5

Result Contribution

● In some rural kebeles A/R were identified ● Community awareness were increased up on Da training at rural

kebeles ● In Areas of 2018A/R sites ,mainly in Anfillo Woreda trained DA’a

were fully participated in overall activities of A/R

Challenges and the way Foreword

Challenges: ● Lack of willingness of DA in full participating in overall activity at

all level ● Comparing perdium payment with other WB activity

The way forward:

● All three Das existing in rural kebeles should be trained for effective implementation of REDD+ activity

Conclusion and Recommendation

Conclusion As a matter of the fact, training program held at each woreda’s of Sayyoo clustered preformed under a serious condition of peace instability and the

time training time accommodated with other activity given through Woreda Agricultural and natural Resource office. So that it is better to accomplish training program of DA at a time of off-set season the physics year Recommendation Development Agents are our main actors for the implementation of REDD+ on the ground therefore safeguard training important for them. DAs training on safeguard started from hotspot area where investment activities implemented. For effective and successful implementation of A/R activityat rural kebele level in the coming physical year it is beeter to consider the following point 1. The training of DA should accommodate Plant science and animal husbandry field of species and identified A/R sites (all the three DA assigned at each kebele should involve in training session) 2. The Training of DA should be from kebeles where A/R sites were identified and approved for the physical activity of a given year 3. Including the supervisor of DA in training session has its own value while follow up the overall activity of REDD+ activity in its working cluster and helping in implementation the scheduled activity
