Best-fit and best-bet land-use planning for
sustainable natural and agricultural resource
management in inland valleys in West Africa
∞Planification de l'utilisation des bas-fonds pour la gestion
durable des ressources naturelles et agricoles en
Afrique de l'Ouest
Jonne Rodenburg – Agronomist, Africa Rice Center
Inland Valley - environments
IVs: Seasonally flooded wetlands
comprising valley bottoms (fluxial)
and hydromorphic fringes (phreatic)
but excluding river flood plains
Inland Valley - development
Central-drain system Interceptor-canal system
Head-bund system Contour-bund system
Inland Valley – ecosystem services & users
Ecosystem services:
• Biodiversity
• Water storage
• Flood and erosion control
• Nutrient retention
• Stabilization of micro-climate
Uses:
• Agriculture – rice, vegetables, …
• Clay and sand for crafts, construction
• Forest, wildlife, fisheries, forage
resources
• Cultural heritage, recreation, tourism
Inland Valley – sustainable rice production
• 190 M ha IVs in Africa
• Current: 2% IVs used for rice
• 2035: 13% IV area needed for rice
production using GAP
• 87% IV area for other ecosystem
services – biodiversity
conservation
• Systematic, participatory
approaches needed for selection
and improvement of IVs and
production practices with the
highest —agricultural— potential
and lowest —degradation— risk
Capitalizing the inland valley potential for food and
nutrition security for smallholder farmers in West Africa
(CIPA)
∞Capitalisation du potentiel des bas-fonds pour la sécurité
alimentaire et nutritionnelle pour les petits agriculteurs
d'Afrique de l'Ouest
CIPA Project – donor, partners, objectives
• Time: 1 June 2017 – 31 May 2021
• Donor: IFAD
• Partners:
o AfricaRice
o CNRA – Côte d’Ivoire
o SRI – Ghana
o Wageningen University
• Goal: Contribute to enhanced food and
nutrition security, poverty alleviation and
climate resiliency of local communities in
Africa
• Objective: Ensure sustainable and productive
use of IVs for rice-based production systems
CIPA project – outcomes
• Better targeted investments in IV
development by local communities,
national governments and donors
• Optimized resource use to improve
climate resiliency adopted by IV
communities
• Increased rice yields in IV systems
• Enhanced market opportunities,
linkages between IV actors
• Increased annual household incomes
of IV users
• Natural resources preserved
• Rural development professionals
trained

N a t i o n a l I V m a p s & p o l i c i e s
Component 1: Identify and assess IV potential for rice-
based systems development at the national level
• Geospatial database with socio-
economic and biophysical
characteristics of selected IVs
• Parameters that determine IV
development potential
• Maps of IVs with high potential for
development – low risk for
biodiversity degradation
Methods: GIS/RS, digital elevation
modeling, Random Forest
procedures, surveys

Component 2: Facilitate collective decision-making and
priority setting, to co-design and plan IV resource use
• Decision-making guide on IV selection
for informed compromise between
ecosystem services
• Promote collective decision-making,
priority setting re land- and water-use
planning
Methods: surveys, Working Wetland
Potential, Experimental Ecosystem
Accounting framework, MSPs, expert
consultations, land-use modeling, land-use
scenario analysis
• Establish alternative IV uses to reduce production and climate
risks, optimize resource use and climate resilience
• Evaluate and improve locally-adapted, alternative resource
use and integrated management options
Methods: surveys, land-use scenarios analysis, MSPs,
participatory technology testing
