Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation Ethiopian Highlands Project Technical report, 1 April 2013 – 30 September 2013 Submitted to: United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Contact Person: Dr Peter Thorne Project Coordinator December 2013 The Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING) program comprises three research-for-development projects supported by the United States Agency for International Development as part of the U.S. government’s Feed the Future (FtF) initiative. Through action research and development partnerships, Africa RISING will create opportunities for smallholder farm households to move out of hunger and poverty through sustainably intensified farming systems that improve food, nutrition, and income security, particularly for women and children, and conserve or enhance the natural resource base. The three projects are led by the International Livestock Research Institute (in the Ethiopian Highlands) and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (in West Africa and East and Southern Africa). The International Food Policy Research Institute leads an associated project on monitoring, evaluation, and impact assessment.

These included: SLATE (Sustainable Livelihoods Asset Evaluation). A training of trainers was organized from 1-5 April 2013 with the objectives of a) Familiarizing Africa RISING project sites team members and Nile Basin Development Challenge (NBDC) Innovation Platform (IP) facilitators with the SLATE tool, and b) Identifying household typologies based on the five livelihood assets (human, physical, social, natural and financial capitals) for some trial NBDC kebeles. Subsequently, the SLATE exercises were implemented across all eight Africa RISING kebeles and the data are now being analysed for basic community characterisations and typology extraction. PCA (Particpatory Community Analyses. PCAs were undertaken at the eight Africa RISING kebeles after a two-day training workshop held in Addis Ababa over the period 17-18 June. A number of possible interventions for the project to engage in were identified. These included the introduction of a number of improved sustainable crop and livestock management practices supported with training not only in production, utilisation and processing skills but also leadership, marketing and communication skills to encourage farmer-to-farmer learning and extension. Shortages of improved varieties of most crops indicate a need for encouraging community-based seed production. Indigenous Knowledge Acquisition and Interpretation. A training course in the use of the AKT5 indigenous knowledge software and approaches was convened at ILRI, Addis Ababa from 12 – 15 August 2013. This training was designed to support the implementation of the research on indigenous agro-ecological knowledge. Following the training, research teams implemented the process at the Africa RISING kebeles (to be reported in the next semi- annual report). Quantitative Data collection. In order to implement the ex ante impact assessment activities defined in the Africa RISING Research Framework, the project has implemented collection of quantitative household data at the project sites using the IMPACT Lite survey instrument. Project participants undertook training supported by ILRI from 26 – 30 August, 2013. Data collection is now on-going. In addition, a series of on-farm demonstrations of improved management practices for food and fodder crops (rainfed and irrigated) were implemented. The key objectives of these field activities were to Build trust & confidence between involved stakeholders. Demonstrate some “best bet” component technologies in terms of new crop varieties & fodder species; use of quality seed; improved crop management practices and production of off-season high value crops. Provide a platform for information exchange between farmers, researchers and extension staff to develop more focused and integrated R&D interventions for the coming Belg season. Provide a basis for future, system-oriented on-farm research approach, possibly leading to fully integrated on-farm research activities based on farmer interest and local development opportunities. Indications from these on-farm activities will also be reported in the next semi-annual report. 2 Introduction The Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING) program comprises three research-for-development projects supported by the United States Agency for International Development as part of the U.S. government’s Feed the Future initiative. Over a four year period to 2016, Africa RISING aims to contribute to Feed the Future goals of reducing hunger, poverty and under-nutrition by delivering high quality research outputs that are relevant to these goals. Through action research and development partnerships, Africa RISING will create opportunities for smallholder farm households to move out of hunger and poverty through sustainably intensified farming systems that improve food, nutrition, and income security, particularly for women and children, and conserve or enhance the natural resource base.

  • Starving Tigray
    Starving Tigray How Armed Conflict and Mass Atrocities Have Destroyed an Ethiopian Region’s Economy and Food System and Are Threatening Famine Foreword by Helen Clark April 6, 2021 ABOUT The World Peace Foundation, an operating foundation affiliated solely with the Fletcher School at Tufts University, aims to provide intellectual leadership on issues of peace, justice and security. We believe that innovative research and teaching are critical to the challenges of making peace around the world, and should go hand-in- hand with advocacy and practical engagement with the toughest issues. To respond to organized violence today, we not only need new instruments and tools—we need a new vision of peace. Our challenge is to reinvent peace. This report has benefited from the research, analysis and review of a number of individuals, most of whom preferred to remain anonymous. For that reason, we are attributing authorship solely to the World Peace Foundation. World Peace Foundation at the Fletcher School Tufts University 169 Holland Street, Suite 209 Somerville, MA 02144 ph: (617) 627-2255 worldpeacefoundation.org © 2021 by the World Peace Foundation. All rights reserved. Cover photo: A Tigrayan child at the refugee registration center near Kassala, Sudan Starving Tigray | I FOREWORD The calamitous humanitarian dimensions of the conflict in Tigray are becoming painfully clear. The international community must respond quickly and effectively now to save many hundreds of thou- sands of lives. The human tragedy which has unfolded in Tigray is a man-made disaster. Reports of mass atrocities there are heart breaking, as are those of starvation crimes.

  • Regreening of the Northern Ethiopian Mountains: Effects on Flooding and on Water Balance
    PATRICK VAN DAMME THE ROLE OF TREE DOMESTICATION IN GREEN MARKET PRODUCT VALUE CHAIN DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA afrika focus — Volume 31, Nr. 2, 2018 — pp. 129-147 REGREENING OF THE NORTHERN ETHIOPIAN MOUNTAINS: EFFECTS ON FLOODING AND ON WATER BALANCE Tesfaalem G. Asfaha (1,2), Michiel De Meyere (2), Amaury Frankl (2), Mitiku Haile (3), Jan Nyssen (2) (1) Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Mekelle University, Ethiopia (2) Department of Geography, Ghent University, Belgium (3) Department of Land Resources Management and Environmental Protection, Mekelle University, Ethiopia The hydro-geomorphology of mountain catchments is mainly determined by vegetation cover. This study was carried out to analyse the impact of vegetation cover dynamics on flooding and water balance in 11 steep (0.27-0.65 m m-1) catchments of the western Rift Valley escarpment of Northern Ethiopia, an area that experienced severe deforestation and degradation until the first half of the 1980s and considerable reforestation thereafter. Land cover change analysis was carried out using aerial photos (1936,1965 and 1986) and Google Earth imaging (2005 and 2014). Peak discharge heights of 332 events and the median diameter of the 10 coarsest bedload particles (Max10) moved in each event in three rainy seasons (2012-2014) were monitored. The result indicates a strong re- duction in flooding (R2 = 0.85, P<0.01) and bedload sediment supply (R2 = 0.58, P<0.05) with increas- ing vegetation cover. Overall, this study demonstrates that in reforesting steep tropical mountain catchments, magnitude of flooding, water balance and bedload movement is strongly determined by vegetation cover dynamics.

  • Humanitarian Access SCORE Report: Tigray, Ethiopia
    Humanitarian Access SCORE Report: Tigray, Ethiopia Survey on the Coverage, Operational Reach, and Effectiveness of Humanitarian Aid Humanitarian Access SCORE Report: Tigray, Ethiopia Survey on the Coverage, Operational Reach, and Effectiveness of Humanitarian Aid Abby Stoddard, Paul Harvey, Monica Czwarno, and Meriah-Jo Breckenridge April 2021 www.humanitarianoutcomes.org www.aidworkersecurity.org SCORE reports Under the CORE research programme, supported by USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID/BHA), Humanitarian Outcomes is studying how aid is delivered in access-constrained conflict areas. In partnership with GeoPoll, the project conducts remote telephone surveys of crisis-affected people on their perceptions of the effectiveness of the aid response and the access challenges in their areas. Combined with key informant interviews with humanitarian responders and other contextual research, the survey results help to identify the humanitarian providers and practices that have achieved the greatest presence and coverage in difficult environments. This SCORE report features findings from a survey of 614 people in the Tigray region of Ethiopia (49% men, 51% women) conducted between 17 February and 8 March 2021. Live operators for GeoPoll conducted the survey in the Amharic and Tigrinya languages. Humanitarian Outcomes researchers also conducted anonymous interviews with 25 key informants among the humanitarian organisations attempting to reach affected people in Tigray, as well as donor governments. Not all humanitarian organisations working in Tigray agreed to be named in this report. More information on the SCORE methodology, including the survey instrument and an interactive dashboard of response data, is available at www.humanitarianoutcomes.org/projects/core. Summary The conflict that broke out in Ethiopia’s Tigray region in November 2020 has sparked a massive humanitarian crisis to which the aid community has been unable to adequately respond.
