Background
Land degradation, population growth, climate change and stagnant technology threaten livelihoods and food security.

The majority of Ethiopians are dependent on agriculture as a source of livelihood.

EO4SD engages with 3 Projects in Ethiopia
• WB Sustainable land management project 2 (SLMP-2)• IFAD Participatory Small-scale Irrigation Development
Programme II (PASIDP II)• GEF/IFAD IAP Food Security child project Integrated Landscape
Management to Enhance Food Security and Ecosystem Resilience in Ethiopia
Overall goal: improve food security• Halt land degradation (SLM practices)• Mitigate climate risks• Improve resilience of food production systems• Enhance long-term sustainability

WB/SAWAP SLMP-2
Provide evidence-based M&E indicators for land degradation rehabilitation interventions:- Land cover and change- Vegetation dynamics (trends)- Biomass- Soil Erosion
Local stakeholder: M. of Agriculture and Natural Resources

Does the intervention have an impact?
Intervention
Long-term time series are required to reveal effective changes and trends,due to high inter-annual variability

Does the intervention have an impact?
The SLMP-2 project started with rehabilitation measures of degraded land in the below watershed in 2012.

IFAD PASIDP-II
EO4SD helps to answer these questions: Where should we invest in new small-scale irrigation
schemes (first screening)? How are existing schemes performing (optimisation)? Is rehabilitation of watersheds successful?
- Irrigation suitability- Roadless areas- Irrigation performance and timing- Vegetation dynamics
Local stakeholder: M. of Agriculture and Natural Resources
• Irrigation development & performance
• M&E Safeguards

Selecting the right sites for investments
Finding suitable areas for small scale irrigation schemes development. Example from Lake Tana Catchment
A first screening will bedone for selected AOIs forthe PASIDP-II project

Monitor irrigation management
Monitor productivity and optimise use of water resources
A similar monitoring system will be set op for PASIDP-II in a scheme in North Shewa

Collaboration and local capabilities
• May 2017: EO4SD introductory and requirements gathering visit
• July 2017: Consolidation meetings with SLMP and PASIDP and participation at the IAP-FS kick off meeting in Addis Ababa
• Regular exchange by phone and email• Direct interaction with local partners since the first meetings
Capabilities:• Some experience with EO already exists• Introduction of new Sentinel data is of major interest
• Cloud services offer new possibilities• Major interest in CB to build up local capacity
