Non-effective water cycle Effective water cycle
Soil bare between plants Soil covered with plants and mulch
50-80% of rainfall is lost through run-off and evaporation.

Sub-Saharan Africa
• 70% of the population relies on dry and sub-humid lands.
• Desertification affects 1/3 of the continent.
• 40% of the land is dedicated to pastoralism.

•Planned and controlled grazing
•Deep rooted diverse perennial species
•Full soil cover
•Prohibit burning
•Plan for drought in timeand not space

Recommendations• Manage for effective water cycles and
livelihoods. Drought prevention and climate adaptation are linked.
• Consider a campaign for agro-ecological approaches that results in diverse soil cover
• Uplift and recognize the role and practice of women and men farmers and pastoralists who directly manage our natural resource base and are constantly adapting to change (including drought cycle management practiced by indigenous peoples).
• Facilitate the exchange of know-how.• Build out Communities of Practice for
information exchange and capacity building for multi-stakeholder decision making.
• Ensure secure tenure and user rights. Photo credit: C.Neely

I have seen both sides of waterMildred Mkandla
“Many in my part of the world – Africa, have only lived on one side of water.
The other side of water, the side with little or no water
They can and must experience the other side of water too
If we work hard enough to make sure it happens, I have lived on both sides of waterAnd I know what it is like on both”
