Short Description:

Overall goal


This two-year project is the second phase of the Sustainable Resource Management Program in the North Gondar Zone (SRMP-NG) of the Amhara National Regional State in the North of Ethiopia, one of the poorest areas in the country.


Based achievements of previous ADA-funded projects in North Gondar, in particular on the first phase of the SRMP-NG (2008-2011), this integrated intervention continues to link extension, agricultural infrastructure development, training/education as well as research.


The overall objective is to contribute to sustainable rural development and improvement of food security in North Gondar.


The intervention contributes to the overall objectives of the Ethiopian Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP).


The purpose of the program is to increase income of households in selected Woredas of the North Gondar Zone.


Result areas are grouped in three major core areas:


1. Natural Resources Management (Integrated Watershed Development, Rural Land Administration, Tourism and Park Management)

2. Livelihoods Improvement (Crop Development, Marketing/Entrepreneurship & Livelihood Option, Livestock Development)

3. Capacity Development (CD) and Program Management (CD, Gender & Poverty, Knowledge Management & Communication, Planning/M&E)


Examples for concrete results under these core and result areas:

- soil conservation practiced according to watershed management guidelines

- organic farming, agroforestry and irrigation technologies accepted and practiced by farmers

- people hold land certificates on surveyed and mapped plots

- communities earn money from tourism, orcharding, crafts etc

- improved livestock marketing, new crops/varieties


Steering committees consisting of various stakeholders operate at regional, zonal and Woreda levels. The overall program coordination is the responsibility of a Program Coordination Unit (PCU).


Activities are planned, implemented and monitored by the benefiting communities and supported by the responsible Woreda staff.

  • Donor/ source of funding: The ADA is not only implementing projects and programmes of the Austrian Development Cooperation , but also projects funded from other sources and donors such as
    • AKF - Foreign Disaster Fund of the Austrian federal government
    • BMLFUW - Federal Ministry for Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water
    • EU - Funds of the European Commission
    • Others - various other donors are listed in ADA’s annual business report.
  • Type of Aid – Aid modalities: classifies transfers from the donor to the first recipient of funds such as budget support, core contributions and pooled programmes and funds to CSOs and multilateral organisations, project-type interventions, experts and other technical assistance, scholarships and student costs in donor countries, debt relief, administrative costs and other in-donor expenditures.
  • Purpose/ sector code: classifies the specific area of the recipient’s economic or social structure, funded by a bilateral contribution.
  • Tied/Untied: Untied aid is defined as loans and grants whose proceeds are fully and freely available to finance procurement from all OECD countries and substantially all developing countries. Transactions are considered tied unless the donor has, at the time of the aid offer, clearly specified a range of countries eligible for procurement which meets the tests for “untied” aid.
