bibo:abstract "The pastoral systems of Eastern Africa have been affected by the alternated incidence of recurrent\r\ndrought and flood for the last decades, aggravating poverty and local conflicts. We have\r\nintroduced an innovation to convert floods to productive use using water spreading weirs\r\n(WSW) as an entry point to capture and spread the torrential flood emerging in the neighboring\r\nhighlands into rangelands and crop fields of low-lying pastoral systems in Afar,\r\nEthiopia. The productivity and landscape feature have changed from an abandoned field to\r\na productive landscape within 3 years of intervention. The flood patterns and sediment\r\nloads created at least four different crop management zones and productivity levels. Based\r\non moisture and nutrient regimes, we developed land suitability maps for integrating crops\r\nand forages fitting to specific niches. The outcome was a fast recovery of landscapes, with\r\n150% biomass yield increment, increased access to dry season feed and food. These positive\r\noutcomes could be attributed to the proper design of weirs, joint planning and execution\r\nbetween pastoralists, researchers and development agents, identification and availing best-fitting\r\nvarieties for each management zone and developing simple GIS-based parcel level maps\r\nto guide development agents and pastoralists. The major ‘agents’ were community leaders\r\n(‘Kedoh Abbobati’) who keenly debated potential benefits and drawbacks of innovations,\r\nenforced customary rules and byelaw and suggested changes in approaches and choices of\r\ninterventions. In general, an innovation system approach helped to create local confidence,\r\nattract attention of government institutions and helped local actors to identify investment\r\nareas, develop implementation strategies to increase productivity, define changes as it occurs\r\nand minimize conflicts between competing communities. However, the risk of de facto use of\r\na plot of communal land translating into long-term occupation and ownership may be\r\nimpacting a communal territory and social cohesion that was subject to other collective choice\r\ncustomary rules."^^xsd:string;
