The effects of climate change and human activity are leading to the rapid degradation of natural resources. At the same time as these natural resources are deteriorating, their use is steadily increasing due to population growth, creating a situation conducive to conflict due to competition for access. A dual challenge is therefore emerging: improving the availability of natural resources and, at the same time, securing access to them, particularly for vulnerable groups (women, displaced persons, young people, transhumant pastoralists).
These issues are important to ensure stability and social cohesion in a context of insecurity marked by risks of ethnic stigmatization and/or exclusion of social components. Hence the formulation of recommendations for a natural resource development and management plan within an institutional framework.
