Empowering Women Skills in Combating Desertification in Sudan
- Maha Ali Abdel Latif; Eiman Elrashid Diab
- United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD, 1994) addresses the importance of a bottom-up participatory approach in desertification issues, such as in implementing projects to combat desertification. Sudan suffers desertification problem which become much serious after secession of its southern part to an independent country. In decertified areas, the role of Sudanese women and their knowledge in natural resources management and food security become very crucial. They are usually ranked among poorest of the poor and thus suffer problems to sustain their families. Women are affected by desertification directly as it reduce soil fertility and affect water resources upon which they depend to provide food and fuel for their families. A case study is carried out at the El Rawakeeb Dry land Area with latitudes of 15°-2' and 15°-36' North and longitudes of 32°-0' and 32°-10' East. The system of land use is mainly pastoral except in the low lands where traditional agriculture is practiced. The Ethnic groups of the area belong to Gamuia and Hawaweer tribes. The study is aimed to empower women skills in order to combat desertification through extension activities on desertification cause and effects, and informal seminars on some technologies applied to control desertification, such as: 1. nursing of seedling, 2. planting of trees adapted to xeric conditions and can be used to construct shelterbelts, 3. distribution of Azadrichta indica and Prosopis chilensis seedlings among women to plant at their homes and giving incentive prizes for best growing trees, 4. provision of gas cylinders for women as energy source to minimize trees cutting. The results show that environmental awareness is improved significantly among women. They participate successfully in restoring plant cover of the area, use alternative energy source safely and willingly share their indigenous knowledge with researchers
