Description
Summary:This study was devoted to identify factors contributing to sustainable anti erosive systems in Burundi. An enquiry to determine characteristics of 100 families who maintain anti erosive systems and 100 who have abandoned them in the communes of Kabarorre and Rutegama has been realized. Statistical treatments (test Khi-two of Pearson and logit tests) combined with focus groups indicate that better informed, educated and wealthy persons with livestock are those who tend to maintain anti erosive systems. Coercion, gifts in cash or nature can just maintain the systems the time of the project and ought to be avoided. Sensitization, education, participatory action research based on easy technologies (priority to grass hedges and not to anti erosive ditches) and incentives generating additional resources to population (forage, animals, Grevillea) and previously discussed with farmers can improve sustainable maintenance of anti erosion systems.
