 * Feed the Future Ethiopia Land Governance activity supports pastoral communities to get communal land titling and to use their land based on participatory land use plans. Community land governance entities managed the use of land by enforcing bylaws approved by community members. This ensures sustainable landscape helping to exercise climate smart agriculture, protect the environment and improve agriculture productivity.


 * USAID’s Resilience in Pastoral Areas activities increases climate resilient growth in Ethiopia’s lowlands by promoting livelihood diversification. The activity also improves natural resource management, livestock and crop productivity, local use of weather information, and access to weather-based livestock insurance products.


 * USAID’s Development Food Security activities improve rangeland and watershed management. This includes the restoration of degraded communal lands. The activity also supports communities to use land management techniques, such as terracing, moisture conservation, and rainwater harvesting, to promote a more sustainable ecosystem.


 * Feed the Future Ethiopia Value Chain activity promotes climate-smart agricultural practices and technologies. The activity also increases access to improved agricultural inputs that contribute to soil and water conservation, and increases access/availability of drought-resistant seeds.


 * USAID’s Health, Ecosystems, and Agriculture for Resilient, Thriving Societies program invests in sustainable conservation of threatened landscapes and the well-being and prosperity of communities that rely on those landscapes. By working with local communities, USAID community-led conservation efforts that promote biodiversity and local development. USAID.GOV
