We continue to live in a world where economic growth and technological advancement offers little for the two billion people living in abject poverty. And we still treat our planet as expendable – exploiting it beyond its natural capacity – and global warming is only one devastating result. In 2011, we were delighted to celebrate the centenary of Fritz Schumacher’s birth.

  • Water Harvesting in Sudan
    WATER HARVESTING IN SUDAN Introduction In semi arid zones such as North Darfur where the rainfall is concentrated over short periods of time, balancing water demand with supply is difficult. The regularity of rainfall and quantity of rainfall in North Darfur has been decreasing; for example the mean rainfall in Kutum has dropped from 345mm to 243mm between 1967 and 1982. The increase in desertification of agricultural land through changing climatic conditions and exploitation of the natural resources is forcing farmers and agro-pastoralists to adapt to their changing surroundings. This has lead to the spread of water harvesting techniques particularly those aimed at catching water in times of flood. The degradation of farmland has hit the poor first, the rich have monopolized the fertile growing areas known as Wadis in Northern Darfur which are areas of land with subsurface water and therefore more capable of producing crops. Farmers in Darfur have worked to overcome the problem of irrigation, whilst avoiding the high costs of many modern irrigation techniques, through the rehabilitation and expansion of traditional water harvesting techniques in the area. Water harvesting techniques Rain water harvesting techniques have been developed for various types of water collection from domestic rain water harvesting schemes through the micro to the macro flood control levels. The harvesting schemes shown below discuss two methods of water harvesting, the first looks at floodwater harvesting through the building of dams, these as discussed vary in design. The second method is the collection and slowing of water through contour systems. It is important when choosing a water harvesting technique to consider not only the physical aspects of the project but the socio and economic requirements of the community it is to serve.

  • Farming That Works for a BETTER WORLD
    Farming that works for a BETTER WORLD Agriculture Capacity Statement Agriculture faces several challenges, especially for small scale producers who account for the majority of production. Soil degradation and environmental damage are making production increasingly fragile. Access to markets and to finance for farmers and small businesses is often difficult, and young people are leaving rural areas. Climate change is exacerbating all of these problems, making both farmers and businesses in the food system vulnerable, and threatening food supplies to consumers. Practical Action aims to make agriculture work better for smallholder farmers, so they can adapt to climate change and achieve a decent standard of living. We believe that for this to be achieved, agriculture needs to be: • Commercially successful. Small-scale farmers need to be integrated into markets to make a reasonable livelihood. This includes having viable commercial relationships with businesses that supply inputs and services to them, and that buy their produce. • Environmentally sustainable. Agricultural practises need to ensure adequate production whilst at the same time maintaining natural capital (soil, water and biodiversity) on which they depend. The ability of farmers and agri-businesses to adapt to climate change is a crucial part of this. • Inclusive. Agricultural markets need to provide fair and meaningful opportunities to all, including women and youth. This includes farmers, but also agri-business entrepreneurs and workers. A healthy rural economy will reduce urban migration and help reverse the ageing of agricultural populations. 2 We are Practical Action An international development organisation putting ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world.

  • Building Resilience for a BETTER WORLD
    Building resilience for a BETTER WORLD Capacity Statement: Disaster Risk Reduction Climate change is leading to increasingly frequent and more severe hazards and disasters. People aected by poverty and inequality are the most vulnerable and hardest hit. We need to build resilience that connects cutting edge science to the needs, priorities and capacities of vulnerable people throughout the world. Practical Action has been working with communities to reduce hazard risk, understand the impact of climate change, and improve people’s resilience since the 1990s. We recognise that predicting and coping with disasters is not enough, so we aim to make resilience a way of life for those most at risk. By adopting new ways of working, living and managing our environments, we can reduce the likelihood of climate and weather-related disasters occurring. We are committed to helping people tackle some of the world’s toughest challenges – made worse by catastrophic climate change and persistent gender inequality. We have witnessed the results working in a range of dierent contexts aected by the cycles of poverty, inequality and disasters around the world. Our varied experience uniquely places us to share innovative, viable and low-cost solutions which address the needs of communities aected by complex, recurring hazards. Our work supports risk-informed decision-making at local and national levels by applying innovative solutions in dierent contexts and at scale, to reach the last mile with eective disaster risk reduction that works for everyone.

Cover Photo "Living in the Shadow" Kigeme, Rwanda by Jelte Harnmeijer About HEED The Humanitarian Engineering and Energy for Displacement (HEED) project is an innovative response to growing recognition of the need to improve access to energy, particularly from renewable sources, for populations displaced by conflict and natural disasters. The focus of HEED is on the lived experiences of Congolese refugees living for protracted periods of time in three refugee camps in Rwanda (Nyabiheke, Gihembe and Kigeme) and internally displaced persons (IDPs) forced to leave their homes as a result of the 2015 earthquake in Nepal. These two countries provide very different environmental, policy and social contexts within which to research energy uses, needs and aspirations.
