Exploring the quality of participation in an application of the Adaptive Systemic Approach to integrated water resources management development in Rwanda
The Adaptive Systemic Approach (ASA) is designed to enable researchers from different disciplines, with varying applied sustainability science experience, to collaborate, and to engage with landscape stakeholders, in tackling complex sustainability issues. Participation and collaboration are at the heart of the ASA, infusing all activities. Here, we use a three-dimensional participatory framework: emancipatory, instrumental, and oppressive partic…
A trajectory of change in the Guiers Lake Basin, Senegal
The Guiers Lake Basin in Senegal has undergone intensive changes through numerous water development initiatives such as water treatment plants for the Dakar drinking water supply, agriculture, livestock breeding, and fishing. In the region, large-scale farming activities and agribusinesses have increasingly encroached on lands where subsistence family farming once dominated. This situation has significant implications for water quality, quantity,…
Applying the Adaptive Systemic Approach to activate community participation in waste management and pollution control in the Inner Murchison Bay, Uganda
Managing waste and preventing water pollution are urgent and interconnected challenges in rapidly urbanizing African cities. In Uganda, unregulated waste disposal is threatening the ecological and social health of Lake Victoria, particularly in Inner Murchison Bay, near Kampala’s Ggaba Landing Site. This study examines how the Adaptive Systemic Approach (ASA), developed within a multi-country African project: Unlocking Resilient Benefits from Afr…
Towards SDG 15.3
Accurate and reliable estimation of terrestrial ecosystem degradation is critical to meeting the challenge of reversing land degradation. Remote sensing data (especially land productivity dynamics) is commonly used to estimate land degradation, and this study uses the TRENDS.EARTH toolbox for the period covering 2000–2018, demonstrating the benefit of tracking the degradation process (SDG 15.3.1) at a biophysical unit. Contributing to the country…
A strategy to enhance management of free basic water via communal taps in South Africa
About 7.5 million South Africans access gratuitous drinking water via communal taps provided by municipalities under a free basic water policy. Supplying running water for free to low-income communities is essential but can result in water wastage due to a potential indifference of non-paying end-consumers. The consequence is a loss of municipal water and financial resources. We outline a new strategy that rewards low-income communities for reduc…
