Ethiopia is a focus country for my activities, after having worked there from 1997-1999 for GTZ I returned for the support of the forest and NRM sector in 2015 and have assisted the Biodiversity and Forestry Programme with Government of Ethiopia since then for KfW and GIZ in more than ten short term assignments. Currently I work as technical expert for KfW accompanying the forest and wood processing project in Amhara as well as for the MoA in the further development of an integrated Lake Catchment development SLM programme around Lake Chamo.
