Project Description: The goal of this project is to enhance the adaptive capacity of communities and local institutions in drought-prone regions of the Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia to climate- induced water stress. The project aims to develop a pilot site for adaptation to climate through facilitating communities and their institutions and triggering initial impetus to employ integrated water resource use and management interventions, and that also maximize multifunctionality of ecosystems services, through collective action and social learning.

Study site: Kabe watershed, Were Ilu woreda, South Wollo, Ethiopia
