Transcript of Nile-Goblet software: Mapping rainwater management strategies made easy for stakeholders
Nile –Goblet is an open source so2ware that creates suitability maps for any given technology, and has been programed for rainwater management prac<ces in the Nile Basin 1. Defini<on of suitability is fully expert driven, i.e. expert define themselves which maps have to be used and their relevant suitability
range. (Step A & B below) 2. it includes the most accurate bio-‐physical map available for the Nile Basin to represent the bio-‐physical context, allowing for accurate
bio-‐physical suitability maps 3. it contains “adop<on maps” : these maps show the probability of adop<on based on micro-‐economic data for classes of rainwater
management prac<ces to account for the socio-‐economic context 4. It has a module to show combina<on of rainwater management prac<ces referred to as strategies that enable synergies at landscape
scale

Most of the agriculture in the Ethiopian part of the Nile Basin depends is rain-‐fed. Its low produc<vity can be explained to a large extend by the lack of appropriate rainwater management. Promo<ng rainwater management prac<ces in Ethiopia is not new, however they have been promoted : • regardless of the bio-‐physical and socio-‐economic context • without considering local exper<se • without accoun<ng for synergies between rainwater management prac<ces at landscape scale

Stakeholders using the tool
Evidence Stakeholders , among others from extension service, regional research and NGOs have used the so2ware.
Module 1 : Crea<on of biophysical suitability map based on stakeholders’ suitability criteria
Module 2 : Account for the socio economic context, by using adop<on maps
Module 3 : aggrega<on into strategy maps at landscape scale
