The ANRS• Famine/Poverty and Development Challenges
– Accelerated Natural Resource degradation
– Absence of the use of new and appropriate technologies
– Weak basic service delivery institutional arrangements
– Poor/weak rural market infrastructure
– Limited on- and off-farm income generating activities
• 47/105 woredas are food insecure - 40% of the ANRS population is chronically food
insecure, and
- 70% of children under five in the food insecure woredas are stunted.

ANRS Relevant Policy Thrusts
• National poverty reduction strategy– “ The medium- to long-term target is to reduce
the absolute size of the food insecure rural population and make them exit from food aid”
(FDRE, 2002:v)
• Regional food security program– Increase agricultural production and productivity
as well as income of rural households

Technologies recom’d and disseminated
• Six barley, five potato, four bread wheat, and one groundnut varieties with their production packages were identified and recommended in the pilot woredas.
• 30 quintals of certified seed of three performance proven Striga resistant sorghum varieties were introduced from INTSORMIL / Purdue University and distributed to hundreds of farmers.

Watershed Management and Development• A multi-disciplinary regional Integrated
Watershed Development Management Team (IWDMT) formed to support and oversee policy reforms, pilot activities, and community development programs in the pilot watersheds established
• Community Watershed Management Organizations (CWMOs) established and empowered in the two pilot watersheds

Watershed cont’d
• Holistic and integrated watershed management plans have been developed with the full participation of communities and stakeholders and their implementation is under progress
• Area closures created in the two pilot watersheds have become social closures with no armed guards or fences, but only due to the agreement reached among the community members to self-police and exclude animals and to avoid cutting of vegetation.
• Used R2D food resources to implement activities
