1 Introduction

The Ethiopian government aims to speed up development and eliminate poverty by achieving
rapid, continuous and equitable economic growth with a broad base, and development policies to
guide the country's overall development activities; Develops and implements strategies and
plans. The first development and transformation five-year plan (2003-2007) is a development
plan with a medium-term perspective, and during its implementation period, it enabled the
country to register more than 10 percent economic growth every year. Based on this, the second
five-year development and transformation plan was completed in the last five years (2008-2012).

The private investor has an irreplaceable role in achieving the growth and transformation plan
and the private investor can be a leading actor in the transition from agriculture-led economic
development to industrial-led economic development when he participates widely in the
investment sector.

It has been two decades since the implementation of a system in which the investor can be
encouraged and supported was issued at the national level in order for the private investor to play
an appropriate role in the investment. At this time, many foreign and PUIC investors in
agriculture; In hotel and tourism; In mining, in the service sector, in construction; etc., by
participating widely, he has contributed to our country's continuous progress.

In particular, since the agricultural sector plays a key role in the development of our country's
economy, the improvement in the growth of the agricultural sub-economy in general has a
significant contribution to the growth of other sub-economies.

On this basis, Ali Andris horticultural development project was developed in consideration of the
current rural development policy, especially the efforts of the Amhara National Regional
Government to attract investors, especially in the Semen Shwa Zone and the Kalu District.

The Ali Andris Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Project is a vegetable and fruit cultivation project
established in 1989 in Arabo Kebele, Kebele 021, Kalu District, South Wolo Zone, Amhara
National Regional Government. The fruits and vegetables produced in this project are used for
food. This project, by cultivating various fruits and vegetables with the help of a research center,
introducing new species that are suitable for the environment, not only increasing production and
productivity, but also bringing technology transfer, has great benefits.

The project was established by the Amhara National Regional Government in South Wolo Zone,
Kalu District 021, Arabo Kebele. Area where water, telephone etc. are complete
Therefore, before a project is implemented, an environmental and social impact assessment that
can go with the concept of the project should be implemented and an existing environmental and
community management plan should be prepared. This is intended for the continuity of the
project, and the sustainability of the development project is based on the 4 pillars of social,
environmental, political and economic issues, by avoiding and if not possible reducing the
impacts, not a high benefit that will be depleted at once, but a continuous long-term benefit to
enable the transfer to the next generation.

As they are, sufficient professional composition is included for the preparation of the document
according to the guidelines, and the consulting firm takes full responsibility for the problems that
arise around the preparation of the document.

1.1 Importance of the product

The demand for fruit and vegetable production has increased over time in relation to the
improvement of the society's livelihood, and the gap between demand and supply has become an
open secret due to the lack of sufficient supply of fruit and vegetable products to cover this
growing demand. Fruits and vegetables are a highly preferred food sector in terms of maintaining
public health and improving the diet, so the importance of the sector (the product) is not a
question.

As a result, the desire to use fruits and vegetables in our country is growing from time to time,
and to meet the needs of the society, it requires the production of sufficient and quality fruits and
vegetables. The reason for this is that there is not enough supply of products that can cover the
needs of the society and there are not enough investors in the sector and the limited investors are
not able to cover the needs with the products that are available. The regional government has
started work at Arabo Kebele 021 in Kalu District of South Wolo Zone. The location was chosen
due to the availability of land and water for the production of the product and the convenience of
taking the product to the market and taking into account the fulfillment of various necessary
requirements.
1.2 About the investor

1.6 Environmental and community management plan report structure and organization

This Environmental and Social Management Plan Report is prepared in one volume and divided
into 11 different chapters. In the first chapter, the original idea of the project is presented in
detail, which is the part that contains the purpose of the project and the research plan, including
the environment and society. In the second chapter, the research strategy (method) is included,
and in the third chapter, the hypothesis for this project and the visible knowledge gap are
analyzed.

5 Description of the project and alternatives

5.1 The location of the project / Location / Eli Andris fruit and vegetable cultivation project is
located in the National Regional Government of Amhara in South Wolo Zone, Kalu District,
Kebele 021, Arabo Kebele. It is a 5.5 hectare project.

Table 2 projects IT coordinatenet reading

5.2 Current status of the project

As the project is old, there are existing buildings, existing animal shelters, water pumps and
machines, and they have to be changed in a new form because they are already damaged. The
investor is diligent and is preparing to buy a modern machine. The other one is covered with
vegetation and there are straw and crop residues that show that it is weeds. If these crop residues
are not handled properly, there is a good chance that they can be considered as solid waste.

The other project is that agriculture is currently the focus of most of the government, but in the
future, a su pards environmental management plan will be prepared based on the benefits.

From the perspective of the plan, he has covered a permanent garden with oranges and lemons,
and he has started fattening animals in addition to vegetables in a certain form.

Project production capacity

If you look at the production area of the project, it can be produced up to 3 times a year, and 90
percent (4.9 hectares) of the total 5.5 hectares of land will be used for production, while 10 per
cent (0.6 hectares) will be used for various infrastructure works for construction and nursery.
Therefore, an average of 200 quintals of produce can be produced from one hectare of land, and
since there is no water problem, it can produce three times a year. The project is determined by
the current reality of the permanent plant

After carrying out several surveys, Athan became a fruit and vegetable cultivation project in
South Wolo Zone in Kalu Warene from Arabo ナスワイド Anch

Since it has been more than 10 years, it is not necessary to look at the location option7, it will be
enough to see in detail the indication of whether or not to implement ProON and the technology
option.

5.4.1 If this project is not implemented

If this project was not implemented, the irrigated land under the possession of the government
would have remained idle for a series of years, and it had been a conservation problem for the
farmers who were engaged in production work in the vicinity of the same farm. In addition to
this, there will be no job opportunities due to the absence of this project, and the money that can
be made to the government is not considered. So this option is rejected.

5.4.2 TC +0

If this project is implemented, the irrigated land that is already under the possession of the
government and has no work will be put into production quickly. Due to the implementation of
this project, the revenue collected for the government will increase, but it is known that when a
project is implemented, it can affect environmental, social and cultural issues. To avoid or reduce
this, it can be implemented by conducting environmental and social impact studies, strengthening
the positive impacts that may occur and allocating the necessary budget according to the
mitigation measures that are set. Therefore, since this option is better and if the project is
implemented as intended, it will be beneficial for the country's economic growth, stabilizing the
market, creating job opportunities and implementing environmental protection, so it is preferable
to implement the project.

5.5 Squid Dam

5.5.1 パウ ティッチッチ アル The technologies that are being used now are not very modern, they
require time and energy, and they use diesel at a high level, so they are not economically
feasible, and they are not preferred.

552 关户不 Other modern technologies such as sprinkler and drip irrigation technologies

1. Because they can cultivate more fields using less water

2. Because they use less labor

3. Also, since they use less diesel, they cause less environmental pollution and are economically
viable, so it is a better option to use this.

5.6 Source, type, nature and quantity of raw materials

Knowing the raw materials, chemicals, and products needed for a project can help predict
potential negative impacts. In the present situation, to implement the government's policy,
vegetables are being planted, but it will not continue permanently, so it is important to identify
the old fruits that are not useful and focus on those that can be produced quickly, so the raw
materials used and needed in this project are presented as follows.
We have 3 main inputs and raw materials

1. Types of seeds

Various vegetable and fruit seeds are supplied from different domestic and foreign research
centers and artificial fertilizers are supplied to the foreign market. Natural fertilizer is prepared
using green leaves found in the area, and other equipment can be rented or purchased from local
suppliers.

For this project, the materials used for the transportation of the product are used in addition to the
product, and various vegetable sacks and wooden boxes are used. When the project is put into
operation at its full capacity, the annual cost required for the purchase of raw materials is 2
million birr.

5.7 Project implementation schedule

This project has been in production and so far there is a total of 5.5 hectares of old acocain and
mango that need to be replaced with lemons, avocados and oranges

As the demand for fruit and vegetable production is growing, this project is planning to produce
three times a year based on the current market gap and technical capacity.

To be able to increase the production capacity of employees and product quality control, it is
necessary to do continuous capacity building work, and it will take time to penetrate the market.
Therefore, this project will last for 30 years from the year the contract was taken, and the project
will be able to produce at its full capacity in two years. Starting from 2016, it will produce 85%
in the first year and 100% in the second year. The production program of the project will be as
follows.

5.8 Type of technology and use of technology

Ali Andris Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Project renews and carries out its production using
modern technology, especially the use of farm and row tractors, sprinkler irrigation, modernizing
the entire fruit and vegetable cultivation system and using pioneering technology, and the
construction of a standard office on the farm.

conducted. Construction to be carried out for warehouse, office, housing for employees, toilet
and shower service for male and female employees should be done separately.

5.9 Manufacturing process; Type and amount of residual products and main products

The Ali Andris animal fattening and fruit and vegetable cultivation project was established
mainly to produce various fruits and vegetables and market them to the consumer community. It
plays a major role in getting me used to it. Therefore, when this project is implemented in its full
version, it is estimated that 980 quintals of different vegetables and products can be produced
annually. Thus, up to 10 quintals of chest and liquid waste can be generated

5.10 Cleaning and disposal system of dry and sewage waste

A. Solid waste disposal

When there are solid wastes that can be created during the production process of vegetables and
fruits, especially the leaves that can be removed during the production of vegetables and fruits,
the waste related to product packaging and the used papers that are thrown away during
administrative work, etc. It is appropriate to reuse what you can, and it is expected to collect and
prepare natural fertilizers and use them for production purposes.

Li liquid waste disposal

The liquid waste that can be expected in this project is from animals and various vehicles
(machines) that are used during the production process.

Used fuel and oil may spill in the area. In addition, the production inputs used by the project for
production improvement, especially synthetic fertilizers, may be mixed with water and flowed
into the area. Therefore, it is possible to give the burnt oil that is spilled to the local farmers to
use as an anti-termite when the vehicles are changing oil while they are in operation. In order to
reduce the pollution that may occur due to the use of artificial fertilizers, an appropriate soil
protection method should be used and the direction of production should be followed using
natural fertilizers.

5.11 Employment Status

ATCH will need 35 employees for this project, which will help in predicting the amount of waste
that will be removed from the workers. In the process of hiring workers, the project will follow
the direction of giving priority to local residents, while educated manpower will be hired from
the market according to the required educational preparation. The annual cost for employees is
79,000 Birr.

6 Basic information about the project

6.4 Infrastructure
In order to make any investment work convenient, efficient and viable, infrastructure works,
especially road convenience and electricity supply, are the main things. In this project area, a
pre-built Korekonch road with full service both in winter and summer has been built.

7.3.2 Negative effects during the production process

In this project, the negative impacts that may occur during the production process of the project
are presented in detail as follows.

A. Increase in groundwater

It has been confirmed by various studies that the long-term effect of irrigation on the increase of
groundwater is significant. This not only increases the salinity of the soil but also makes it
difficult for plants to grow and reduces the availability of the soil for work. The magnitude of the
effect was calculated as follows.

Damage levels

The magnitude of the impact

b. Ground and surface water pollution

The types of resources we use for the effectiveness of the technology, such as DAP and Urea,
have a high rate of precipitation, and contribute to groundwater pollution. The damage is direct,
and the coverage is from the area where the project is established to the downstream. The
intensity of the impact is calculated as follows.

Project Background

Agriculture is the main economic activity for over 88% of people of Rwanda. The agriculture
sector contributes 47% of Rwanda’s Gross Domestic Product and over 80% of foreign earnings
come through exports of Coffee, Tea and other agro-based products. The most commonly
cultivated crops include cassava, potatoes, sweet potatoes, maize, plantains, and beans. Rwanda
has two distinctive seasons for crop cultivation, the first season is from September to January and
the second season between February to June.

Though agriculture production has improved in Rwanda over the last decade, it has yet not
reached its true potential. Fortune of Africa suggests the following challenges that the agriculture
sector in Rwanda currently faces.

Scarcity of land, which is an outcome of high population.

Deterioration of soil fertility and severe land erosion.

Very low levels of inputs in the form either organic manure or other fertilizers.

Agriculture is based on rainfall as little irrigation goes on in Rwanda.

Low purchasing power among the rural people.

Lack of awareness about market dynamics by the farmers in the country.

Limited market participation by the farmers

Lack of access to financial services.

Agricultural advisory services are not easily accessed by the rural farmers.

The Food and Agriculture Organization, also emphasises on the need to adopt good agricultural
practices to deal with the existing problems that the sector faces. FAO, identified the following
major challenges that the agriculture sector in Rwanda, currently faces.

Land degradation and soil erosion are among the main challenges faced by agriculturalists: 90%
of domestic cropland in Rwanda is on slopes ranging from 5% to 55%, which leads to soil loss,
erosion and reduced fertility. It is estimated that 1.4 millions of tones of soil per year is lost,
accounting for a loss of 320.000 US dollars.

Land use and distribution: Women in Rwanda face difficulties in land inheritance and have
insecure land rights, because of which they are unable to use their land efficiently.

High dependence on rainfalls: Rwandan agriculture is highly dependent on rains and a very low
percentage of farmers use any form of irrigation.

Low levels of productivity for both crops and livestock: Farmers in Rwanda follow inefficient
farming practices which results in poor yields.

Poor Processing capacity: Rwanda has a very low share of processed food; as a result a lot of
harvested products get wasted in the absence of proper marketing or value addition.
Lack of access to appropriate technology: Farmers do not have access to appropriate technology
that can help them in reducing post harvesting losses.

Due to poor knowledge, poverty and infrastructure, most farmers still practice subsistence
farming. Towards supporting the farmers and improving farm base income, our organization
proposes to implement a sustainable farming project. The proposed project will help in
improving the knowledge of farmers on various aspects of sustainable farming, which will help
them in improving the productivity from their farms, thereby improving their income.

Project Description

Project Goal: To augment the livelihood of rural communities in Rwanda through enhancing
resilience of agriculture through the development, promotion and adoption of Sustainable
Farming Practices.

Project Objectives

To promote sustainable farming practices through awareness generation and demonstration in

Rwanda.

Establishment of 10 farmer training centers to provide training on aspects of sustainable farming

to 1000 identified farmers.

Establish 50 farmers libraries and common facility areas to provide agricultural inputs – quality
seeds, manure and other equipment to the farmers.

Project Activities
Objective 1. To promote sustainable farming practices through awareness generation and
demonstration.

Activity 1. Baseline Generation

Our teams shall undertake a baseline study to understand the existing agriculture scenario in the
identified project sites. We shall undertake secondary research along with conducting meetings
with focus groups to document the following aspects of agriculture in Rwanda:

Area under degradation

Identifying fertile area under agriculture

Major challenges that farmers face

Markets for selling their produce

Soil quality

Water quality

Landholding size

Farmers income

Major crops being cultivated

Assessment of economic importance of various crops

Existing agronomic practices being used by farmers

The baseline report will also help us in identifying the 1000 farmers for the initial phase of the
project. During the survey we shall also develop linkages with the government department and
other organizations.

Activity 2. Promotion of Sustainable Good Agriculture Practices

Awareness generation will be an important activity towards promoting Sustainable Good

Agriculture Practices amongst the farming communities in Rwanda. Through a series of
awareness camps and farmer meetings, we shall sensitize the farmers the importance of
sustainable farming practices and how these simple changes in farming can bring about a
positive change in the overall environment, health and the local economy. The following strategy
will be used for awareness in the identified villages.

House to house visits: Our field coordinators shall conduct house to house visits to educate the
farmers about the relevance of the project and also the importance of Good Agriculture Practices.

Village Meetings: During the village meeting, we shall organize mass awareness sessions, which
will provide us an opportunity for the whole community to listen and participate in the events.

Display of informative posters and wall paintings throughout the villages.

Organize cultural events to draw large crowds and then deliver key messages through songs,
dance and shows.
Farmer fairs wherein successful farmers from nearby villages will exhibit their best practices and
show how they were able to enhance their incomes through sustainable farming.

Objective 2: Establishment of a farmer training center to provide training on aspects of

sustainable farming to 1000 identified farmers.

Activity 1. Development of training module: Our team will be developing a comprehensive

training module for the farmers. The training manual will cover the various aspects of
sustainable farming practices and will be made in easy to understand vernacular language. Also
we will be using simple flow diagrams, info graphics and pictures to make the manuals attractive
and also easy to understand.

Activity 2. Training on aspects of sustainable farming: Master trainers at the training centers will
conduct farmers training to the identified farmers. Each batch of trainees will comprise 20-30
farmers and training will be for a period of 6 days. The training will comprise two components
viz. theory class and practical learning. The theory classes will be carried out in classroom style
teaching and will be carried out for the first three days, followed by practical field
demonstrations. During the field demonstrations, the master trainers will provide practical hands-
on training on various agronomic practices to be followed by the farmers to improve their field
productivity. The trained farmers will improve their knowledge on various aspects of
sustainable farming and gain skills on following GAP.

Understanding the history of the field so as to identify most fertile areas and then accordingly
plant the most suitable plant for the area.

Preparing a clean and chemical free area before planting of crops.

Understanding of the local pears, diseases and weeds.

Soil preparation by avoiding soil erosion and compression.

Crop rotation and understanding of different crop cycles.

Adequate seed treatment, sowing and planting process.

Preparation of seedbeds, setting nurseries and greenhouses.

Water conservation and proper irrigation method suitable for the crop.

Reduce contamination of water tanks and irrigation channels.

Use of safe and natural fertilisers, pesticides and weedicides.

Periodical observation of the crops for early detection of problems.

Preparation of organic manures and ways to prepare it.

Suitable harvesting and post harvesting techniques for different crops.

Post harvesting techniques to ensure that quality of crop remains intact.

Marketing of crops

Activity 3. Formation of Farmers Club: Once the training of the identified farmers is complete,
we will support them in formation of farmers club. All the members of the farmers club will
meet and discuss their learning and will ensure that they pass on their knowledge to other
farmers in their villages. The farmers club will be a community level initiative where the trained
farmers will help other farmers to adopt sustainable good agriculture practices in their respective
fields.

Objective 3. Establish farmer’s libraries and common facility areas to provide quality seeds,
manure and other equipment to the farmers.

Activity: Establish farmer library- We shall establish farmers libraries in all the project villages
to provide information to the farmers. These farmers library will provide necessary information
to all the farmers about the following aspects:

Weather Advisory

Market prices of products

Good Agricultural Practices for maximizing yield and income

Activity: Common Facility Areas: Along with establishing farmer libraries, we shall also
establish common facility areas to support the farmers by providing them quality seeds, manure
and equipment at subsidized rates. These common facility areas will help the farmers in the
following:

Distribution of quality agriculture inputs

Support in storing the produce in a hygienic manner

Basic processing of some products- sun drying, pulping of fruits, extraction of oil etc.

Packaging of their products

Marketing of their products

Project Monitoring and Evaluation

The project will be evaluated by an independent third party organization. The third party named
XYZ, will be responsible for monitoring and evaluation of the project. They will carry out pre
and post training surveys to assess the effectiveness of different training programs and also the
behavioral changes in farmers attitude towards sustainable farming. Also XYZ will conduct
assessment of the farmers to see the changes that have occurred on the field. The endline report
will also help us to see the impact that the project has yielded.

Expected Outcomes

Increase in productivity (i.e. production/acre/year) due to improved soil quality, water

availability and usage of sustainable farming techniques.

Good Agricultural Practices adopted by at least 50 % of the farmers in the area.

Improved soil quality and fertility as a result of using manures and organic fertilisers.

Increase income of target households as a result of increased yield and improved quality of
produce.
