Environmental management and protection, like the cross-cutting approach, is an obligation for everyone; even more so at a time when, according to the future of our planet is in jeopardy. The aim of this study is, on the one hand, to list the measures taken and the policies, but also and above all the tools put in place for environmental management, both by the competent authorities (environmental service managers and educators) and by households and some community groups, and to identify the interests of households in protecting the environment. On the other hand, it will shed light on the promotion of environmental education in schools. It is therefore the responses obtained from the various categories that have enabled us, by triangulating the data, to respond to the concern linked to environmental considerations as a cross-cutting approach in the daily lives of households. In short, we found irregularities with regard to environmental management and protection in our study area: no clearly defined environmental protection policy, no tools for implementing environmental management policies, no support for environmental management initiatives, and a low level of environmental knowledge and protection among learners. The same applies to households. In the light of the results obtained, we have proposed a tool adapted to the environmental situation in the study area.
Author Keywords: environmental management and protection, environmental education, environmental policy, households.

Abstract
Environmental management and protection, like the cross-cutting approach, is an obligation for everyone; even more so at a time when, according to the future of our planet is in jeopardy. The aim of this study is, on the one hand, to list the measures taken and the policies, but also and above all the tools put in place for environmental management, both by the competent authorities (environmental service managers and educators) and by households and some community groups, and to identify the interests of households in protecting the environment. On the other hand, it will shed light on the promotion of environmental education in schools. It is therefore the responses obtained from the various categories that have enabled us, by triangulating the data, to respond to the concern linked to environmental considerations as a cross-cutting approach in the daily lives of households. In short, we found irregularities with regard to environmental management and protection in our study area: no clearly defined environmental protection policy, no tools for implementing environmental management policies, no support for environmental management initiatives, and a low level of environmental knowledge and protection among learners. The same applies to households. In the light of the results obtained, we have proposed a tool adapted to the environmental situation in the study area.

Abstract: (french)
La gestion et la protection de l’environnement comme l’approche transversale est une obligation pour tous; bien plus en cette période où pour les avertis, l’avenir de notre planète serait hypothéqué. L’objectif de cette étude est d’une part, celui de répertorier les mesures prises ainsi que les politiques mais aussi et surtout les outils mis en place pour la gestion de l’environnement tant auprès des autorités compétentes (responsables des services environnementaux et éducationnels) qu’auprès des ménages et quelques groupes communautaires, de relever les intérêts à la protection de l’environnement par les ménages. D’autre part, elle éclairera la promotion de l’éducation environnementale dans les écoles. Ce sont donc les réponses obtenues auprès des différentes catégories qui nous ont permis par triangulation des données, de répondre à la préoccupation liée aux considérations de l’environnement en tant qu’approche transversale dans le vécu quotidien des ménages. En bref, nous avons trouvé des irrégularités quant en ce qui concerne la gestion et la protection de l’environnement dans notre espace d’étude: pas de politique de protection de l’environnement clairement définie, pas d’outils de mise en application des politiques de gestion de l’environnement, pas de soutiens aux initiatives de gestion environnementale, les apprenants présentent un niveau bas dans la connaissance et la protection de l’environnement. De même pour les ménages. Au vu de résultats obtenus, nous avons proposé un outil adapté à la situation environnementale en cours dans le milieu de la présente étude.
Author Keywords: gestion et protection de l’environnement, éducation environnementale, politique environnementale, ménages.
