CURRICULUM VITAE

Name : Zenebe Adimassu First name : Zenebe Nationality : Ethiopian Language English, Amharic

Summary

Zenebe Adimassu holds a PhD Production Ecology and Resources Conservation from Wageniungen University and Research Center (WUR), an MSc in International Land and Water Management (WUR), a BSc in Soil and water Conservation (MU). He has about 20 years of research experience at the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR). Currently, Zenebe is working as an international researcher in Agricultural Water Management at the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) in West Africa, Accra. He is leading and coordinating three projects of IWMI Ghana component including Africa RISING (Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the next Generation), WLE (Water Land and Ecosystems) and ILSSI (Innovation Lab for Small Scale Irrigation). In addition, Zenebe is conducting research on irrigation agronomy, performance of Bhungroo (artificial groundwater recharge), land use/cover changes, analyzing rainfall variability and dry spells in Northern Ghana.

During his postdoctoral carrier at the IWMI Ethiopia office, he has reviewed and synthesized the response of plot level soil and water conservation in Ethiopia. He conducted a comprehensive impact assessment of watershed management interventions in four major regions of Ethiopia. He also identified the role of incentives for farmers’ investments in natural resource management in the Nile basin of Ethiopia. Zenebe contributed to the project entitled ‘Strengthening farmers’ resilience to climate change through agricultural water management’ (funded by USAID).

Zenebe has started his carrier in the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) as a junior researcher in Agro-meteorology and GIS research program in 2000. Zenebe has extensive research experience in the field of land and water management such soil and water conservation and small-scale irrigation at plot and watershed scales. At plot level, he designed and led several participatory research on different technological options for restoration of degraded landscapes in Ethiopia; identifying the effect of soil conservation structures on different ecosystem services; water balance studies of different land use and effect of conservation agriculture on land degradation and crop yield. At the watershed scale, he designed and led several research activities for improving land productivity through an integrated watershed management approach in Ethiopia. Zenebe coordinated the watershed-management research program at EIAR for three years. He had also a privilege to coordinate the African Highlands Initiative (AHI) watershed management programme in Ethiopia. While coordinating AHI, he led an interdisciplinary team in the development and implementation of participatory action and empirical researches to improve livelihoods through the intensification of under-utilized and degraded watersheds. Zenebe is Zenebe has a wide range of skills related to field experimentation of agronomic trials and data analysis using statistical packages such as SAS, GenStat, SPSS and STATA. Zenebe has published several peer reviewed articles, book chapters, proceedings, and policy briefs. He has also made several presentations in national and international conferences.
