ISFM+ & ASRP

The Integrated Soil Fertility Management Project (ISFM+) contributes to improving soil fertility, soil health and productivity in selected areas of Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR and Tigray regions. It operates in 60 woredas (districts) and has a duration until June 2023. The project promotes the integrated use of locally adapted and relevant ISFM technologies contributing to (a) increasing on-farm biomass production (b) reducing nutrient and biomass losses from the farming system and (c) improving the agronomic use efficiency of production inputs. The project aims at combining behavioral change communication strategies with farmer-acceptable and locally adapted soil fertility improvement technologies, including supply chain aspects for the sustainable supply of agricultural inputs.

The “Afar Soil Rehabilitation Project” (ASRP) contributes to a systemic rehabilitation of dry valleys and their productive use approach (DVRPU) jointly with its partners. The target group are mainly pastoralist communities whose livelihoods are increasingly at risk due to degrading natural resources and encroaching invasive plants. The changes in climate and environment are big challenges for the local population which lacks capacity and adaptation mechanisms to respond. Project introduced physical erosion control measures such as water spreading weirs (WSW) or drystone measures (DSM) reduce velocity of sporadic flash floods, which helps to arrest soil loss and accumulate soil moisture. In cooperation with the International Crops Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), the project has also piloted Flood-Based Farming systems on some of the sites.
