This folder contains EfD projects in Ethiopia.

ethiopia | Agriculture Forestry Common property forest management and private tree growing in the Ethiopian highlands This project aims to achieve two objectives: to identify the determinants of common property forest management (CPFM) and estimate the effects of CPFM on the planting of trees on-farm in the Ethiopian Highlands.

ethiopia | Agriculture Policy design Land registration and certification in Ethiopia The main objective of this project is to identify and analyze effects of land certification on land-related investments and rural land markets.

ethiopia | Agriculture Forestry Biomass fuel consumption and dung use as fertilizer: some evidence from rural households in the Amhara region of Ethiopia The two core objectives of the project are: 1. To examine the factors that determine woody biomass and dung consumption as fuel sources. 2. To examine the factors that determine farmers’ adoption and intensity of use of dung as fertilizer.

ethiopia | Policy design Determinants of household fuel choice in major cities in Ethiopia This project attempts to examine the determinants of fuel choice. Both the demand for specific fuel types consumed by households and the determinants of the choice of fuel-mix such as solid vs non-solid fuels.

ethiopia | Agriculture Policy design Economic Sector Work on Poverty and Land Degradation in Ethiopia Poverty and Land Degradation in Ethiopia: How to Reverse the Spiral?

ethiopia | Agriculture Policy design The Cost Benefit Framework for pro –SLM decision making in Sub-Saharan Africa This project is an initiative by TerrAfrica at the World Bank to provide analytical contributions to the mobilization of additional financial resources for Sustainable Land Management in Sub-Saharan Africa.

ethiopia | Agriculture Forestry Public Safety Nets and Crowding Out Effects: Tree Growing and Livestock in Highland Ethiopia Food insecurity is a common problem in Ethiopia because of natural (e.g. drought, flood) and idiosyncratic risks (e.g. illness). To reduce the welfare impact of risks, households use different risk coping strategies such as diversification of crops, different crop management practices, and informal risk sharing mechanisms.

ethiopia | Agriculture Land management technology adoption: production risk, risk aversion and crop productivity in Ethiopia: A comparison study The agriculture sector in Ethiopia is characterized by low external input use and low productivity. It is also characterized by high nutrient depletion and soil erosion that limit farmers’ ability to increase agricultural production and reduce poverty and food insecurity.

ethiopia | Forestry Household forest values under varying management regimes in rural Ethiopia The broad objective of this project is to examine the role of forests/trees in the livelihoods of households at varying forest management regimes.

eeu sweden ethiopia | Forestry Household forest values under varying management regimes in rural Ethiopia Ethiopia’s forest cover is estimated at less than 4% of the total land area of about 1 million km2. The consequences of deforestation and forest degradation include reduced agricultural production and decreased household welfare. The Ethiopian government promulgated a forest proclamation and approved the first forest policy in 2007. In its recent comprehensive plan referred to as Plan for Accelerated and Sustained Development to End Poverty (PASDEP), the government also indicated its plan to increase forest cover from about 4% to 9% over a period of five years. The reality on the ground suggests that there is continuing deforestation and mismanagement of existing forests. The government has acknowledged in its forestry laws and regulations that depletion of these resources have resulted in reduced agricultural productivity and subsequently reduced quality of life of the rural people. Moreover, frequent restructuring of the main government body responsible for natural resources in general and forestry in particular meant different levels of attention paid to the sector with its implications for staffing and continuity of programs.
