Effort in Addressing their water supply problem: As reported during the FGD, the Edlal community had suffered from shortage of drinking water for both human and animal consumption. Only two check dam which was built in 1986 by EPLF was the only water sources for all community in the Kebabi Adminstration. Starting from 2015, the community has been able mobilized their own resources and construct a total of 8 ponds and check dams, which are currently used as a sources for human consumption (downstream side) and livestock watering. Notice the community effort to protect their water source from animal contamination by putting tree branch and shrubs fence around the water sources but still the sources is contaminated and highly degraded. 3 Bakla 4 Maret 5 Mo'o
Annex N: Past and Ongoing Projects Title Fund, Implementing Entity and Executing Agency Timeline and budget Details Alignment with the proposed project Mainstreaming Climate Risk Considerations in Food Security and IWRM in Tsilima Plains and Upper Catchment Area Fund: GEF (LDCF) Implementing Entity: United Nations Development Programme Executing Agency: Ministry of Land, Water and Environment Timeline: 2016-2021 Budget: US$9,050,000 To integrate adaptation measures into ecosystem restoration and agricultural production systems to address climate change in Eritrea and secure the benefits of the National Food Security Strategy and IWRM Action Plan. The LDCF-financed project supports the implementation of Priorities 3,4 and 5 of Eritrea’s NAPA – which focus on livestock, forestry and water resources, respectively. The proposed project is closely aligned with this LDCF project in that they both support ongoing initiatives on landscape restoration. At the central government level, both projects will be under the oversight of the Ministries of Agriculture (MoA) and that of Land, Water and Environment (MLWE). This central-level coordination by the two Ministries will facilitate learning and promote joint planning and monitoring by the two institutions, which has been identified as one of the missing elements in planning and implementation in Eritrea, as is the case in many other countries.

Integrated Semenawi and Debubawi Hawakil Protected Area System for Conservation of Biodiversity and Mitigation of Land Degradation Fund:GEF Trust Fund Implementing Entity:United Nations Development Programme Executing Agency:Ministry Land, Water and Environment Timeline: 2014-2020 Budget: GEF Grant US$5,878,000 Co-Financing US$10,450,000 To establish a national system of protected areas to conserve biodiversity and mitigate land degradation pressures on habitats in key biodiversity areas, initially centred in the Semenawi-Debubawi Protected Areas Cluster. The biodiversity mapping activities planned under the new proposed project will provide valuable information about the status of Eritrea’s fauna and flora, including the African Olive, Juniper and Nubian Ibex, which form part of the Rora Habab’s key biodiversity species. Drought resilience and sustainable livelihoods programme DRLSP-IV Eritrea Fund: African Development Bank Implementing Entity: GoSE Timeline:2017 Budget: US$1,400,000 The project will develop regional systems to alleviate the negative impacts caused by the deteriorating environmental conditions in the Horn of Africa. Mechanisms will be established to enhance the availability of infrastructure for natural resources management (water and pastures) at the regional level (given the mobility of pastoralists across borders) and ensuring stability of the environment as well as the harmonious sharing of the The proposed project will coordinate with DRLSP to facilitate cross-project learning on NRM and livelihood diversification.

This project will draw upon the lessons learned regarding sustainable land management and land-use planning. Soil and water conservation for improved agricultural productivity Fund: GoSE Timeline: Unknown Budget: GoSE US$3,000,000 Communities in-kind US$5,000,000 Over the past decade, public soil and water conservation works and reforestation programmes have been implemented involving farm forestry, community forestry, village woodlots and popular participation. and water conservation practices are underway in all Zobas and are being implemented across an area covering 32,250 ha (as of 2014). The proposed project will build on the reforestation and soil conservation programmes, coordinating activities and drawing on lessons learned for soil and water conservation in Eritrea. Ministry of Agriculture five year (2014-2018) strategic development plan Fund: GoSE Timeline: 2014-2018 Budget: GoSE US$7,000,000 The Five Year Strategic Development Plan targets smallholder farmers, who form a large majority of the Eritrean farming community.
