Reducing land degradation through and for sustainable rural land use in the South Ethiopia Rift Valley
This
project aims at increasing capacities within Arba Minch University (Ethiopia)
to understand and address land degradation processes, including soil fertility
loss, sediment production by gullies and landslides and sediment delivery to
the lakes. Outcomes include PhD theses, an integrated geodatabase and a
meteo-hydrological monitoring network. The Elgo-Sile and Basso-Shafé catchments
are used as case study sites. Attention is given to integrate indigenous
practices and to develop outreach tools.
