Annual Rainfall Likely To Be Exceeded In 1 Year Out Of 2
No full textAnnual rainfall likely to be exceeded in 1 year out of 2, in millimeters, at 30 arcsecond resolution, was prepared for the IFAD-ICARDA Project "Poverty Assessment in Sudan". Map prepared as part of three reports that detail the results of a poverty assessment and mapping project in North and Southern Sudan. The map helps to characterize the potential and risks related to the natural resource base for agriculture in the different States of Sudan. For more information refer to linked report

Dataset on weight gains inside community-based sheep breeding programs in Ethiopia between 2009 and 2018
No full textIn small ruminants, Community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) have been suggested as an alternative to centralized government-controlled breeding schemes which were implemented in many developing countries. An innovative methodological framework on how to design, implement and sustain CBBPs was tested in three sites/breeds (Bonga, Horro and Menz) in Ethiopia. In the CBBPs, selection traits identified through participatory approaches were six-month weights in all the three sites, and in Horro and Bonga, where resources, particularly feed and water, permit larger litter sizes, twinning rate was included. Ten years (2009-2018) performance data from the programs were analyzed using Average Information Restricted Maximum Likelihood method (AI-REML). Additionally, socio-economic impact of CBBPs were assessed.
The dataset includes 2 spreadsheets for each site/breed, one showing the data collected after the animal birth, and one the data collected after six months. Results indicated that six months weight, the major selection trait in experimental CBBPs, increased over the years in all breeds

Farmer Profiling Data - Mali
No full textIn order to assess the impact of the Land Restoration Program, understanding what land restoration options work, where and for whom, there is need to identify the context-specific variables that may influence the performance of the restoration options as well as their uptake. In addition to monitoring the performance of the restoration option being implemented, a registration of the farmers involved in the project was conducted. A standard household survey was used, assessing both the socio-economic and biophysical characteristics of the households. The farmers were from five admistrative circles across three Malian regions. Specifically, the farmers were from Bankass, Bandiagara in Mopti region; Segou and Tominian in Segou region; and Yorosso in Sikasso region. The present dataset includes socio-economical data about 1639 households, including general information about the farms, crops and agricultural operations.

Micro Water Harvesting Intervention Impacts on Soil Moisture in Rangelands, Jordan, 2017/2018
No full textSoil moisture dataset collected along a hillslope in Jordanian rangelands. The data relates with the Time Domain Reflectrometry (TDR) records taken in the range of 0-20 cm, 20-40 cm, 40-60 cm, and 60-80 cm soil depth increments over the soil profile. The data represents the spatio-temporal pattern on micro water harvesting intervention impacts on soil moisture covering one complete rainy season, concretely from December 2017 to September 2018
