dc.description.abstract | In developing countries, access to and use of renewable natural resources are essential for rural livelihoods to thrive. Hence, cooperation in the management of natural resources is increasingly an important strategy that can enhance long-term socio-ecological resilience. In most cases, collective actions have widely been recognised as an alternative institutional arrangement to centralised governance for the management of natural resources, but their success largely depends on factors that are specific to localities where they are implemented. In this study, factors that influence adoption and extent of adoption of natural resource conservation activities were identified using two case studies: Bubaare and Bufundi Innovation Platforms in Uganda. The drivers of adoption of community natural resource management strategies are analysed using an Ordered Logit Model while extent of adoption is analysed using a truncated regression model. The education level of a household head, membership in collective action group, and perception of plot slope and relevance of bye-laws were factors associated with likelihood of adoption. Value of livestock, membership in collective action group, access to credit and off-farm income were found to positively influence the level of investment. Thus, collective action increases opportunities for adoption; hence farmers should be supported to work collectively. Dans les pays en voie de développement, l’accès et l’utilisation des ressources naturelles sont essentiels pour lasuivie en mileu rural et pour y prospérer. Ainsi, la coopération dans la gestion des ressources naturelles est de plus en plus une stratégie importante qui peut améliorer à long terme la cohésion socio-écologique. Dans beaucoup decas; les actions collectives ont été largement reconnues comme une alternative d’organisation institutionnelle pour centraliser la gouvernance de la gestion des ressources naturelles, mais leur succès dépend largement des facteurs qui sont spécifiques aux milieux où elles sont mise en oeuvre. Dans cette étude, les facteus qui influencent l’adoption et le degré d’adoption des activités de conservation des ressources naturelles étaient identifiés en utilisant deux cas d’étude: Les Plate-formes d’Innovation de Bubaare et Bufundi en Ouganda. Les forces motrices d’adoption des strategies de gestion des ressources naturelles communautaires sont analysées en utilsant un modèle Logit Ordonné tandis que le degré d’adoption est analysé en utilisant un modèle de régression tronqué. Le niveau d’éducation du chef de ménage, l’appartenance au groupe d’action collective, et la perception de la pente de la parcelle et limportance des arrêtés étaient les facteurs associés au taux d’adoption. La value du bétail, l’appartenance au groupe d’action collective, l’accès au crédit et le revenu non- agricole étaient les facteurs qui influencent positivement le niveau d’investissement. Donc, les actions collectives augmentent les opportunités pour l’adoption; ainsi les producteurs devraient être encouragés à travailler de façcon collective. | en_US |
