Synopsis (short abstract) This document provides information on the national context of dry forests and practical management guidelines adapted to the Ethiopian context. The goal is to fill the information gap, which can allow decision-makers to better understand the true value of dry forests at the national level and take appropriate action. Much of the literature on dry forests in Ethiopia is based on case studies in different parts of Ethiopia or focuses on particular commodities with economic importance. In this document, the authors have taken a national perspective by stitching together information from the scientific and grey literature, new analyses focusing on dry forests based on existing secondary data, and comments and suggestions from key informants at the federal level and participants in two workshops held in Addis Ababa and Assosa.

    This report presents the key findings, conclusions and recommendations of the terminal evaluation of the “Community-based Dryland Sustainable Forest Management Project” (GCP/GAM/031/GFF) funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The evaluation found that the project was, generally, satisfactorily implemented to achieve its objective to “reduce forest degradation in the northern part of the Gambia through the strengthening and expansion of community-forestry and implementation of sustainable forest management practices”. However, implementation faced many challenges/constraints including the death of the first Project Coordinator, the advent of COVID-19, and procurement and administrative delays which necessitated a no-cost extension of the project. The project has been satisfactorily implemented with positive outcomes, such as improved forest management and entrepreneurship knowledge and skills development of target communities for improved livelihoods.
