A greener future on a grand scale: a summary of the Bale Eco-region Phase II project

Ethiopia’s Bale Eco-region is an ecologically critical area and also home to many people who depend on its resources for their livelihood. Since 2014, Farm Africa has been leading a consortium to improve livelihoods in the region while ensuring the ecosystem is protected. The first phase of the project developed a management strategy for the region. Phase II (2019-2024), funded by the European Union, has scaled out the strategy to reach over 1.6 million people. This report summarises those Phase II activities and outcomes.
