2. History
1994 Participatory forest management
2010 Publication of introductory guidelines
2010 Piloting of PRM in Ethiopia
2014 Upscaling – 5.6 million hectares (PRIME)

3. Conclusions of review
- The application of PRM to date has failed to contribute to the
strengthening of an enabling environment for the process
including land and resource tenure security. PRM is not well
integrated within government structures and government
support for the process remains weak.
- PRM has worked well in improving local level planning
processes including those involving multi-stakeholders and in
strengthening local governance structures. To some degree it has
contributed to the improving of rangeland productivity through
rangeland rehabilitation activities, however this requires much
greater investment.
- Organisations implementing PRM have failed to adequately
measure impacts or to provide baselines from which impact can
be measured. Unless this is addressed it is challenging to assess
whether PRM has been successful or not.

4. Stages and steps of PRM

5. Mapping
Rangeland resource
mapping is an important
first step in understanding
rangeland resource as
well as contributing to a
recognition of pastoral
land use through the
documentation process

6. Summary of process in Ethiopia
• Mapping and rangeland resource assessment
• Establishment of Rangeland Management
Council
