TESTING SCENARIOS ON THE VIABILITY OF SMALLHOLDING IRRIGATION SCHEMES IN SOUTH AFRICA: A PARTICIPATORY AND INFORMATION-BASED APPROACH
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Perret,   Sylvain R.
Government smallholder irrigation schemes were developed in former homeland areas of South Africa during the apartheid era.  Although experiencing serious financial, technical, and institutional problems, most of them are now earmarked for rehabilitation and transfer to water users' associations.  Transfer operators find it difficult to evaluate the potential for viability, then to organize the transfer accordingly.  The paper refers to a multi-disciplinary, action-research approach that has been proposed to address such issues.  It has been implemented in a case study scheme management, the possible contributions by farmers to cover these costs, the possible charging system to be set up, and finally the impact of certain measures or decisions, or certain...

ANALYSING THE LOW ADOPTION OF WATER CONSERVATION TECHNOLOGIES BY SMALLHOLDER FARMERS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Perret,   Sylvain R.; Stevens,   Joe B.
Natural resource degradation and water scarcity are a global concern, which typically threatens the sustainability of smallholder farmers' livelihoods in semi-arid developing areas.  As part of research efforts, a number of water-conservation technologies (WCT) have been developed, yet with low adoption rates in smallholder farming environments.  This paper discusses the concepts of adoption and innovation, comparing the perspectives of research operators to the ones of smallholder farmers.  Discrepancies are highlighted and ultimately explain low uptake of technologies by farmer.  Then it addresses socio-economic factors affecting such adoption.  It is argued that WCT show specific traits: (1) diversity and applicability to different time and spatial...

STUDYING THE LOCAL DIVERSITY OF RURAL LIVELIHOODS SYSTEMS: AN APPLICATION OF TYPOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES FOR INTEGRATED RURAL DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT IN THE EASTERN CAPE (SOUTH AFRICA)
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Perret,   Sylvain R.; Kirsten,   Johann F.
This paper presents briefly the principles and procedure of typology schemes, which aim at describing and representing the local diversity of rural households, through the analysis of their modes of operation, strategies and prospects, activities and livelihoods' systems.  This approach departs from both strict economic analysis and social participatory approaches, which often overlook the diversity that exists among rural households at local level.  It basically combines the respective principles and advantages of both approaches.  Through a case study, which was carried out in a rural community of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, the paper highlights this local diversity, its representation through a typology scheme, and the issues related to...

INTER-SECTORAL COMPETITION FOR WATER ALLOCATION IN RURAL SOUTH AFRICA: ANALYSING A CASE STUDY THROUGH A STANDARD ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS APPROACH
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Farolfi,   Stefano; Perret,   Sylvain R.
South Africa has adopted an ambitious new water legislation that promotes equity, sustainability, representativity and economic performance through water management decentralization, new local and regional management institutions, water users' licensing, and the possible emergence of water rights' markets. This paper addresses the diversity of water users and uses that currently exists in rural areas, and especially focuses on the competition for water that may result from such a diversity in a context of water scarcity, and from the diversity of objectives formulated by the public authorities.  The paper first briefly describes the current institutional arrangements regarding access to water.  It also presents the situation in rural areas where farming...

NEW WATER POLICY, IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT TRANSFER AND SMALLHOLDING IRRIGATION SCHEMES IN SOUTH AFRICA: INSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Perret,   Sylvain R.
This paper briefly reviews the situation of smallholding irrigation schemes –SIS- in previously disadvantaged rural areas of South Africa.  It then analyses the implication of the new National Water Act of 1998 on those schemes, with regard to the IMT process.  An analysis of water rights related issues is proposed.  It highlights a number of contradictions, uncertainties and possible threats which may hinder further development, and sustainable IMT in SIS.

MATCHING POLICIES ON RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND LOCAL GOVERNANCE IN SOUTH AFRICA: RECENT HISTORY, PRINCIPLES, AND CURRENT CHALLENGES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Perret,   Sylvain R.
The paper discusses the link between local governance and rural development in democratic South Africa.  It underlines several issues and challenges facing the government's willingness to position local municipalities as the key providers and promoters of development in rural areas. The paper first presents two parallel policy streams that took place since 1994.  On the one hand, local government has been gradually established and strengthened, as the third constitutional sphere of governance, in line with an overall decentralization process.  On the other hand, rural development has taken a growing place into political discourses from 1994 onwards, and has been promoted or implemented through various policies, legislations and programmes, which has often...

POVERTY AND DIVERSITY OF LIVELIHOOD SYSTEMS IN POST-APARTHEID RURAL SOUTH AFRICA: INSIGHTS INTO LOCAL LEVELS IN THE EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Perret,   Sylvain R.
This paper highlights the plight of black rural areas in South Africa, in which deep poverty and weak subsistence agriculture are embedded.  The apartheid policy and its numerous measures are the first causes of such a situation.  Besides, the existence of a relatively well-developed non-agricultural labour market also maintains productive agricultural activities at a low level. This paper attempts to contextualize those elements in the Eastern Cape province.  At province level, the paper first provides the main features of poverty and livelihood systems.  Then, typological approaches are used to better understand the socio-economic diversity of local livelihood systems, beyond generic statistics. The results show that diversity is a major trait of local...
