  • Niger Profile Dakoro Katsinawa Agropastoral Final 2008
    OXFAM – SCUK – ACF Dakoro Livelihood Profiles Katsinawa Agropastoralists 20081 The Context The central subjects of this profile are a Fulani group whose ancestors migrated into Niger around one century ago from an area in what is now Katsina State in Northern Nigeria. Hence they call themselves Katsinawa. Villagers said their forebears left Nigeria because of population pressure on the land, for cultivation as well as grazing. Some said that their ancestors were pure pastoralists; others said that their ancestors had always practiced both herding and cultivation with equal importance. When they set up their current villages, up to 80 years ago, the area was still uninhabited by any other settlers and was populated by many wild animals. Although the Katsinawa are in the majority, there are some households in the villages from other groups, especially Farfarou Fulani and a few Touareg. In this northern sahelian area there is a gradation amongst agropastoralists from those who practice cultivation regularly alongside herding and depend on their harvest for perhaps 50% of their livelihood, to those who practice cultivation opportunistically depending on the quality of the rains and their exact circumstances. In order to achieve a clear contrast with pure pastoralists, the Katsinawa were chosen for this study as representing the numerous agropastoralists who are strongly and permanently dependent on cultivation. This profile complements another, describing the Bororo Pastoralists further North in Dakoro who were studied at the same time as the Katsinawa Agropastoralists, and which is referred to in the text, along with profiles of two Hausa groups studied in Tessaoua last year2.

  • Socio-Economic Factors of Vulnerability to Climate Change in Rural Communities
    International Journal of Weed Science and Technology ISSN 4825-3499 Vol. 1 (5), pp. 031-039, May, 2017. Available online at www.advancedscholarsjournals.org © Advanced Scholars Journals Full Length Research Paper Socio-economic factors of vulnerability to climate change in rural communities *Dinaw Tulu Defar, Selamawi Mideksa Tessema and Baruch Aweke Département de la Sociologie et d’Economie Rurale, Faculté d’Agronomie et de l’Environnement, Université Dan Dankoulodo de Maradi, Maradi, Niger. Accepted 13 April, 2017 In Niger, climate change affects the majority of the population, especially the rural communities. The present study intends to contribute to the understanding of the actual perception of climate changes by the population along with the degree of apprehensiveness of the population regarding the climatic manifestations described by scientists. To this end, two communities have been targeted in the Department of Dakoro. The data from the study were mainly obtained by collecting quantitative and qualitative information on the community perception of the impacts of climate change and variability. The results of this scientific contribution demonstrate once again the link between the experiences of producers and scientific evidence. Thus, perceptions of the phenomenon of climate change are very diverse and vary according to the communities and their level of vulnerability. The impacts listed include drought, rainfall deficit, rising temperatures and decreasing soil fertility. The rainfall deficit associated with the decline in soil fertility and the resurgence of crop pests weakens the agricultural sector. The livestock system is highly vulnerable to recurring forage deficit, drought, and degradation of grazing areas and, above all, animal theft, which reflects the increased poverty in the area.
