Overview of Oromia Forested Landscape Program (OFLP), Oromia REDD+ Program Brief overview Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere are being altered by Human activities, thus
causing global climate change. These activities, intensified after the Industrial Revolution at
the end of the eighteenth century result from the use of natural resources such as fossil fuel
burning, deforestation and other land use changes. The atmospheric concentration of carbon
dioxide (CO2) has reached levels significantly higher than in the last 650 thousand years.
Since 2000, the growth rate in CO2 concentration is increasing more rapidly than in the
previous decades. Similar trends have been observed for methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O),
and other greenhouse gases.
Consequently, several changes in the climate have been registered. The average global
surface temperature has increased by 0.2°C per decade in the past 30 years. Eleven of the
twelve warmest years ever registered by instruments since 1850 occurred between 1995 and
2006 with the exception of 1996, world level. Alterations in the water cycle have also been
observed. Changes will probably continue to happen even if greenhouse gas concentrations
stabilize, due to the system’s thermal inertia and to the long period necessary for returning to
a lower equilibrium.
Therefore, in order to mitigate these climate problems, the world has tried to put a mechanism
that help reduce its prolonged negative impact. Among those investigated means of climate
change reduction, environmental protection, particularly forest management is unquestionable
action that should not be given time. Accordingly, great attention is given to how forest
conservation and utilization should be carried out in different parts of the world. Thus,
Ethiopia is also acting forest conservation and utilization to reduce carbon emission that
contribute to greenhouse gas concentrations.
Currently the Government of Ethiopia is preparing and implementing different strategies to
reverse the trend of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and has got project funds from
international agencies working mainly on reducing deforestation and forest degradation and
at the same time transforming lives of rural livelihoods. The Oromia National Regional State
Forested Landscape Program (OFLP) has been identified as the first large-scale jurisdictional
REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation, Plus the role of
conservation, sustainable forest management and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in
developing countries) in this concern in which all Woredas in Oromia are incorporated as one
pilot under this Program.
The Program is programmatic umbrella and coordination platform for multi-sector, multi-
partner intervention on all forested landscapes and will encourage land-use choices that retain
forests for multiple purposes and optimize the productivity capacity of forest-surrounding
landscapes in Oromia. In order to promote such a transition into a sustainable and
economically viable land use sector, OFLP will foster equitable and sustainable low carbon
development through promoting a series of: (I) on-the-ground activities that address
deforestation, reduce land-use based emissions, and enhance forest carbon stocks (enabling
investments); and (ii) state wide and local enhancements to institutions, incentives,
information, and safeguards management to scale up investment (enabling environment),
including coordinating and leveraging multiple REDD+-relevant interventions.
Objective/s
The objective of the training was to address following hub points.
2.1. To discuss on the level of pollution in the world and how to cope with it in future.
2.2. To discuss on the role of Ethiopia in pollution reduction through Carbon Reduction.
2.3. To discuss on Oromia Forested Landscape Program (OLFP), Oromia REDD+ Program
and how it is being implemented in Ethiopia as well as Oromia Regional State, at zonal
and Woreda Levels.
Training process/methods
The processes or methods used during this training were: 1st, Development Agents of Natural Resources Experts were selected from each Kebele based on the allocated budget for the training. 2nd, Technical Committee from EFCCA, Agriculture and Natural Resource, Rural Land Administration and Use, of Water, Minerals& Energy and Livestock and Fish Development offices were participated in the training. Entailing these two groups of experts, the training was held two consecutive days.

Results/output
The result achieved as indicator is that, good integration is created among aforementioned sectors to work in a coordinated way. Furthermore, Grievance Redressing Committee (GRMC) is mostly established at kebele level and the objective of REDD+ Program is well understood by the community through awareness creation role of the developmental agents who were trained from natural resource experts.
Result Contribution The result or output contributes a lot towards accomplishment of the objective of Oromia REDD+ Program.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Present additional observations:During the training session and the consultation made, we observed that there was good wellness of different sectors as well as individuals and community interest to work for the achievement the program in contributing their part as much as they could. But in order to uniformly address the aim of REDD+ Program there was limitations like; budget, logistics and follow-up of accountable person from head office and experience sharing or on time evaluation of the program implementation process.
