To achieve the study purposes, we used a participative approach which is an iterative and dynamic process. This approach contains various interdependent stages and sequences.
The first stage consists in characterizing the community. So we have:
- Collected and analyzed the secondary data; 
- Presented and explained the project to the community;

- Elaborated the transect and carried out the production systems typology;
- Established the resources and the toponymic districts maps by using the GPS;
- Prepared, tested and adapted the survey tools;
- Conducted the investigation with 155 families and analyzed the data;
-Brought back and validated the investigation results with the population.

At the second phase, we diagnosed and analyzed the problems with the community using the visualization technique. Three target groups (adults, women and young person) identified the constraints.
In the third phase, some workshops were conducted to study the Feasibility of The third stage proceeded in several workshops with the various actors. The objective is tosolutions proposed and to program the future actions with the community.
At the last stage, the research team and the community analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the local institutions. The finality is that these organizations can themselves take care of their CDP.
The achieved results are very significant. We summarize them as follows:
·   Elaboration of the general community map and the thematic maps.
·   Detailed description of the toponymic districts.
·   Production systems typology: irrigated system (olive-tree, leguminous and fodder crops), cereal system and rangelands (15.500 ha).
·   Socio-economic characterization
·   The participative diagnosis of constraints and causes analysis with young, women and men. The participants gathered these problems in four categories:

1.      Basic infrastructures;

2.      Agriculture, rangelands and livestock;

3.      Social and associative activities ;

4.      Income sources diversification.

For each category, the participants formulated solutions for which specialists matters examined technical and financial feasibility.

To make these solutions concrete, we organized a participative planning and programming workshop which helped to make out:

1.      The multi-annual development plan,

2.      The long-term development map,

3.      And the annual budget program.
