The follow-up project Climate-sensitive Innovations for Sustainable Land Management II (KLM II) is part of the development cooperation program Rural Development in Ethiopia under the BMZ core theme Life without Hunger – Transformation of Agricultural and Food Systems and the field of action Rural Development. It promotes the institutional introduction of integrated land management (ILM) at various levels, contributing to the sustainable development of rural areas by integrating multidisciplinary perspectives and conserving natural resources. The project builds on the success of its predecessor, CLM-I, and seeks to address the challenges posed by climate change to land degradation and agricultural productivity. The core problem to be addressed through the implementation of the project is the insufficient capacity for planning and implementing integrated landscape management (ILM) as a basis for improved rural living conditions which are not sufficient to institutionally anchor the ILM concept at national, regional state, and local levels. In this regard, the modular objective of the project is set as "The concept of integrated landscape management for the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources as a basis for improved living conditions in rural Ethiopia has been institutionally introduced at national, regional state, and local levels." The main intermediaries of the project are the Ministry of Agriculture and regional governments. The direct target group is the population in rural areas. The project employs a multi-level capacity development strategy for ILM, focusing on policy advice, community empowerment, and strengthening local institutions. Gender equality and participatory approaches are integrated across all activities. The project is designed into three interrelated key outputs. Output 1: Strengthening capacities for ILM policy making Output 2: Community empowerment for ILM implementation Output 3: Strengthening local institutions for the introduction of ILM in the model region at Lake Chamo It will utilize an international program manager, national component managers and experts, procurement of material goods, and financing agreements to materialize key activities of the project. The project has a duration of three years (from 07/2024 to 06/2027).
