dc.description.abstract | Gubalafto Woreda of Amhara National Regional State. It focused to provide new insights in the
study area in particular, and to implicate in North Wollo zone and Amhara regional state in
general by employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Applying the qualitative
approach involved the use of key informants selected by purposive sampling based on criteria
like level of involvement, social responsibility in the community, knowledge and experience in
PSNP-NRM projects, while in the quantitative method respondents were selected through
random sampling disaggregated by public work, direct support, agro ecology, sex and age. In
identifying target Kebeles for the study, non-probability sampling technique was applied using
criterion of existence of all types of PSNP-NRM projects and activities in the kebele. Stata was
the statistical tool used and ordered logistic regression model was applied in analyzing the data.
Two objectives were focused in assessing practices of participation and issues of sustainability
of the 10 PSNP-NRM projects under this study whereas the third objective was analyzing the
effect of participation of local community on the sustainability of PSNP-NRM projects. Results
show that, practices of true participation of local community in the PCMs of the 10 projects was
poor. It was mostly limited to the execution phases. The issues of sustainability of those projects
were also alarming that strategies have to be designed to ensure it. Sustainability was assessed
based on 13 indicators (two indicators for environmental sustainability, two indicators for
economic sustainability and 9 indicators for social sustainability) and the result showed that one
project never met all the three pillars of sustainability at a time, that again indicated none of the
projects are fully sustained, they all were found to be partially sustained. From the biological
PSNP-NRM projects, area closure performed better as compared to others and nursery
management /seedling plantation performed poorer than others. From physical PSNP-NRM
projects, potable water development performed better and rain water harvesting performed
poorer than others when measured against the sustainability criteria /indicators/. Effect of
participation in PCMs of PSNP-NRM projects was statistically significant on environmental
sustainability (indicator-wise use of project outcomes), social sustainability (indicators-job
opportunity/security, establishment and running of CBOs and availability and access of social
services). It was however statistically insignificant on economic sustainability (indicatorsincrease
productivity/production and sale of products/byproducts. | en_US |
