Bio-physical and socio-economic benchmarks

This project aims to assess biophysical and socio-economic benchmarks in Ethiopian agriculture to develop effective intervention strategies. It evaluates soil degradation, vegetation diversity, water availability, feed sources, livestock productivity, and improved crop varieties. On the socio-economic front, it analyzes livelihood vulnerabilities, income sources, household structure, education, labor availability, and local cooperatives. Through participatory mapping, surveys, and stakeholder discussions, we seek to identify gaps and opportunities for scaling up best practices and fostering community knowledge exchange groups.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Bio-physical and socio-economic benchmarks

  2. What? Biophysical • soil degradation status and management • Vegetation cover and diversity (spatial distribution) • water availability(Irrigation, ponds, poatble water) • feed sources and availability • livestock resources and productivity • improved crop varieties (fodder, fruit, legume, vegetables, cereals) • Diversity and level of intensification • Existing infrastructure (FTC, road, market, telecommunication)

  3. What?.... Socioeconomic Bench marks • livelihood status (vulnerability, food security) • Income sources ( on farm and off farm) • house hold size and structure • educational status • availability of labour • cooperatives (saving and credit, consumer associations, multipurpose) and local institutions • level of ecological knowledge and innovativeness

  4. Why? • to design and introduce appropriate intervention options; • to identify gaps,barriers,opportunities and fill the gap; • scaling up and out of best local practices; • it contributes to RC3, 4, 5, 6 • for monitoring and evaluation

  5. How? • GIS • PRA • Participatory resource mapping • Survey • Key informant discussion and interview • secondary information • stakeholder analysis • AKT5 software • FEAST

  6. With whom??? • Regional research institutes /participate in the design, implementation and M and E of the project) • Local administration/ Community mobilization and political backstopping) • Bureau of Agriculture /secondary data • Livestock resource development and health agencies /Oromia and Amhara) • Cooperatives and microfinance institutions/facilitate access to credit • ILRI, ICRAF • Socio economic bench marks ICRAF/Biophysical characterisation and list of existing tech.

  7. Community knowledge exchange groups (CKEGs)

  8. What? • Identify, characterise, capacitate existing community institutions (formal and informal)- Gender and age based organisations; Development groups (men, women , youth); Farmers association community leaders and elders • Establish CKEGs as appropriate Farmers research extension groups community based breeding scheme (Oromia and South reg)

  9. Why? • to share and disseminate knowledge, skill lessons, opportunities and challenges • to plan intervention options • scaling up and out best bet indigenous and exogenous tec • to introduce demonstrate appropriate technologies • contribution to RC 3, 4, 5

  10. How? • Stakeholder surveys • Socioeconomic and biophysical bench marks from RC1 • field days • peer to peer visit • demonstration sites on selected farmers land and farming land scap • Audio and video • posters, .. • visit to successful sites • Radio and news paper; • exhibitions and expo • demonstrate new technologies • Ethiopian Agricultural Portal(EAP)

  11. With whom? • FTCs • Research centres • University • Schools • CGIAR (ICRAF, ILRI) • National partners (MoA, BoA, NGO and civic societies)  

  12. Africa is rising!!!
