The Association for the Promotion of Livestock in the Sahel and Savanna (APESS) is organizing a workshop in Bobo-Dioulasso from May 7 to 10, 2024. This workshop served as a framework to lay the foundations of a multi-actor innovation platform for natural resource management and conflict prevention (PI-GRN) in the Hauts-Bassins.The Hauts-Bassins region now has a multi-actor innovation platform for natural resource management and conflict prevention (PI-GRN). The establishment of this structure took place in Bobo-Dioulasso during a workshop organized by the Association for the Promotion of Livestock in the Sahel and Savanna (APESS) from May 7 to 10, 2024. This implementation place comes after those of PI-GRN of Korhogo in Ivory Coast, Sikasso, Bougouni and Koutiala in Mali, and the Cascades region in Burkina Faso.The opening ceremony of the workshop was chaired by the High Commissioner of the Tuy province, Issiaka Segda, who represented the governor of Hauts-Bassins. The 4 days of work, according to him, s hould allow, among other things, to validate the basic data collected, to set up the IP-GRN of Hauts-Bassins, and to develop an action plan for the new IP -GRN.He began by emphasizing that despite their importance in the economy and their significant contribution to the dynamics of regional integration, mobile livestock systems are currently faced with increasing factors of vulnerability. 'Cross-border transhumance is associated with issues such as the carrying of weapons of war, the rape of women, theft of cattle and the resurgence of banditry ,' he said.A situation which, according to Issiaka Segda, contributes to creating a feeling of distrust between transhumants and farmers but also between different communities. For the representative of the governor, the establishment of a regional dialogue, respect and implementation of legislative and regulatory texts, are an alternative for the eradication of violent conflicts linked to the use of natural resources in the areas of cross-border transhumance.PI- RNs, Issiaka Segda continued, are not just places for discussion, they also create opportunities for stakeholders to test solutions to common problems. For the president of APESS, Ahmadou Dicko, also Emir of Baraboulé, the objective is to achieve a general assembly between all the actors of the PI-GRN.'We have problems between farmers and breeders combined with insecurity' ,' admitted the first head of APESS. It should be noted that this dynamic is supported by partners such as the Peaceful Cross-Border Pastoral Mobility and Social Stability in the Sahel (MOPSS) program and the Regional Project to Support Pastoralism in the Sahel (PRAPS).
