Looking Ahead
The team had learned that bottom-up approaches
generated the most sustainable solutions, that
leadership manifested through collaboration rather
than hierarchy, and that every participant had
valuable contributions to make. These insights,
captured in project documentation, informed
broader efforts to address soil health challenges
across Ethiopia.
Sustainability of the interventions of ALP was hinged
on the original platform structure and partnerships.
The ALP Ethiopia Team acknowledged the crucial
support of CALA, AGRA Ethiopia, the Ministry of
Agriculture, and GIZ SLM in making these
achievements possible.
What had begun as a response to soil acidity had
grown into a model for collaborative agricultural
transformation, one that continued to yield benefits
for wheat farmers and their communities.
