Approaches to the IASCP Regionalization Process at the Level of the West African French-Speaking Sub-Region
(2002) Ba, Boubacar
From Page 1: "As a part of the expansion of IASCP, a method of creating networks of researchers and scholars started in the West African French-speaking sub-region. This method, initiated at the IASCP Executive Council meeting in Hirtshals, Denmark, in June 2001 has seen a positive development in the West African sub-region with a new process of scientific and linguistic integration and program planning in order to appropriate common property resources under globalization. This process of network creation in the West African French-speaking subregion contains several steps and various ways of intervening in the theoretical and practical domains."
Cheminement du Processus de Régionalisation de I'IASCP au Niveau de la Zone Francophone Ouest Africane
(2002) Ba, Boubacar
From Page 1: "Dans le cadre de lélargissement des bases de lIASCP, un processus de mise en réseau des chercheurs et universitaires a été engage dans la zone Ouest Africaine Francophone. Ce processus amorcé depuis la rencontre du Conseil Exécutif de lIASCP a Hirtshals au Danemark a connu une évolution positive dans la sous-region Ouest Africaine avec une nouvelle démarche dintégration scientifique, linguistique et de planification des programmes en vue de sapproprier les ressources communes a lheure de la mondialisation. Ce processus de mise en réseau en Afrique de lOuest Francophone a connu plusieurs étapes et divers modes dintervention dans les domaines théoriques et pratiques."
Integration of Pastoral Institutions (The Jowro) in Local Governance: Change of the Ways of Thinking and Decentralized Management Practices of Pastoral Development in the Delta Region of Mopti in Mali
(2006) Ba, Boubacar
"Today it is admitted that the management process of the local governance and the settlement of social conflicts from consultations on the local development questions are the major stake for the building of the democratic state in Mali. Since the social political change of 1991, Mali has been dealing with a development strategy closer to the local institutions and decentralized communities. This practical vision support of local institutions is registered with the logic of decentralization with relies on the democratic principles. This analysis is in keeping with general pattern of the implementation of the management process of pastoral resources in the Mopti region. The process has been on main themes among which the set of problems of Jowro insertion in the local governance, the evolution of their status and the use of contract for their activities with the decentralized territorial communities in the Kounary zone located in the district of Mopti. The major themes are based on: (1) The identification, the recognition and the moralization of the jowro practice; (2) The promotion of the jowro organization in public use fullness association; (3) The settlement of monitoring mechanism for the Jowro insertion in the local governance with the mechanisms of flexible and adapted intermediations to their needs."
Natural Resources and Decentralization: Local Institutions' Role in Co-Management and Local Conflict Resolution in the Mopti Region
(2000) Ba, Boubacar
"Since the socio-political changes of 1991, Mali has chosen an institutional development strategy closer to local institutions and the rising collectivities. In order to lead efficiently this ambitious program and measure the real stakes, these local institutions, having been enduring till now many economic, political and social mutations, want to integrate more and more the institutional domain of the society on the way of democracy. This has been noticeable for some years with the starting of decentralization (constitution of GREM Regional Group of Surveys and Mobilization, team for territorial boundaries setting, village arrangements for territorial boundaries settings, communal elections). "In the dynamics of this process evolution, the Delta region of Mopti with its problems and its ecological specificity, presents a rich field of experience in practice. For three decades, we have been aware of local institutions work crisis and disorganization towards other actors and we noticed the supremacy exerted by the State through the system of administration known hitherto. "The basic question is to know whether the local institutions for natural resources management can face the new responsibilities because, till now, these structures have lived in the shadow of the State administrations thought and domination through the chiefs of village who exert a hybrid power. They are the local administration representatives and sometimes activities coordinators of local resources management or members of traditional institutions. "Facing the stakes and directing of decentralization, emergent local institutions wish in this way to have a position and they are favourable to an intellectual assimilation of the theoretical and practical tools for the process in order to play the role of real actors on the field. The different thoughts going on lead to a good identification of these emergent local institutions for the creation of a new synergic vision in the new development space that is the rise of communes. This is the reason why the association 'Eveil', being a private operator for development, gave itself up to support institutions emergence with an efficient pedagogic approach giving a value to human resources (in French Méthode VRH) and reinforcing a convergence of the civil society. This experience of Eveil is in consistency with the institutional process begun since 1991 and it deserves to be better known as a real basis for the civil society in the new communes development."
