If you will be teaching the "Crocodile" to a group, download and print these images. You will need to number these images as you print them; we will post numbered versions soon.

The manual was developed under the West African Pilot Pastoral Program (WAPPP), implemented from 1994 to 2002 in seven African Sahelian countries by the World Bank, with Norwegian co-financing. The program aimed at assessing the relevance to pastoral communities of West Africa of the holistic resource management model currently implemented in other parts of the world. This manual is the first one to be designed exclusively for analphabet pastoral communities. It has been developed taking advantage of the extensive work provided by people, such as Lyra Srinavasan, involved with participatory processes aimed at a genuine and effective empowerment of rural and urban communities. This skill development package includes a field manual of 290 pages and 372 supporting images, requiring around forty training hours of different members of the community, over one to seven weeks, according to the intensity of the training process.
