The Sustainable Land Use Forum (SLUF) is a local Ethiopian non-governmental organization established in 1995 in Addis Ababa. It is a network of like-minded organizations under the name “NOVIB Partners Forum on Sustainable Land Use in Ethiopia and Eritrea”. The organisation was established due to data received from a 1994 study exposing severe land degradation and unsustainable population dynamics in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Partnerships with Eritrean organizations were discontinued due to the war between the two countries in 1998.
