About
Overview:The core objective of the Joint Programme (JP) was to enhance the policy environment to plan and execute pastoralist related climate-change adaptation and mitigation measures at federal, regional and district levels, as well as to develop pilot initiatives to enable the pastoral communities develop capacity to manage climate change (CC) risks and shocks in the six target districts. The JP targeted 32,160 pastoral community members as direct beneficiaries from the 17 most vulnerable pastoral Kebeles (villages). The JP also focused on empowering women in the decision making process of the community. It was reported that as a result the lives of pastoral women in JP areas were changing for the better. Women had formed their own cooperatives, and were engaging in a range of income-generating activities, which helped to reduce inequality and increase their own independence. Under Outcome 1, the JP identified and analyzed climate change and related risks/vulnerabilities to help pastoral communities understand the extent of immediate and long-term impact of climate change. It helped to identify alternative resilience measures, and policy gaps in the existing development framework. It supported the government to develop cross sectoral national, regional and Wereda (district) action plansand prepared a toolkit with different adaptation technologies. The JP also supported the installation of a Climate Action Registry Information System, and helped to increase public awareness through tool kits and guidelines for CC adaptation and mitigation options. Under Outcome 2 the JP worked with parliamentarians, civil servants and selected community leaders to assess and fill existing capacity gaps to plan and manage CC adaptation and resource-based conflicts. Local pastoralist CC response coordination mechanisms were established, information packages on CC mitigation and adaptation were produced, and six district user friendly materials on adaptation, early warning and response mechanisms were produced and presented in six districts. Planned results associated with Outcome 3 focused on generation of baseline data for the communities regarding water resources and mechanisms for improving feed resources and livestock productivity, and improved access to functional water schemes. Integrated rangeland management practices were promoted for better livelihoods and coping mechanisms. In addition, the JP constructed 23 cisterns, enclosed 327 hectares of degraded land for restoration and cleared 1,499 hectares of bush encroachment. Six nurseries were established and equipped, with quality seedlings produced and distributed. 192 veterinary staff and 190 Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWS) were trained and 35 Livestock Marketing Cooperatives were established. The JP also helped establish a community climate fund and alternative income generating activities were identified or designed to be implemented by both men and women of the pastoralist communities.
