Inspiration from Yewol for all of us (ICRISAT Policy Brief 14)ICRISAT
How communities joined hands to replenish the ecosystem that belongs to them in Ethiopian highlands. Five years ago, communities in the dry highlands of the Yewol mountains found it difficult to grow even their staple crops. In the rainy season, rainwater gushed down the slopes eroding the soil. Free grazing of cattle and unreliable rain affected the productivity so much that crops began to dwindle along with their livestock. Migration was the only way out for some. Food shortage stalked the residents and it still is a reality for some. At a time when the people were struggling with the situation, a watershed initiative was started by concerned local researchers with the support of the government. The project brought in the needed change among communities to join hands and work together to replenish the dwindling resources of their homeland, Yewol, which in Amharic means for all of us.
