Theme 7-2: Capacity, Institutions and Innovations for Sustainable Development--Poster Sessions
Description
Working through a collaborative working partnership between the USAID Feed the Future Resilience in Pastoralist Areas (RiPA)1 program and Land Governance Activity (LGA)2 and selected technical partners, these new rangeland programs aim to build on significant breakthrough successes in rangeland management from their previous lowland programs3. These new lowlands pastoralist development programs have been purposely positioned by USAID to coordinate, collaborate and combine working activities focused on the continued improvement and strengthening of rangeland management systems in the lowlands of Ethiopia. In light of this positioning, it is proposed that the programs work together to build a comprehensive sustainable rangeland management system. This can be achieved by adopting a One System innovative approach, through the combining of existing institutional knowledge, skills, tools and approaches, to create a hybrid Sustainable Rangeland Management system. This will be done by the programs combining and merging the different rangeland management tools and approaches that have been developing to date. It is also recommended that the work draws on other rangeland management approaches that will compliment, further strengthen and make complete, a comprehensive sustainable rangeland management system.
