Duguna Fango and Damot Weyde Assisted Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration for Sustainable Land Management and Livelihood Improvement Project

About this project
The “Duguna Fango and Damot Weyde Assisted Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration for Sustainable Land Management and Livelihood Improvement Project” aims to regenerate and reforest degraded land in the Duguna Fango and Damot Weyde Woredas of South Ethiopia Regional State of Ethiopia. The area has undergone extensive environmental degradation in the past few decades due to overgrazing, farmland and settlement expansion, timber logging, firewood collection, charcoal production, and forest fire. The project will apply the assisted ‘Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR)’ technique to reforest degraded lands in the target areas. FMNR is a low-cost, sustainable, and simple practice that communities can use to restore their land, increase its productivity, and build resilience within the community. FMNR is the systematic re-growth and management of trees from felled stumps, sprouting root systems or seeds remaining in the soils from cleared forests, or in woody thickets. FMNR is an empowering form of social forestry which gives individuals and communities both responsibility for care and nurture of naturally occurring woody vegetation and rewards from sustainable harvesting of wood and NTFP. A FMNR project ideally involves the entire community or landscape and is a practice that contributes to a range of desired development outcomes such as land restoration, sustainable agricultural production systems, livelihood and community development and climate mitigation and adaptation.
