2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

Integrated watershed management is implementation of SWC measures, forage development and crop production activitiesthrough increasing production and productivity per unit area of land on suistainable manner.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

Aims / objectives: Overall purpose of the approach is to attain food security at household level and then contribute for the anticipated national goals. Specifically the objectives are improving food security of targeted area land users by capacitating community members with incentive support application of SWC activities. Promoting and implementing integrated watershed management practice promote catchment based natural resources management and enhance forage development from matreials used for bund stablization.

Methods: Methods of participatory planning and implementation approach is using local institutions (groups), local leaders community development committee) and existing infrastructure/facilities.

Stages of implementation: Monitoring and evaluation.

Role of stakeholders: SOS Sahel--financinig are evaluating the programmee, Bureau of agriculture and rural development--follow up, monitoring and evaluation, Office of agricultue and rural development--coordinating, planning, and implimenting the project activities with the community and Community/land users--they do the actual implementation phase and evaluation the activities.

Expliquez:

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by mainly by land users supported by SLM specialists. Land users report the severity of land degradation in their area and seek assistance. The SWC specialist advice and support the land users to be organized in groups in a sub-watershed bases to implement SWC activities by train the Community Development Committee (CDC). The CDC and other member land users decide what, why, where, when to do SWC activities in their watershed.

4.4 Suivi et évaluation

Le suivi et l'évaluation font ils partie de l'Approche? :

Oui

Commentaires:

bio-physical aspects were regular monitored through observations
technical aspects were regular monitored through measurements

economic / production aspects were ad hoc monitored through measurements

area treated aspects were regular monitored through observations

no. of land users involved aspects were monitored through observations

Management of Approach aspects were monitored

There were many changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation: Monthly based monitoring and evaluation initiate to improve the performance & use to address problem area to be solved in both stakeholders by doing so many project weredas improve their performance.

Si non ou incertain, spécifiez et commentez:

1. Extension service is very crucial to support technical aspects of SWC activities and coordination of watershed group members to follow integrated watershed management approach in a participatory planning and implementation method. 2.

6.4 Points forts/ avantages de l'Approche

Points forts/ avantages/ possibilités du point de vue de l'exploitant des terres
IWM approach very important for the farmer by prodiving basic skill in all activities (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Thraining the farmers)
The introduced Desho grass become cash source by selling the planting material & grass (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: By creating awareness to all farmers.)
Hand tool provision help them in facilitating working condition (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: By circulating 30% down payment share.)
Sheep credition provision (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: with 10% insurance down payment and transfer to first lamb to the next poor.)

Points forts/ avantages/ possibilités du point de vue du compilateur ou d'une autre personne ressource clé
Desho grass introjduction is a new technology which has multipurpose use. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Extension work should be strong until they know & see the advantage & Adopt.)
Integrate all the agricultural and natural resource management activities in the catchment. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Awareness creation work has to be following in a continous way)
Introduction of Desho grass become income generating means by selling & forage source. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: By introducing the grass to new areas & supply planting material of the grass for the first time to the resource poors.)

6.5 Faiblesses/ inconvénients de l'Approche et moyens de les surmonter

Faiblesses/ inconvénients/ risques du point de vue de l’exploitant des terres	Comment peuvent-ils être surmontés?
other.	Doing as stated on the agreement & credit contruct.
Failure of payment of 10% insurance and acting accoringly.	enforcing to pay the stack 10% of insurance.
Mis use of down payment by CDC and Development Agent	close follow and facilitating the payment procedure for the debted CDC.

Faiblesses/ inconvénients/ risques du point de vue du compilateur ou d'une autre personne ressource clé	Comment peuvent-ils être surmontés?
Lack of close follow up of the activities may stak or hindered over all activities.	Office of Agriculture & Natural Resource should work hard extension to sustain the approach & function normally.
failure of supply of desho grass planting material for those who start SWC activities for the first time.	These could be solved by coordinating NGOs other project to help desho grass purchasing
using open access grazing of farmland destroy the grass & constructed bund.	using controlled grassing &/or stall feeding
