Prosopis, Parthenium and beyond - Elements for an integrated strategy of IAS control in the Afar region Wondimagegne Chekol and Irmfried Neumann Paper presented at the Regional Conference on Managing Prosopis Juliflora for better (agro-)pastoral Livelihoods in the Horn of Africa. May 1 - May 2, 2014, Addis Ababa 1

Prosopis came not alone More than 35 IAS in Ethiopia Prosopis control to be part of an integrated IAS-strategy IAS-control: a method integrated into modern sustainable landuse et resource conservation 2

Important invasive species in Afar region Parthenium hysterophorus Acacia nubica 3

Distribution of P. hysterophorus 4 Map by Dr. Kassahun Zewdie, EIAR: PP-Presentation Biological Control of Parthenium hysterophorus in Ethiopia: An overview

Parthenium hysterophorus damages Dry-season aspect. Photos: Nov. 2013, close to Chiffra Overgrown irrigation plot By the roadside 5

Control measures of P. hysterophorus – On farmland (irrigated) – Irrigation canals – On rangeland – Road sides – Settlement areas 6

Implementation of control measures In Afar only marginal activities of Parthenium control: – Some on irrigated land – Very little on range land 7

Common frame of control for all IAS Benefits: synergies in on the level of Observation of spreading, information/capacity development, policy dev., institutional strengthening, etc. Resulting in stronger institutional setting, faster response, less cost, etc. 9

Elements of an integrated strategy Integration Levels:  Policy definition  Institutional mandates  Socio-cultural compatibility of measures  Cooperation of actors  Landscape ecology  Economic (Profitability of land-use)  Research and Technology Development  Information & Capacity Development 10

Focus: communities / land-users Challenge: continuity of control measures How to put land-users in the driver seat Socio-cultural compatibility of measures including gender How to create stimulus for land-users to invest in profitable land-use. 11

Focus: Total area coverage Ambition to cover the total area of the Afar National Regional State But with site- and context specific measures Adapting measures to communites, to land- use, to natural conditions, etc. ? 12

Focus: Integrating IAS control IAS be integrated into a larger package for the strengthening Livelihoods: – Land use planning – Modernising agriculture and range land-use – Accompany ongoing transformation of livelihood strategies 13

Focus: Institutional development How to create a fitting institutional set-up between national – regional and local level? Clear institutional mandates for all levels 14

What to build on? Sound base to build an integrated strategy on: o Existing research (Removing barriers to invasive plant management in ET, o Experiences gained in programmes o Existing vocational programmes o Policy paper of Afar o Willingness of partners 15
