    Driven by our vision of a world where all people have viable livelihoods supported by healthy and productive landscapes, our global team of science, research, development, institutional and resource professionals seeks to better combine the science of discovery with the science of delivery. To realize this vision, we focus on four key interacting themes: By combining more productive trees with more resilient and profitable agricultural systems and a sounder understanding of the health of the soil, land and people that is part of ‘greener’, better governed landscapes, we offer valuable and timely knowledge products and services to the global community as it tackles the major challenges of the Anthropocene. These include dealing with climate change; low soil carbon; widespread forest, tree and soil loss leading to degradation; poverty; demographic upheavals and conflict; and securing equitable futures for all with a special focus on women and children.

La cérémonie d’ouverture de cet atelier était présidée par le représentant du ministre de l’administration territoriale et de la décentralisation, Salif Dembélé, en présence du président du conseil d’administration du Sahel Eco, Norbert Dembélé, du Directeur de programme DryDev pour le Sahel, Dr George Okwach, des autres responsables du Sahel Eco et plusieurs personnalités. Dans ses mots de bienvenue, le président du conseil d’administration du Sahel Eco, Norbert Dembélé a remercié les participants de l’atelier d’avoir effectué le déplacement en grand nombre qui dénote leur engagement pour le développement rural et particulièrement l’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire et le développement économique rural. Il a rappelé que le Programme de Développement des Terres Arides ou Drylands Development Programme (DryDev) est une initiative de ICRAF (Centre Mondial sur l’Agroforesterie) qui couvre 5 pays de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et de l’Est à savoir le Mali, le Burkina Faso, le Niger, l’Ethiopie et le Kenya.

Le programme DryDev est financé par le Ministère des Affaires Etrangères (MAE) des Pays-Bas et sa coordination globale est assurée par le Centre Mondial sur l’Agroforesterie (ICRAF). Il a comme ambition de favoriser la transition d’une agriculture de subsistance et d’aide d’urgence à un développement rural durable cela à travers un paquets intégrés d’interventions portant sur l’amélioration de la fertilité des sols, la restauration et l’enrichissement des parcs agro forestiers, la disponibilité de l’eau pour diverses utilisations, la structuration des chaînes de valeur agro sylvo pastorales, la facilitation de l’accès au marché, aux crédits et aux services financiers », a-t-il souligné. A l’en croire, la mise en œuvre de ce programme au cours des 5 dernières années a permis d’atteindre des résultats importants. Enfin, Norbert Dembélé dira que cet atelier vise à partager et diffuser l’approche et les leçons apprises de DryDev dans l’optique de susciter l’intérêt d’autres acteurs pour répliquer et mettre à échelle l’expérience de DryDev pour renforcer la résilience et la sécurité alimentaire des communautés des zones arides et semi-arides. Pour sa part, le Directeur de programme DryDev pour le Sahel, Dr George Okwach s’est réjouit d’être au Mali. Avant de signaler que cet atelier permettra de partager les résultats obtenus par le programme DryDev. A l’en croire, il y a eu des acquis dans l’exécution de ce programme. Enfin, il a invité les participants de l’atelier à faire des recommandations pertinentes. Quant au représentant du ministre de l’administration territoriale et de la décentralisation, Salif Dembélé, le programme DryDev a engrangé des résultats satisfaisants qui méritent d’être dupliqués dans d’autres cieux.
