One of the best practice of the  sustainable land management is as  follows the sustainable land management model, the model includes;
 Participatory land use planning at village level:  these best practice includes, involvement of communities in land use planning.
the other best practice is also; establishment of  responsible committee  at every village;
the committee comprises of;   Forestry committee; range land management
Farm land committee;water and irrigation committee. Regular   training is given to the committee  members and are working closely with the with extension agents at village level.
the other best practice is also applied research is also given  at field level.

وصف موجز للبيئة الطبيعية ضمن الموقع المحدد.

  The project area consists predominantly  of gently rounded hills interspersed with relatively
   flat- bottomed valleys. The altitude ranges between  2280- 2540 meter above sea sea level.
the soils are predominantly cambisols; some with luvic properties: partly associated  with lithosols( leptosols  on ridges or with fluvisols in valley floods; loamy soils  with high gravel content and low nutrient status
The climate  in the study area is semi- arid . As in  most parts of Eritrea, the rainfall pattern is sporadic and rainfall variability  is  high both temporary and spatially.  The rainfall  regime is bimodal, with the main rainy season  (summer) lasting from the end  of June until September.
the mean annul temperature 18.4 degree centigrade.|

الظروف الاجتماعية والاقتصادية السائدة للسكان الذين يقطنون الموقع و/أو قريبًا منه

The main income source of the project area is agriculture, mainly cereal crops, livestock and    irrigation, however casual work and trading  also  part of the income of the community in the project area.  |
Demographic data in the area shows  that land use pressure  in the area is very high  and holding per house hold are very small. One house hold  has an access to as  tittle  as 0.86 hectare of land for the crop cultivation. Of which an average of 60% is of poor fertility.
most of the households in the area live in poverty: in wealth ranking carried out in 1999 more than 80% of the farmers were ranked as poor  or very poor. Although off-farm activities are becoming increasingly important, the majority of the farmers depend on subsistence agriculture.

 Yes, we can say it is the best practice. |

المشكلات الرئيسية التي تمت معالجتها من خلال أفضل الممارسات

-Addressing land degradation;  One of the big  component of the  project is catchment    rehabilitation   such as hillside terracing, check dams  and and other  biological. The cumulative effect  of this  activities  is  to protect soil and water degradation.|Deforestation, especially in the Central highland  is in the pick point, to avert this  problem, afforestation and reforestation  in the marginal land  is one of the main challenges   addressed by the  best practice. |Based on the land tenure system of the government,the project is allocated a forest land  in the marginal land,this ensures the rehabilitation of vegetation cover of the project area.

Role of the each stakeholders;
-Local government-  the  role of the local government  is to  mobilizing  and coordinating the communities  form the project design to  the project implementation.
-Communities;
The role of communities(villages) is to contribute  in project design, and implementation of the project
Ministry of agriculture  plays a great role  in  the project design, monitoring, and evaluation. The  leading role of the  project was done by  the technical expertise of the ministry  by providing the technical assistance from the grass root  to  the higher level.
The role of the National Union of Eritrean  Youth and Women  is also  in  awareness  raising  of  communities in the project area and implementation of the project  in the schools and homesteads.

صف الآثار على المكان (التأثيران الرئيسيان حسب الفئة)

Integrated Planning  was introduced at village level, incentive and disincentive  was  set to promote sustainable land management technics  in the project area.|
The Project is at its early stage, therefore, it  is  too early to mention of the impacts of the project|
Integrated approach of sustainable  land management is introduced, this gives rise to raise the socio -cultural level of the community at the grass root level. |

صف الأثرين الرئيسيين خارج الموقع (أي التي لا تحدث في الموقع ولكن في المناطق المحيطة)

land use planning  and classification techniques was disseminated to the surrounding villages.
The catchment and  individual  tree plating  techniques  is disseminated to the off- site of the project.
    Increasing of water recharging capacity of the down stream  can be also described as an impacts of the  project in the off- site projects

الأثر على التنوع البيولوجي والتغير المناخي

اشرح الأسباب:

the long run  target of the Sustainable Land Management  project (SLM) is to make  a positive impacts  on climate change mitigation measure, and therefore the project is expected to play a  big role to reverse the project area by intervention of tree planting and biological and  physical measures. |
Right now the life of the project is only one year and it too early to  evaluate about the project impact especially  on biodiversity and climate change. However; the  long run impact on climate change and biodiversity can be evaluated positively.

Introduction of micro-credit  on  horticulture users  can be considered  one of the best practice in the  project.|The incentive and disincentive system set  both by the agricultural  and forest and rangeland committee is gives rise to efficiently and properly utilization of resources.| Raise of income level of the communities by involving of tree planting and irrigation practices.

المتعلقة بالجوانب الفنية

the Establishment of water use committee  at the committee, gives rise to  efficiently utilization of water resources in the project area.
| The establishment of  agricultural land  committee  at the village level also monitors and controls the efficient utilization of the agricultural land  by each individual.  | Forest and range land  Committee: these group  manages the forest and range land in harmony,incentive and disincentive is also set  by these group. These system is rewarding and penalize of  proper utilization of forest resources.
