Receiving an ‘empty envelope’: governance reforms and the management of farmer-herder conflict in Senegal
Abstract
Le conflit entre fermiers et bergers au Sénégal pourrait bien s’intensifier et les perspectives d’une gestion efficace diminuer par ces réformes mêmes destinées à augmenter la capacité de gouvernance des institutions locales appropriées. Au fur et à mesure que la lutte pour la survie s’intensifie, les perspectives d’une cohabitation paisible déclinent. Plutôt que de construire des relations symbiotiques, les fermiers et bergers décrivent leur destin comme “une condamnation à vivre ensemble” dans des circonstances de plus en plus difficiles. Comme les ressources matérielles et même idéologiques sont essentielles à la constitution du pouvoir nécessaire à une gouvernance locale efficace, et comme ces ressources semblent se raréfier de plus en plus, la capacité de gouvernance au niveau local, définie en termes de gestion de conflit, est ironiquement sapée par la réforme destinée à créer “une bonne gouvernance.” Ces tendances suggèrent le besoin de repenser la base normative et matérielle d’une auto-gouvernance locale efficace, définie comme étant la capacité de gérer les conflits inévitables de la société.

In the citing paper
“Several articles found that 'alliance farming' , which, like cooperatives, involves farmers organizing into groups to pursue specific benefits such as low interest loans for equipment, helped to prevent conflict (O'Bannon 2006, Bukari et al 2018, Feldt et al 2020).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
