Eco-Region planning

As one of the programme’s output, an EcoRegion planning process is being developed to focus on three mainstreams of information. These are:

  • Natural resource location and condition;

  • Social issues and infrastructure; and

  • Economic activities and opportunities.



The overall objective of Eco-Region planning is to develop a planning system that enables the review of these activities at different scales and by different users. It is aimed to develop a practical tool for landuse planning and decision making that can be accessed and used by both government offices and communities.

The aim is to develop a tool for landuse planning and decision making that contains information which enables government and community leaders to make decisions about critical development issues such as changes in landuse, and the growth of settlement. The establishment of an EcoRegion planning tool aims to enable the achievement of sustainable development, safeguard and conserve the natural environment. It also aims to identify and respond to planning and development problems, such as boundary disputes between landuses and conflicts of interest between resource users and uses.

The EcoRegion planning system that the programme will develop will mirror the demonstrative divisions of the government focusing at the Woreda level. The planning system will thereby be of direct relevance to government bodies.
