THE AGRICULTURE INTERVATION FIELD

1. In the first phase, after sensitization, the terrain team process to the installation of central seed case in the different pygmy sites so that all the beneficiaries understand to the same time the processus of seed cases, the necessary condition of the culture. In the central seed cases, the activities are communities until the distribution of plants. In this first Phase of the project, the culture chase in the different gardens as it`s small with a systematic control of agricultural monitors. The target of this phase is to learn individually the families pygmy and to ensure that all the beneficiaries understood the agricultural technics.

The PPSDR team teach the pygmy by their example, that’s why the pygmy members aim to their initiative. Here the coordinator, himself take a hoe to motivate those who will lower their hands to work. Beside him, is the one who is in charge of logistic also in work

The making of seed in the flower bed

To avoid that the dryness or the rain be a limit factor to our seed`s case, we initiated the seed case with shelter to reduce the threat of solar rays or heavy rain

In the site of BWANGE or NYAMAKINGA

After plant the seed, we have to make the shelter for seed case to his protection..

in the site of KAMASHULI/KARANYWA BOZI

To know the evolution of seed case, we have to pass in the ground between the flower beds.

The work is the same in all sites.

In the site of KABONEKE

In all the sites, the pygmy were mobilized to install their seed case without be pushed. That’s reassure us their interest in the farming project to the security food chain of native household.

In the pygmy site of MUGOTE

Before putting the seed the actor have to reassure himself that he drew the furrow on the flower bed to allow to plant to grow up , no only in order but also to allow the weeding of flower bed .

In the site of BWANDO

Young and old pygmy of BWANDO are very active to the farming project because, they say that this project allow them to fight against the malnutrition in the native households.

Central seed case of red onions

It’s there it`s about a familial garden at the first phase. As the pygmies have not the enough ground to cultivate, they are obliged to mix a lot of cultures on the same ground.

Thanks to the initiative phase, this mum profit to initiate his children to the culture and we observe that the garden is d and clean.

Garden without chimical fertilizer neither using of pesticides. It`s a Bio result.

The results of red onions realized by the pygmy thanks to the initiative of PPSDR, after appreciation result of this phase in each garden, this stage is to all culture.

With this initiation project of pygmy to the agriculture, the robbery rate attributed to pygmy in the fields of no pygmy in the intervention environment start to diminish because most of pygmy now practice the agriculture with the effort of PPSDR/OND. In the food chain security way, this project contributed to evaluable foods in the household pygmy. a) About the economic plan, the pygmy are able to go in the market and buy food to their choice from the money that they got to the sale of their agricultural products even though the force to buy is still weak. We say in this page that, we insist to pygmy to don`t sell all their harvesting products because the target is not only economic but specially social.

The agricultural project initiate to pygmy peoples inscribe in the mare-chair way because the target is to ensure the food chain security household.

The pygmy are able to do all things if they are well framed. The tomato, a culture demanding is controled by the pygmy. The great problem found in this first phase is the smallness of garden in all the families pygmy, misleading the slight production in phase I. 2. The second phase of the agricultural project with pygmy intervene after the evaluation of phase I. It consist to widen more the vision about the production rate. So, this second phase lead the culture in the community fields by implication of all the inhabitants of site. The target of this phase is to make the pygmy understand that, more the field is big, more the production will be high. The difficulty that PPSDR join in this second phase is to pay and renew the locative guarantee of community field to all site framed. It`s an obstacle hard to PPSDR until now where there is no financing made from o if is not only with the little contribution found of different members and voluntaries.

The communiy field with community works in the second phase.

The works are in teamwork in all site.

The works in team stimulate the community implication. Here, at familial gardens, the project chase the activities in the fields more big than gardens with hope to produce much because the encouragement is also much.

The vision become vast to this 2nd phase.

This image was taken in one of community field pygmy localized in the mountain site of KAMASHULI of Idjwi island to the harvest. Some pygmy of the site among them the site`s chief Mr Bienvenu in red t-shirt and the framer pygmy of PPSDR Mr BAHIDIKA BALEKE in hat are supervising the harvest activities in the site.

Sample of white aubergine garden made by pygmy at South Idjwi

In general manner, the first initiative of the white aubergine culture with the pygmy knew the problem since the central seed cases. In serviral sites, the rate of seed case was very weak. But let us say that, to some of plantule resisted in different sites adaped to the land of Idjwi and at the end of february we can assist to the first harvest. Après évaluation de cette deuxième phase qui vise l’amélioration du rendement agricole, la troisième phase se fixe l’idée de la pérennisation des activités. 3. In the third phase of the project, the activities chase in agricultural mutual in all sites and integrate three parts: the social integration, perennization of activiies and blossoming of pygmy peoples. Contrary to others phases before, to this stage, PPSDR ask to pygmy to associate their freinds no pygmy in the work teams with the target thatthese last may reinforce or encourage the pygmy if tthey seem tired. But also, to integrate others persons no pygmy in their team, this constitute a way toward the social integration and the blossoming of pygmy in the social economic plan. To the Idjwi island, the project is already at the third phase butPour l’île d’Ijdwi, le projet est déjà à cette troisième phase mais c’est le manque des champs qui handicape et perturbe le cycle du projet d’après la politique de PPSDR. Pour bien pérenniser les activités à cette dernière phase, PPSDR sollicites des Fonds auprès des bailleurs intéressés pour acheter des champs aux pygmées afin que les activités aillent sans obstacles.

In the distribution activity of seed improved to cabbages, aubergine,red onions and tomato to different responsibles of sites. Thanks to the collaboration with AHD asbl, PPSDR could get some seeds of FAO in the year 2017.

community field by the pygmy under the initiative of PPSDR

To speak about the agricultural mutual means that, the team have to make a roll of works in the field of each member with a little ristourn given back to the manager of group. That ristourn constitute the economy of group to the buying of seeds and to ensure the social mutual assistances.

Thanks to agricultural mutuals, the production is the same in the field pygmy and field bantu.
