THE INTERNATIONAL NETWORK FOR BAMBOO AND
RATTANLIVELIHOOD DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMMEDeveloping Livelihoods with Bamboo
and Rattan
2
THE INTERNATIONAL NETWORK FOR BAMBOO AND
RATTANINBARs Mission
  • To improve the well being of bamboo and
    rattan producers and users throughout the world,
    and to promote their cultivation and use

3
LIVELIHOODS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME at INBAR
  • The reduction of poverty using bamboo and rattan
    in pilot rural development programmes.
  • The collation and dissemination of information on
    bamboo and rattan.
  • The development of the bamboo and rattan sectors
    through innovation and the establishment of
    supportive frameworks (the enabling
    environment).

  • National level study of the bamboo / rattan
    sector
  • First, gather all information we can on bamboo or
    rattan resources, use, markets, etc in that
    country, from already known information sources.
  • Also include more general data, such as poverty
    and gender issues in the country, other
    development projects, then look at...

7
The production- to- consumption system
  • The chain of activities involved in the
    transformation of bamboo and rattan from raw
    material to sold commodity, and all the
    transformations involved in-between.
  • The system includes all aspects of the direct
    physical transformations as well as the social,
    political and economic environment in which these
    changes take place.

8
  • Studying the production to consumption system
    allows the identification of constraints and
    opportunitiesin the system.
  • These are then used to develop recommendations
    for improving the efficiency of the
    production-to-consumption system.
  • These recommendations can then form the basis of
    development project activities.

9
  • INBAR has done many PCS studies in the past
    (always using in-country partners to do the
    work), and we use them to identify development
    opportunities.
  • IFAD funding allows us to do so in four locations
  • The aim is to test and trial bamboo and rattan
    for development, and to produce models for their
    successful use.
  • Governments and NGOs could then take these up and
    replicate them, to increase the effect to
    regional or national level.

Relative importance of different elements in
three of our Action Research Projects
  • From Left to right on each graph
  • Resources
  • Harvest
  • Small Industries
  • Large Industries
  • Housing
  • Market
  • Stimulation (promotion of bamboo and rattan)
  • Policy and the enabling environment

ECUADOR
  • Bamboo resources
  • Ecuador has many species of bamboo, but by far
    the most important is Guadua angustifolia.
  • 1997 figures
  • 25, 000 ha of Guadua stands, 93 of which are in
    stand sizes less than 0.5ha. Sounds like a lot,
    but...

13
2000 estimateUp to 50 of total Guadua area has
been lost due to
  • 1) Overharvesting. In the coastal zone of
    Ecuador, Guadua is exploited for construction,
    banana poles and for export to Peru as raw poles
    (called Cana de Guayaquil).
  • 2) Replacement by more lucrative crops. In some
    areas there is little use for bamboo and stands
    are often replaced by pasture or banana
    plantations.

14
ECUADOR
  • People and poverty
  • 13 million, of which 50 live below the poverty
    line (one US Dollar per day).
  • Approximately 1/3 of people earn their livings
    from agriculture (also 1/3 Industry, 1/3
    Services).
  • Strong cultural associations with bamboo - these
    stretch back to 3500BC, and include housing from
    2000 years ago, ritual wailing posts, and a
    wide range of modern uses. See Jorge Morans book
    for more information.

15
ECUADOR
  • Bamboo Opportunities
  • Severe floods of 1998 highlighted the role of
    bamboo in watershed and riverbank protection, and
    the role of bamboo in providing cheap housing,
    bridges and electricity poles.
  • Cultivation and management of new Guadua stands
    is being adopted by the private sector, although
    long-term planning and supervision is lacking. Of
    course, this benefits only the entrepreneurs who
    own the farms.

16
ECUADOR
  • Hogar de Cristo
  • The Christian charity Vivendas Hogar de Cristo
    has provided cheap bamboo/wood houses to the poor
    of Guayaquil and the coastal region for 30 years.
  • Hogar de Cristo recognises that as one of the
    major users of bamboo in the region, it has a
    responsibility to practice sustainable harvesting
    and use.

17
ECUADOR
  • The project
  • So, INBARs project will aim to develop and test
    models of sustainable development of Guadua
    management and use by poor farmers by
  • Establishment and sustainable management of
    Guadua stands on their land.
  • Harvesting, preservation and first processing of
    bamboo by the farmers to add value.
  • Development of bamboo products - housing,
    furniture and handicrafts.

18
ECUADOR
  • Part one
  • Establishment of project base site at the Hogar
    de Cristo plantation for
  • Conducting studies into suitable cultivation and
    management methods and systems for Guadua.
  • Training the trainers in cultivation and
    processing techniques.
  • Demonstration site for buildings construction.
  • Improving bamboo machinery and developing a
    demonstration bamboo preservation unit .

19
ECUADOR
  • Part two
  • Management and planting of bamboos on farmers
    land in the Santa Domingo region of Colombia,
    primary processing activities, and product
    development.
  • This is being done in conjunction with the NGO
    CEDERENA and is being co-funded by the
    Canada-Ecuador Fund for Development to the tune
    of an extra US 350, 000.

GHANA
  • The situation
  • A Production- to-Consumption system study of the
    rattan sector was conducted in 1999 and 2000
    which identified some problems in that sector.
  • The project developed, with the considerable
    enthusiasm of people like David Coleman and
    strong support from the government, into a
    six-location, bamboo and rattan, multifaceted
    programme, but still with the emphasis on
    validating technologies.
  • It is presently being further developed by INBARs
    in-country representative.

24
GHANA
  • Now we work with CARE International on a project
    to develop small businesses based on bamboo
    processing.
  • We have a pipeline project on developing earlier
    rattan producing businesses under consideration.
  • We have a pipeline project on developing bamboo
    cultivation in the Upper East for river bank
    stabilising and for income generating activities.

Northeast INDIA
  • INBARs involvement so far
  • Sericulture sector study
  • Rama as consultant to CBTC
  • Rama organising State policy workshops
  • Marketing study
  • Mizoram mission
  • Tripura mission
  • Housing workshop
  • Three Action Research Projects

27
Northeast INDIA
  • Bamboo and Rattan resources
  • Vast amount of bamboo resources with over 65 of
    Indias species in that region.
  • Main useful species includeMelocanna baccifera
  • Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, giganteus, hookeri,
    sikkimensis and strictus.
  • Bambusa vulgaris, tulda bambos and khasiana.
  • Significant rattan resources in each State except
    Mizoram.

28
Northeast INDIA
  • People resources
  • Ethnically very diverse with many, protected,
    local tribes.
  • Significant cultural associations with bamboo and
    cane - they are used in many aspects of everyday
    life, including agriculture,
  • Poverty is rife, but there are few opportunities
    for reducing it.

29
Northeast INDIA
  • Natural resources problems
  • Much of the Melocanna baccifera (Muli) population
    is expected to flower in a few years time.
  • Slash and burn agriculture means much land is
    lost each year due to erosion, food insecurity is
    rife and Muli is encroaching into areas it did
    not grow before - and is regarded as a weed.
  • Harvesting methods of existing bamboo stands are
    highly unsustainable.

30
Northeast INDIA
  • People problems
  • Central government has done little to help the
    region out of poverty until very recently.
  • Resistance to central government rule sometimes
    boils over into violence.
  • Poverty breeds poverty - without initial startup
    resources, infrastructure or help people have no
    means of helping themselves out of poverty.
  • Previous government systems of handouts have
    created significant inertia amongst the people.

31
Northeast INDIA
  • Whats being done?
  • Cane and Bamboo Technological Upgradation and
    Networking Centre.
  • Small UNDP project on bamboo handicrafts.
  • Small UNDP project on ELIMINATING bamboo and
    replacing it with more suitable crops (!)
  • Policy workshops in NE India.

32
Pilot projects - INDIA
  • Three Action Research sites, one each in Manipur,
    Tripura and Uttaranchal.
  • Trialling of pilot development activities.
  • Development of the enabling environment.
  • Monitoring and evaluation.

33
INDIA
  • Manipur. Activities held in Tamenglong district,
    which has considerable bamboo resources and is
    heavily forrested - cofunding from state and
    national Governments and UNIDO.
  • Tripura. Activities focus on West Tripura, where
    a limited amount of bamboo processing already
    occurs. The IAY housing scheme requires bamboo
    housing. Cofunding as above.
  • Uttaranchal. Activities/options being evaluated.
    Design centre operational. Cofunding expected as
    above.

34
Northeast INDIA
  • Pilot development activities will include, in
    each location
  • Nurseries and plantation management activities.
  • Networking the district into proper regional and
    national communication networks.
  • Developing community bamboo/rattan processing
    businesses.
  • Promoting sustainable growth through support for
    the enabling environment.

35
Northeast INDIA
  • Enabling environment activities will often be
    relevant to the broader Northeast and include
  • Documentation, monitoring and evaluation of the
    sector in each location.
  • Development of support institutions.
  • Awareness raising and capacity building.
  • Information gathering and dissemination,
    extension and networking.
  • Local market and policy evaluation and
    development.
  • Infrastructure development.

36
Northeast INDIA
  • Funding
  • 50, 000 for each site from our IFAD budget.
  • 150, 000 for each site from State governments.
  • 600, 000 for each site from National government.
  • 200, 000 for all sites from the Northeast
    Council.
  • Some activities may be funded by UNIDO via the
    CBTC.
  • So each site should have over 800, 000 and the
    total value of these activities will be over
    2.5m.
