Institutionalizing the Gestion des Terroirs [GT] approach : a review of the issues and literature
This paper is a literature review that examines the 'Gestion de Terriors' (GT) participatory approach, focusing on its institutionalisation in the French-speaking Sahel region. GT, which evolved at the same time as other participatory research methods and methodologies, is concerned with the management of natural resources. It is employed where land tenure issues are undertaken in a participatory manner among the inhabitants of a territory or set of territories.
