Gestion participative, capabilités et résilience dans les forêts classées de Côte d’Ivoire

Abstract

In the field of sustainable management of natural resources, participatory approach has emerged over the last twenty years as an alternative management between the state and the market. The efficiency of this approach, however, depends on the involvement of all stakeholders, including local communities. What are the determinants of this involvement? What are the terms? Systems analysis of agro-forestry in Côte d'Ivoire has highlighted the importance of capabilities variables, such as income and social capital. The perspective of social sustainability involves a contextualization that allows to take into account threshold effects which may characterize a process of resilience or not. Variables of capabilities can therefore serve as levers of involvement of local communities in the implementation of participatory forestry projects.
