1:180,000 scale (10 x vertical exaggeration)
Participatory 3D Model (P3DM) of the Southern
Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region,
Ethiopia. (June-July 2010).
Note:
The model measuring
3m x 2.5 (112.343 km2
on the ground) is the 5th Participatory 3D
Model constructed in Ethiopia.
The exercise has been organised by the MERIT
project to raise awareness among policy makers
and government officials on the potentials of community-based
participatory watershed development (CBPWD) .
The "Managing Environmental
Resources to Enable Transition to more
sustainable livelihoods" (MERET)
programme has demonstrated the effectiveness of
CBPWD in reducing soil erosion, rehabilitation
of gullies, harvesting rainwater and restoring
land productivity in such a manner as to produce
substantial community and household assets that
provide the basis for increased agricultural
production and food security. Participatory 3D
modelling (P3DM) has been quite effective in
raising awareness on the issues related to
watershed degradation and has been used to raise
awareness on the issues at stake in the Region.

A joint venture between the Ethiopian
government and WFP, the
MERET programme gets chronically food-insecure
communities involved in environmental rehabilitation
and sustainable income- generating activities that
improve livelihoods. The long term objective of
MERET is "to improve livelihood and food security
opportunities for the most vulnerable and in particular
women headed households through the sustainable
use of the natural resource base ". In the
Southern Nations, Nationalities,
and People's Region (SNNPR)
the MERET project operates in 6 zone or 12 woredas
over a total area of 118,280 ha.
