Introduction
Agriculture is the dominant economy; accounting for
about 50% of the GDP, 90% of the total export earnings,
over 80% of employment, and 70% of the raw materials.
Land degradation (e.g.soil erosion and nutrient
depletion) has been major national agenda and remains
important issue in Ethiopia
![Page 4: Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia - Africa … · Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia ... watershed development ... Some pictorial facts from Amhara Region . ANRS](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012401/5b1654f17f8b9a726d8b5397/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
This is because LD impacts
Land productivity
Environmental services
Food security and the quality of life
The country has highly diverse farming system and agro-
ecology due to high variation in altitude
Diverse altitude (120m below sea level- 4600+m above
see level)
Diverse climate (desert-humid highland)
Diverse soils

• Land degradation (e.g. soil erosion) is increasing
•
Why Watershed management is important?

Such type of degraded lands is common in Ethiopia

Water quality is decliningMajor part of the eroded sediment ended up in streams, rivers,
reservoirs and lakes

• Therefore, huge investments have been made to reverse land degradation in Ethiopia since 1980’s in:
– Research activities
– Development initiatives

Research Initiatives (RI) in watershed management
![Page 20: Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia - Africa … · Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia ... watershed development ... Some pictorial facts from Amhara Region . ANRS](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012401/5b1654f17f8b9a726d8b5397/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
RI(1): SCRP
• The first initiative in watershed management research
started in 1981 with the establishment of Soil
Conservation Research Project (SCRP)
• Following the 1974 drought
• Funded by Ethiopian and Swiss Governments
• Coordinated by the MoA and Bern University
![Page 21: Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia - Africa … · Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia ... watershed development ... Some pictorial facts from Amhara Region . ANRS](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012401/5b1654f17f8b9a726d8b5397/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
RI(1): SCRP7 research sites including Afdeyu(now in Eritrea)
Most of these watersheds are located in high rainfall highlands
![Page 22: Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia - Africa … · Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia ... watershed development ... Some pictorial facts from Amhara Region . ANRS](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012401/5b1654f17f8b9a726d8b5397/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
RI(1): SCRP• Main focuses were
– Rehabilitation of degraded landscapes using physical soil and water conservation (SWC) structures
• Based on small watersheds and there was lack of sectoral/system integration
• The effectiveness of SWC structures were based on
– Soil loss
– Runoff
– Crop yield
![Page 23: Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia - Africa … · Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia ... watershed development ... Some pictorial facts from Amhara Region . ANRS](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012401/5b1654f17f8b9a726d8b5397/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
RI (2): JVP• The establishment of the Joint Vertisol project
(JVP) in 1986 was the second initiative in watershed management research
• Multiple institutions
such as IAR (now EIAR), ILCA
(ILRI), AUA (HU), MoA, ICRISAT
were involved.
The research was conducted
Ginchi and Cheffee
Donssa watersheds
![Page 24: Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia - Africa … · Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia ... watershed development ... Some pictorial facts from Amhara Region . ANRS](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012401/5b1654f17f8b9a726d8b5397/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
RI(2): JVP• More comprehensive and much better integrated
than SCRP
– Drainage technologies (BBM)
– Water harvesting (from drained water)
– Soil erosion control studies
– Development of trees, crop, livestock and feed technologies suitable for Vertisols
– Gender inclusion
– Capacity building
• The research under the JVP was implemented until 2002.

• EIAR (the then EARO) initiated the establishment of model watersheds
(+)
• African Highlands Initiative (AHI)
• Establishment of watershed management research program in the NARS (2008/9)
Focused on development of approaches and methods for WS management
Much more integrated than JVP

Phase 1: 1974-1990
• WSM at national level was started in 1980s
• Top-down approach
• Mostly hillside terrace and exclosureprogrammes on degraded lands – Through Food-For-Work (FFW)
– Mass mobilization
• Focused on food-insecure areas
• In this period huge investment was done mainly in physical SWC measures
![Page 47: Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia - Africa … · Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia ... watershed development ... Some pictorial facts from Amhara Region .

Phase 2 : 1991-1995
• With the change in government in 1991
Limited focus for NRM
Several exclosures were deforested
Terraces were dismantled in some places
![Page 48: Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia - Africa … · Watershed Management Initiatives in Ethiopia ... watershed development ... Some pictorial facts from Amhara Region .

Regeneration phase (3): 1996-2004
• Initiation by regional governments
• Change in approach
– No more FFW program
– MERET project (Managing Environmental Resources for Enabling to Transitions to better livelihoods)
• Watershed management has focused beyond SWC
• High regional disparities
–Amhara and Tigray regions were much better

2005-to date• Highly coordinated at national and regional levels
• Use of several guidelines and frameworks
Guideline for community based participatory watershed development
Guidelines for PSNP - PW in Pastoral Areas
Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF)
Ethiopian Strategic Investment Framework for Sustainable Land Management (ESIFSLM)
• Focused on food insecure and secure areas, pastoral and agro-pastoral areas

• SLMP (sustainable land management program- I and II 6 regions; 137 woredas, 137 critical watersheds
• Mass mobilization Free labour (on average 20 days per year) 1.5 BL USD/year
Use of multiples Projects such as

2005-to date• Entitlement of
exclosures
• Multiple interventions
• Integration of income generation activities
honey production,
Fattening using zero grazing from exclosure

Challenges
• Free grazing of livestock
• Managing multidisciplinary team and IP
• Lack of trained manpower
• PIWM is very costly
• Misconception of PIWM
for example:
- PIWM = SWC
- PIWM=Water harvesting

Lessons learned
Need for baseline data
The impacts of most watershed projects are hardly evaluated mainly because of lack of clear data before the implementation of the project

Lessons learned
Managing hydrological and administrative boundaries
• There is a mismatch between watershed and administrative (political) boundaries
• Delineations for all watersheds were carried out using hybrid (balancing hydrological and socio-economic) criteria

Working with local communities starting from problem identification is crucial
Lessons learned….
• Problem identification and prioritization should be done using different social and interest groups, • Mixed methodologies (qualitative and quantitative) are crucial to identify and prioritize watershed problems.

Lessons learned…
Use of linked technologies
• Linked technologies were adopted to ensure compatibility between what farmers were doing and what land management is demanding.
e.g. Potato seed productionwas linked withcompost technology. Satisfies farmers demand for food security and improve the fertility of the soil in the watershed.

Use of empirical research
Empirical research can facilitate attitude change by making visible biophysical processes (such as soil and water losses) that are otherwise difficult to observe by farmers.
A comparative run-off experiment conducted on plots with and without bunds demonstrated farmers how soil bunds trap soil and water from plots.

Conclusion and recommendation
• Watershed management is not simple approach
• Multiple approaches and intervention are
required for the success of watershed
management
• It is necessary to link watershed
management interventions with
international and regional initiatives
