This operational guide is dedicated to public, academic and private institutions working in the fields of climate, water, environment, agriculture, livestock, plant protection, food and nutrition security, climate disaster risk reduction, and any other related sectors using (or wishing to use) the products and services of AGRHYMET Regional Climate Centre for West Africa and the Sahel (AGRHYMET RCC-WAS), which is a specialized agency of the Permanent Inter-State Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS). Its main objective is to enhance the value of AGRHYMET RCC-WAS's various products and services, by making them more visible and attractive to development stakeholders (public, academic and private), decision-makers and partners (technical and financial), through their performance, relevance, and effectiveness in meeting the specific and collective needs of different users in the countries of West Africa, the Sahel, and other zones. The guide maps out the various services provided by AGRHYMET RCC-WAS, which is a benchmark institution in the sub-region for diploma and continuing training in the various fields listed above, and for building the operational capacities of state, university and private technical institutions involved in reducing hydro-climatic and phytosanitary risks and improving the productivity of agro-sylvo-pastoral and environmental systems in West Africa and the Sahel. It explains the different types of services that AGRHYMET RCC-WAS provides or can provide, as well as the modalities and procedures that state technical institutions and other applicants must adopt to gain access to them, in accordance with their specific or collective, immediate, or future needs, and in compliance with environmental and social safeguard standards.

The Integrated Farming Project and Pastoralism and Secure in West Africa (PEPISAO) undertook the design of a teaching guide, for the prevention and management of conflicts related to mobile livestock. This document will provide orderly and practical content for stakeholders in particular, technicians accompanying projects as well as direct stakeholders in the field (POs, transhumance committees, etc.). It should be remembered that the objective of PEPISAO is "to reduce conflicts linked to pastoralism by initiating the construction of a shared regional vision on the different ruminant farming methods ".

Les parties prenantes du Projet d’Amélioration de la Gouvernance Alimentaire et Nutritionnelle et de l’Agriculture Durable au Sahel et en Afrique de l’Ouest (PAGR-SANAD), notamment la CEDEAO, l’UEMOA, le CILSS et le CEI/PREGEC à travers le ROPPA, s’investissent fortement dans l’amélioration de la situation alimentaire et nutritionnelle depuis de nombreuses années. Sur le plan institutionnel, la prise en compte de la nutrition a connu une avancée à la suite de l’adhésion de tous les pays de la région sahélienne et ouest-africaine au mouvement Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN). Presque tous les pays ont ainsi procédé à la révision de leurs politiques et stratégies de nutrition selon l’approche multisectorielle. Cependant, les enjeux de la sécurité alimentaire durable sensible à la nutrition demeurent un défi majeur à relever

Le projet Elevages et Pastoralisme Intégrés et Sécurisés en Afrique de l'Ouest (PEPISAO) a entrepris la conception d'un guide didactique, pour la prévention et la gestion des conflits en lien avec l'élevage mobile. Ce document permettra de disposer d'un contenu ordonné et pratique pour les intervenants notamment, les comités de transhumance etc. ). Faut-il le rappeler, l'objectif du PEPISAO est de "réduire les conflits liés au pastoralisme à travers l'amorce de la construction d'une vision régionale partagée sur les différents modes d'élevage ruminant".

Ce guide opérationnel est dédié aux institutions publiques, universitaires et privées qui interviennent dans les domaines du climat, de l’eau, de l’environnement, de l’agriculture, de l’élevage, de la protection des végétaux, de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle, de la réduction des risques des catastrophes climatiques et de tout autre secteur apparenté utilisant (ou qui désirant utiliser) les produits et services d’AGRHYMET Centre Climatique Régional pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest et le Sahel (AGRHYMET C CR-AOS) qui est une institution spécialisée du Comité Permanent Inter-Etats de Lutte contre la Sécheresse dans le Sahel (CILSS).

The stakeholders involved in the project to Improve Food and Nutrition Governance and Sustainable Agriculture in the Sahel and West Africa (PAGR-SANAD), notably ECOWAS, UEMOA, CILSS and CEI/PREGEC region through ROPPA, have been heavily involved in improving the food and nutrition situation for many years. On an institutional level, nutrition has been considered, following the accession of all the countries in the Sahel and West Africa region to the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement. Almost all the countries have revised their nutrition policies and strategies in line with the multi-sectoral approach. However, the issues of nutrition-sensitive sustainable food security remain a major challenge.
