1. Addis Ababa 8-9 th November Gondar 13-14 November Catherine Pfeifer & Yenenesh Abebe

2. Improving resilience of rural livelihoods by using rainwater management as an entry point. N3:  raise awareness that solutions are context specific  Provide a tool for geographical targeting

3.  Participants understand the concept of integrated rainwater management and rainwater management strategies  Participants understand the concept of suitability and feasibility maps  Participant are able to map out rainwater management strategies of their choice with the Nile Goblet tool  Participants are able to feed their own maps to the Nile tool  Participants are able to organize a Nile training for their peers

4.  Competence based training ◦ Little formal teaching ◦ Lots lots lots of exercises : “discover the suitability mapping in your own speed” ◦ Learn how to learn on your own  Open source training => “open-source spirit” ◦ Testing a new tool (beta version) ◦ We learn together ◦ We keep track of error messages ◦ We help each other

5.  Review the concept of rainwater management at landscape scale  Discover the Nile-Goblet tool  Make suitability and feasibility maps

6. Two set of exercises that can be solved in :  ArcGIS = refresher of last year training  Grass = open source solution Please choose your software and get it installed during the break (from the CD). For ArcGIS request your free trial license on the esri website.

7.  A name tag  You should have a ◦ Nile-Goblet manual ◦ ArcGIS manual ◦ A CD  If you are from outside Addis/Gondar ◦ a reimbursement form

8.  What is rainwater management?  Examples of practices  What is a the farm and the landscape scale?  What is integrated watershed management?

9. Zone\Land use Main objective (examples) CroplandGrasslandDegraded land Uplands Increase infiltration Agro-forestry, forestry Increase the quantity and quality of fodder for livestock over-sowing, limiting animal movement Rehabilitate degraded land half-moon, forestry Midlands Control erosion, maintain soil moisture Soil and water conservation Agro-forestry Conservation agriculture LowlandsMore efficient use of surface or shallow water Wells, river diversion

11.  Introducing socio-economic constraints

12.  Small area estimation ◦ Econometric model for adoption based on household data ◦ Extrapolation based on the Ethiopian Rural Atlas ◦ Model with and without spatial trend.

15.  An open source GIS tool that can produce the ◦ Suitability maps ◦ Feasibility maps ◦ Strategy maps Without prior GIS knowledge  Flexible tool ◦ Can be adjusted for any practice/technology ◦ For any location in the world  versions ◦ For the Nile basin (large scale) ◦ For watersheds (small scale) in development
