Sahel social cohesion research in Burkina Faso and Niger: Research Brief

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
The World Food Programme (WFP) supports communities to mitigate the impact of and build resilience to natural and human-made shocks and stressors that contribute to food insecurity and destabilize people’s livelihoods. WFP’s interventions, therefore, aim to equip communities with the knowledge, skills, and tools to avert or mitigate the impact of cyclical natural events such as droughts and floods through asset and capacity building in affected communities. In the Sahelian areas of Burkina Faso and Niger (as part of a broader regional program also covering Chad, Mali, and Mauritania), WFP promotes climate-resilient agricultural infrastructure and systems to help address issues of land degradation, deforestation, dwindling pasturelands, and depletion of water sources, which all trigger competition for productive resources and migration of people and livestock into better-resourced areas. The interventions also aim to address the impacts of violent conflict from within and outside communities in the Sahelian belt of the two countries, especially those related to extremist groups operating in the area. Though primarily designed to increase community assets for productive purposes, WFP’s support for the rehabilitation of lands, construction of water-harvesting and retention structures, reforestation and protection of farmlands and pastures, and soil fertility improvement interventions also aims to increase the availability of, reduce intergroup competition for, and ensure equitable access to these resources. In this way, WFP hopes to reduce conflicts over community resources. The use of participatory and collaborative processes for mobilizing and engaging communities should also contribute to increased dialogue within and between different communities and promote peaceful coexistence among the different groups. In particular, the requirement of collaborative approaches to development of communal assets is intended to create spaces of encounter and dialogue that could ease tensions, promote equity in the distribution and use of the created assets, and build relationships among various stakeholders and community groups to ensure that actions for resilience building have the support of government, development partners, and other decision-makers at several administrative levels.

A Practical Guide to Trauma-Sensitive Research
Author: Ayhan AlmanPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 104013405X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
A Practical Guide to Trauma-Sensitive Research showcases the novel idea of trauma-informed interventions for researchers, proposing clinical supervision as the standard rather than the exception. This framework not only aids in managing the aftermath of trauma but also opens new opportunities for both clinicians and researchers. The book details the theoretical foundations of trauma, including the latest insights into how trauma affects individuals and communities, and addresses practical applications of trauma-sensitive methodologies in research. It emphasises ethical considerations, the importance of clinical supervision, and the necessity of adopting a trauma-sensitive approach to protect both research participants and researchers from the potential emotional toll of exposure to trauma. By bridging clinical practices with qualitative research, this book not only opens new professional avenues for clinicians and researchers but also advocates for a research environment that is empathetic, ethical, and informed by a deep understanding of trauma and its impacts. A Practical Guide to Trauma-Sensitive Research will be of great utility to User Experience (UX) Professionals, such as service designers, UX designers, consultants, and researchers involved in qualitative research. Additionally, it will be of value to clinical professionals like social workers, psychologists, and psychotherapists, offering insights and supervision on applying trauma-informed approaches in non-clinical research settings.
