「社会・生態システムの脆弱性とレジリアンス」プロジェクト
第3回ルサカワークショップ

「社会・生態システムの脆弱性とレジリアンス」プロジェクトでは、下記の要領で第3回ルサカワークショップを開催いたします。

プロジェクト最終年度にあたる本ワークショップでは、これまでの研究成果を現地の関連研究機関や調査地の人々に還元するとともに、社会・生態システムのレジリアンスを高める方途に関して議論を行うことを目指します。

【ワークショップの目的】

In a semi-arid tropic country with high variations of climatic conditions like that of Zambia, livelihoods of smallholder farmers depend critically on the vulnerable rain-fed agriculture. Frequent droughts alternating with floods are becoming norms rather than exceptions. In addition to stressors from the natural environment, rural households are facing with added risks from social and economic changes such as fluctuations of commodity prices, changes in land tenure systems and agricultural policies and underdeveloped market infrastructures. The development and sustainability of rural households and communities requires resilience which is the basic capacity to absorb shocks, to learn and reorganize and to innovate so as not to cross the thresholds and degenerate into undesirable states after disturbances.

After years of conducting research in Zambia, the Vulnerability and Resilience of Social-Ecological Systems Project is organizing the 3^rd Lusaka Workshop to present its findings and to use this event as a platform for researchers, policy makers and stakeholders to exchange ideas on ways forwards towards translating the findings into tangible policy implementations for resilient rural developments.
