Hagos, FitsumHaileslassie, Amare[Institutional issues and arrangements in irrigation management (Water Users Association - WUA). [Abstract only].]Institutional issues and arrangements in irrigation management (Water Users Association - WUA). [Abstract only].

In transboundary river basins, like the Blue Nile, conflicts over the use of water resources are growing and recent advances in sustainable resource management recognizes the need for approaches that coordinate activities of people dependent on a common resource-base to realize sustainability and...


Alemayehu, B.Hagos, FitsumHaileslassie, AmareMapedza, EveristoAwulachew, Seleshi BekelePeden, Donald G.Tafesse, T.[Prospect of payments for environmental services in the Blue Nile Basin: examples from Koga and Gumera watersheds, Ethiopia]Prospect of payments for environmental services in the Blue Nile Basin: examples from Koga and Gumera watersheds, Ethiopia

Ethiopia is an agrarian society in a land of drought and floods. Agricultural production, which is the source of livelihood for eight out of ten Ethiopians, is extremely vulnerable to climatic conditions. The causes of rural poverty are many including wide fluctuations in agricultural production ...


Namara, Regassa E.Makombe, GodswillHagos, FitsumAwulachew, Seleshi Bekele[Rural poverty and inequality in Ethiopia: does access to small-scale irrigation make a difference?]Rural poverty and inequality in Ethiopia: does access to small-scale irrigation make a difference?

Recently, there has been very little irrigation development in Sub-Saharan Africa. The main reasons cited for this lack of interest in developing irrigation in Sub-Saharan Africa is that irrigation projects are expensive and perform poorly compared to projects from other regions. However, when cl...

The purpose of the undertaken study was to evaluate the impact that the modern Hare river irrigation scheme had on household food security as well as on lifestyle changes of the population in the study site Chano Chalba. This was done on the basis of the FAO food security pillars access to food, ...

The study examined the extent and nature of market oriented production in irrigated compared to rainfed systems in Ethiopia. By doing so the paper identifies the role of irrigation in market-oriented production, while at the same time highlighting the main constraints to market oriented developme...

The Blue Nile Basin (Abay in Ethiopia) covers wide range landscapes and climatic zones in Ethiopia and Sudan. Different agricultural production systems, in the basin, evolved in response to those diverse landscapes and climatic zones, and the attendant human decision dynamics that responds to cha...

West and East Africa experience high vari- ability of rainfall that is expected to increase with climate change. This results in fluctuations in water availability for food production and other socioeconomic activities. Water harvesting and storage can mitigate the adverse effects of rainfall var...
