dc.descriptionThe Inclusive Landscape Management (ILM) is a comprehensive approach to landscape management that considers the needs of all stakeholders, with particular focus on the local communities. The primary aim of the Inclusive Landscape Management Plan (ILMP) for Cibitoke Province in Burundi is to establish a framework that promotes sustainable landscape management and development. This initiative, part of the TAFS-WCA project, seeks to mitigate increasing pressures on landscapes caused by deforestation, land degradation, poor water management, unsustainable mining practices, and climate change. The ILMP emphasizes the integration of social and ecological systems, while encouraging local participation and promoting sustainable resource management. It is grounded in extensive stakeholder engagement and shared ownership of decision-making. The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) collaborated with gender and social inclusion experts, local informants, and community members from the Nyamagana micro-watershed to develop this plan. The initial phase involved crafting a narrative to inspire inclusive landscape management in the region, followed by an assessment of current conditions and the identification of key challenges and opportunities. The Institute of Agronomic Sciences of Burundi (ISABU) research team and stakeholders formulated management strategies to enhance the social-ecological landscape of Nyamagana. These strategies are designed to address core issues while achieving desired outcomes. The collective vision guiding the ILMP is "to sustainably co-harvest landscape resources in a transparent and accountable manner to foster resilient communities and healthy ecosystems in Nyamagana." Stakeholders proposed various response strategies, including improved agricultural systems, enhanced irrigation infrastructure, adoption of better seeds, restoration of soil and forests, and upgrading of farmers' skills and practices. The ILMP is a living document that will be regularly updated to adapt to environmental changes and evolving stakeholder needs. It serves as a vital resource for promoting inclusive and sustainable landscape management within the Nyamagana social-ecological sub-watershed and across Cibitoke Province.
