Ethiopia: Farmers make the shift to agroecology – but not without support

The Centre for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry(CIFOR-ICRAF) Measuring Agroecology Performance (MAP) project assessed the performance of agroecology within the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ)’s ProSilience project in four African countries – Benin, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Madagascar using the FAO Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE), a four-step process that entails describing the system and context; characterization of agroecological transitions (CAET) based on the 10 elements of agroecology; addressing the core criteria of performance (governance, economy, health and nutrition, society and culture, and environment); and participatory evaluation of results.

The MAP project forms part of the Metrics domain of the Agroecology Transformative Partnership Platform.
