Description

Aim of the initiative: The project promotes the food security and health of the population in the intervention areas by improving access to safe sources of drinking water, promoting improved hygiene, disseminating sustainable agricultural practices that combine long-term productivity gains with increased resilience of the sector, and supporting the country's digital transition efforts by implementing the use of water management and monitoring software. The partners for the implementation of the project were chosen on the basis of their accumulated experience in the areas of intervention. By exchanging the know-how of each partner, it will be possible to maximise the effectiveness and efficiency of the project in all areas of intervention. Place of intervention: The country of implementation of the initiative is Ethiopia. Two areas of intervention are included: the first includes the Woredas of Geze Gofa, Demba Gofa, Zala and Oyida in the Gofa Zone, within the Southern Ethiopia Region, while the second includes the Woredas of Cheha and Ezha in the Guraghe Zone of the Central Ethiopia Region. Planned activities: To address the identified needs, interventions are planned in three main areas. In order to reduce the spread of water-borne diseases related to the low percentage of population access to water from safe sources (OSS 3.9), the construction or maintenance of drinking water supply systems is envisaged (OSS 6.1 - OECD purpose code 14031). In order to increase long-term sustainability, all interventions will be accompanied by training sessions of local water scheme management and maintenance committees. This will be coupled with training sessions on hygiene and health (OSS 6.2 - OECD purpose code 14032) especially for women. Gran parte della popolazione rurale delle aree di intervento vive in condizioni di insicurezza alimentare e basa la sua sussistenza sull’agricoltura, e ciò la espone a pesanti rischi in caso di crisi climatiche o shock nelle catene di approvvigionamento degli input agricoli. Pertanto, si prevedono interventi di formazione dei contadini sull’adozione di pratiche agricole sostenibili (OSS 2.4 – OCSE purpose code 31120) che possano aumentare la produttività (OSS 2.3) e la resilienza delle comunità al fine di ridurre l’insicurezza alimentare (OSS 2.1). Si prevede, inoltre, la creazione di banche dei semi per preservare e diffondere le varietà locali di semenze, maggiormente Allegato 2_Modello Documento Unico di Progetto_DUP_Bando Promossi 2023 8 resilienti in caso di anomalie climatiche (OSS 2.5). Una particolare attenzione sarà dedicata alle donne che lavorano nell’agricoltura, tramite la creazione o il sostegno di cooperative femminili. A large part of the rural population in the intervention areas live in food-insecure conditions and base their livelihoods on agriculture, which exposes them to severe risks in the event of climate crises or shocks in agricultural input supply chains. Therefore, interventions are foreseen to train farmers in the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices (OSS 2.4 - OECD purpose code 31120) that can increase productivity (OSS 2.3) and community resilience in order to reduce food insecurity (OSS 2.1). It is also envisaged to establish seed banks to preserve and disseminate local seed varieties that are more resilient in the event of climatic anomalies (OSS 2.5). Special attention will be paid to women working in agriculture, through the creation or support of women's cooperatives. The last thematic area of intervention aims to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of drinking water management (OSS 6.4) through capacity building (OSS 6.a - OECD purpose code 14010). In the areas selected for the project, there is a high incidence of non-functioning water schemes, water offices have little knowledge of their territory and limited capacity to intervene. To this end, the project proposes the introduction of GIS software for the census and monitoring of water resources (OSS read more close
