Abstract
Policy discourses urging environmental rehabilitation, and rapid agricultural
intensification for food self-sufficiency are firmly entrenched in Ethiopia. This
paper examines the actor-networks and key policy spaces associated with the
establishment of these discourses, taking natural resource management policies,
and institutionalisation of the SG-2000 extension programme as case
studies. An emergent, and potentially challenging, participatory natural
resource management discourse is also identified. Contrasting the regions of
Tigray and the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Region
(SNNPR), the paper concludes by arguing that, with decentralisation, differences
between regional administrative and political cultures are key to
policy processes, affecting the degree to which central policies reflect local
concerns.
