Purpose Climate change has become one of the most important development challenges worldwide. It affects various sectors, with agriculture vulnerable. In Ethiopia, climate impacts are exacerbated due to economy’s heavy dependence on agriculture. The Ethiopian Government started implement its climate-resilient green economy (CRGE) strategy and reduce CO 2 emissions. Therefore, purpose this study is examine impact emission agricultural productivity household welfare....
Nature-based solutions (NbS) leverage the power of ecosystems and biodiversity to address societal challenges. NbS for addressing water security challenges in cities are widely recognized accelerating sustainability delivering multiple co-benefits. However, peer-reviewed studies implementation guidance have primarily focused on Global North, necessitating adaptation South. While could provide environmental socio-economic benefits, specific adaptations required planning, designing,...
Attempts to structurally transform segments of the agri-food system inevitably involve trade-offs between priorities actors with different incentives, perspectives and values. Trade-offs are context-specific, reflecting socio-economic political realities. We investigate potential structured boundary objects facilitate exposing reconciling these within context multi-stakeholder social learning processes pastoral mixed crop-livestock communities in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia Tanzania. Building on...
Social influence affects individual decision-making on soil conservation. Understanding the emergent diffusion of collective conservation effort is relevant to natural resource management at river basin level. This study focuses effect subjective norms and action Soil Conservation Effort (SCE) in Lake Naivasha (Kenya) for period 1965–2010. A geographically-explicit Agent-Based Model (ABM) version CONSUMAT model was developed: CONSERVAT model. In our model, we have represented heterogeneity...
This study describes the mismatch between required knowledge and efforts by scientists stakeholders in Lake Naivasha basin, Kenya. In integrated water resources management (IWRM) suffers from absence of critically relevant knowledge. further presents a spatial assessment framework for supporting IWRM basin. resulted an ongoing debate studying basin's issues. It builds on jointly identified indicators sustainable governance, their interdependency, gaps. For basin this is first important step...
Demand for animal sourced food is predicted to double in the upcoming 20 years Sub-Saharan Africa. This simultaneously a big opportunity terms of poverty reduction and significant threat environment. The objective this paper present an approach co-create set viable acceptable development pathways livestock sector that maximizes benefits from increased production, exploits synergies between environment, while minimizing negative effects. It engages local stakeholders actors into...
A valuation scenario was designed using a contingent-valuation approach and presented to decision makers in business firms Kenya's Lake Naivasha basin test how applicable water fund might be as potential financing mechanism for payment water-related ecosystem services scheme. The findings indicate that measuring firm's willingness invest could help determine whether firm would engage with other stakeholders pool their investments services. Linking the institutional decision-making behaviour...
Abstract Ecosystem‐based fisheries management (EBFM) is an important complement to existing approaches maintain ecosystem health and function; translate goals aspirations for sustainability into operational objectives, the preferences of fishing communities should be considered successful implementation EBFM. This study analysed community alternative EBFM developments Lake Naivasha, Kenya, estimated willingness pay, using a choice experiment approach. Protection fish breeding grounds,...
Empirical assessment of relationships between land use and cover drinking water chemical treatment cost is lacking in developing countries. This study conducted to assess the impact forest non-forest on purification costs Ethiopia. A panel fixed effects regression model was applied analysed at watershed, upstream parts different buffer distances ranging from 2.5 30 kilometers. Findings indicated that both watershed level has a significant effect cost. Result showed contributes significantly...
Abstract South Sudan and Ethiopia, despite possessing many wetlands – some even having international importance, there has been limited attempts to value the ecosystem biodiversity services of wetlands. However, such valuation exercises are vital promote knowledge-based decision making proper management The Lower Baro systems is one in Nile Basin located both countries among with availability literature; let alone studies. This study is, hence, aimed at filling this gap applied Ecosystem...
