Foreword
This book of abstracts was compiled following the request from federal and regional
forestry institutions to help improve access to scientific literature. Most of the technical team
members that assembled the abstracts contained in this publication were drawn from our
two institutions; the Ethiopian Environment and Forest Research Institute and Wondo Genet
College of Forestry and Natural Resources, Hawassa University. Researchers, teaching
staff and students will be among the major beneficiaries of this publication. As heads of the
respective institutions, we would like to express our gratitude for being part of this important
undertaking. We thank all the team members for their contribution. We are also grateful for
CIFOR for initiating and implementing this project that played important role in building local
capacity and making our two institutions active partners in its planning and implementation.

Preface
This publication is an output of a project entitled “Enhancing the Role of Forestry in Ethiopiaʼs
Climate Resilient Green Economy: A Knowledge, Action Research and Innovation Project”.
The project was designed and implemented by CIFOR in collaboration with its national
partners, mainly the Ministry of Environment and Forest, the Ministry of Agriculture, the
Ethiopian Environment and Forest Research Institute, Wondo Genet College of Forestry
and Natural Resources and other higher learning institutions and Federal and regional
research institutes. Over 25 senior experts from these organizations were engaged in the
project. The intended outcome of the project was to identify effective forest management
practices for scaling up with emphasis on area ex-closure in Tigray, participatory forest
management in Oromia, smallholder plantations in Amhara, agroforestry in Southern
Nations, and management of dry forests and woodlands in Benishangul Gumuz National
Regional States of Ethiopia. Strategies for scaling up selected practices are being developed
for the five regions and a road map to do so for the Ministry of Environment and Forest in
order to support national efforts to significantly develop the forestry sector and enhance its
contribution to build climate resilient green economy.
This Book of Abstracts that assembled relevant publications, student theses and research
reports on area ex-closure, participatory forest management, plantation forests, agroforestry,
and management of dry forests and woodlands was compiled in response to the request
by our national partners to improve access to literature of policy makers, extension and
development planners, researchers and graduate students. The readers need to be
informed that the book is simply a compilation of abstracts, key points, and summary
note. Some compiled abstracts while others (e.g. the team working on Participatory Forest
Management) prepared summaries of the reviewed documents. Despite the errors and
omissions there may be, this book of abstracts will improve access to literature to students
and experts. The readers are encouraged to access the full content of publications that
they are interested in. We hope that this attempt will pave the way for more work on forest
management practices by research and higher learning institutions.
The task of compiling abstracts of relevant literature was conducted by five national
technical teams established and supported by the project. CIFOR Ethiopia office is grateful
to all members of the teams, and their respective institutions. Our thanks also go to the
Strengthening Climate Institutions in Ethiopia Program (SCIP) Fund for financing the
project. The SCIP Fund is financed by the Governments of the United Kingdom, Norway
and Denmark.
