Ensuring Sustainable Land Management in Selected Areas in Gedeo, Sidama, Gambela and Oromia Regions by Geoscientific Mapping.
Global map of Foreign development and humanitarian aid of the Czech Republic
Description: The project focuses on geoscientific mapping, analysis of trends in land cover and land use, and the production of 3 geoscientific maps at a scale of 1:100 000 for each region (Gedeo, Sidama, Gambella/Oromia). In a second phase, spatial and landscape plans will be drawn up proposing appropriate measures to ensure sustainable management of the landscape.

Detailed description: The development problem will be assessed in two Phases: I. Phase, will be dedicated to Geoscientific mapping and analysis of trends in land cover and land use, 3 sets of maps will be produced in scale 1: 100 000 (geology, hydrogeology pedology with geohazards) for all mapped area (Gedeo, Sidama a Gambela / Oromiya) maps of timed trends of development landcover a land use. In II. Phase, the landscape plans will be designed to suggest suitable steps for ensuring sustainable land management in the area. In total, 18 landscape plans in scale 1: 20,000 or 1: 10,000 will be produced for selected areas characterized by degrading processes in the landscape. Finally, the materials with recommendations will be handed over to the government structures accompanied by training and manuals on how to utilize them.
