Résumé
L’approche de recherche-développement agricole (RDA) a été utilisée pour déterminer les stratégies de survie de la communauté Ganspan, la dynamique socioéconomique actuelle et comment elle influe sur les moyens d’existence, la vision du futur, et élaborer une feuille de route initiale pour obtenir de meilleurs moyens d’existence. Sur 210 ménages, quatre-vingts ont été choisis pour déterminer la typologie des moyens d’existence de la communauté. Des outils d’évaluation rurale participative ont été utilisés pour explorer la perception par les parties prenantes des problèmes/opportunités actuels et les solutions possibles. Seuls 3 pour cent des ménages dépendent uniquement de l’agriculture, tandis que la majorité (76%) tire sa subsistance d’activités non-agricoles. Les ménages restants vivent d’activités agricoles et non-agricoles. La contribution de l’agriculture au revenu des ménages est modeste, comparée aux subven- tions sociales et à l’emploi social. En général, la communauté est économiquement défavorisée. Des stratégies de développement ont été identifiées, passées au crible et les priorités établies. La collaboration et l’action conjointe entre les diverses parties prenantes sont essentielles pour le développement durable de la communauté. La mise en place d’une plate-forme d’innovation avec des représentants des parties prenantes concernées est fortement recommandée, pour la mise en œuvre conjointe de plans d’action pour le développement intégré et interinstitutions.
