1 Feras Ziadat, Mira Haddad, Safa Mazahreh, Tarik Benabdelouahab, Samar Attaher, Mohammed Karrou, Theib Oweis, Tarek Kandakji Similarity and suitability analysis to assist the out-scaling of sustainable land and water management options in WANA WLI 6th Annual Regional Coordination Meeting November, 2014, Amman, Jordan

Motivation for out-scaling … Technologies are being developed and tested in the Benchmark sites to improve productivity and livelihood Examples: Rainfed Agro-ecosystem: supplemental irrigation Rangeland Agro-ecosystem: water harvesting Irrigated Agro-ecosystem: raised bed techniques Out-scaling of proven technologies and best bet practices (SLM) to other larger areas 2

3 However, adoption rate by farmers is still un-satisfactory Technical options to suit various biophysical conditions are known and available Adoption by farmers Out-scaling of these technologies to enhance adoption and uptake by farmers Decision makers need guidance to target potential areas for out-scaling

How to out-scale ? Similarity analysis: identifying similar areas with potential for successful implementation of SLM practices 4 Define key expert criteria for each Benchmark Identify data needed Produce similarity maps at regional level Verification of similarity maps using detailed data at national level Revise the criteria and similarity maps Provide maps for decision-making process (Research and Development

5 Data collection and analysis at regional level Rainfall Land use Soil Depth Soil Type / texture

6 Similarity map for three agro-ecosystems Regional level Coarse maps at regional level & verification at country level

7 Similarity maps for three agro-ecosystems National level Use same criteria at regional level but with more detailed data

8 Compare similarity results at national level with regional level for fine-tunning Produce final similarity maps for out-scaling of the technologies

9 Detailed Suitability maps for similar areas Use detailed data within country, but Out-scalable to other countries with similar biophysical conditions

10 Concluding remarks Similarity and suitability analysis are promising tools to facilitate out-scaling of sustainable land and water management options Provide means to facilitate within and among countries collaboration to provide regional coverage of data and information needed for sustainable land management

11 Future … Communicate the similarity and suitability analyses and proven technologies with decision makers to mainstream in the overall out-scaling and development process
