2.7 Type of Approach
- project/ programme based
2.8 Main aims/ objectives of the Approach
The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (Foreage development, income generating planting on bunds.)
The main objectives of the approach are to reduce soil erosion, improve soil fertility and increase productivity.
The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Soil erosion, low soil fertility, low productivity and food insecurity.
2.9 Conditions enabling or hindering implementation of the Technology/ Technologies applied under the Approach
social/ cultural/ religious norms and values
- hindering
low participation of women due to social and cultural problem
Treatment through the SLM Approach: to encourage women to participat on the activitiy.
availability/ access to financial resources and services
- hindering
lack of operational cost
Treatment through the SLM Approach: to support adequate finance
legal framework (land tenure, land and water use rights)
- hindering
The existing land ownership, land use rights / water rights moderately hindered the approach implementation Because of the land is under the state ownrship
knowledge about SLM, access to technical support
- hindering
lack of technical knoweledge
Treatment through the SLM Approach: training and providing technical support
3. Participation and roles of stakeholders involved
3.1 Stakeholders involved in the Approach and their roles
- local land users/ local communities
Wereda Agri. And Rural Development Office and Community of the project area
Working land users were mainly men. Because of cultural limitation. In this approach proirity is given for the poorest of the poors and they are the main beneficeries.
- national government (planners, decision-makers)
MERET Project
- international organization
If several stakeholders were involved, indicate lead agency:
The basic principle and steps of the SWC approach have been adopted from internatial specialists and adopted to local conditions by national, regional and woreda specialists.
3.2 Involvement of local land users/ local communities in the different phases of the Approach
Involvement of local land users/ local communities | Specify who was involved and describe activities | |
---|---|---|
initiation/ motivation | interactive | Mainly:public meetings; partly: interviews/questionnaires; The involvement of land uses in public meetings is important to change their attitudes. |
planning | interactive | rapid/participatory rural appraisal; In this stage the community plann SWC activities. |
implementation | external support | Mainly: responsibility for major steps; partly: responsibility for minor steps; SWC activities are implemented in areas that are affected highly by erosion. |
monitoring/ evaluation | interactive | Mainly: measurements/observations; partly: reporting; Monitoring omit evaluation is done on the basis of work norm and technical specification of the SWC technology. |
Research | none |
3.4 Decision-making on the selection of SLM Technology/ Technologies
Specify who decided on the selection of the Technology/ Technologies to be implemented:
- mainly land users, supported by SLM specialists
Explain:
The land users choose the proper SWC technology based on the problem identified by the planning team and the SWC specialists give explanation on the use of the technology.
Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by mainly by land users supported by SLM specialists. Coordination and technical support of the SWC specialist is needed.
4. Technical support, capacity building, and knowledge management
4.1 Capacity building/ training
Was training provided to land users/ other stakeholders?
Ja
Specify who was trained:
- land users
- SWC specialists (1), extensionists/trainers(2)
Form of training:
- on-the-job
- public meetings
Subjects covered:
Training on SWC techniques and management.
4.2 Advisory service
Do land users have access to an advisory service?
Ja
Describe/ comments:
Name of method used for advisory service: Convantional; 1) Advisory service was carried out through: government's existing extension system; Extension staff: mainly government employees 2) Target groups for extension: land users; Activities: Implement SWC activities
Awarness creation is given to the land users to practice SWC technology for the control of soil erosion and generat income.
4.3 Institution strengthening (organizational development)
Have institutions been established or strengthened through the Approach?
- no
