Nile Goblet training Addis Ababa 8-9th November Gondar 13-14 November Catherine Pfeifer & Yenenesh Abebe
Nile Basin Development Challenge program : N3 on targeting and scaling out Improving resilience of rural livelihoods by using rainwater management as an entry point. N3: • raise awareness that solutions are context specific • Provide a tool for geographical targeting
Objective of the training • Participants understand the concept of integrated rainwater management and rainwater management strategies • Participants understand the concept of suitability and feasibility maps • Participant are able to map out rainwater management strategies of their choice with the Nile Goblet tool • Participants are able to feed their own maps to the Nile tool • Participants are able to organize a Nile training for their peers
Spirit of the training • Competence based training • Little formal teaching • Lots lotslots of exercises : “discover the suitability mapping in your own speed” • Learn how to learn on your own • Open source training => “open-source spirit” • Testing a new tool (beta version) • We learn together • We keep track of error messages • We help each other
Program Day 1 • Review the concept of rainwater management at landscape scale • Discover the Nile-Goblet tool • Make suitability and feasibility maps
Prepare your own data for the Nile Goblet tool Two set of exercises that can be solved in : • ArcGIS = refresher of last year training • Grass = open source solution Please choose your software and get it installed during the break (from the CD). For ArcGIS request your free trial license on the esri website.
Some housekeeping • A name tag • You should have a • Nile-Goblet manual • ArcGIS manual • A CD • If you are from outside Addis/Gondar • a reimbursement form
Rainwater management ? • What is rainwater management? • Examples of practices • What is a the farm and the landscape scale? • What is integrated watershed management?
Feasibility mapping for rainwater management practices • Introducing socio-economic constraints
Willingness of adoption maps (for rainwater management practice) • Small area estimation • Econometric model for adoption based on household data • Extrapolation based on the Ethiopian Rural Atlas • Model with and without spatial trend.
Aggregation to the landscape scale: combining practices into strategies
So what is Nile-Goblet tool? • An open source GIS tool that can produce the • Suitability maps • Feasibility maps • Strategy maps Without prior GIS knowledge • Flexible tool • Can be adjusted for any practice/technology • For any location in the world • versions • For the Nile basin (large scale) • For watersheds (small scale) in development
