The Institute of Rural Development and Environmental Studies (IRDES)
The significance of this centre emerges from the fact that approximately two third of the population live in a rural or semi-rural setting. Their livelihood is under threat due to environmental degradation and climate changes. Large tracks of grazing land and forests have been already lost due to: - Overgrazing
- Deforestation
- Frequent droughts and
- Lack of proper land management
In spite of the importance of the sector and the deteriorating situation, there are no institutions dedicated to monitoring, studying or improving rural environment and economy. The Institute aims to:
- Carry out research into the causes of environmental degradation
- Monitor environmental degradation and the effects of such degradation on the lives of the pastoral community
- Raise national and international awareness of the environmental problems facing the rural population
- Carry out a national survey of the flora and the fauna stock
- Build and maintain a data bank on rural ecosystems
- Publish and promote research results
- Promote good range and forestry management
- Provide training on rural development issues
- Link up with similar institutions world wide
