| Research Abstract |
In semi-arid West Africa under desertification, we achieved to identify"years of crisis"and the coping behaviors of local people, to elucidate indigenous information and technology dissemination channel, and to develop some practical techniques for desertification control. The techniques include"fallow-band system"for wind erosion control and yield increase,"contour-band of Andropogon with Zai"for water erosion control and income generation and"technology extension method using social-network survey"for improving conventional participatory approach in community development assistance. Some of the techniques have already been introduced and extended in Niger, West Africa.
