This document provides information on the national context of dry forests and practical management guidelines adapted to the Ethiopian context. The goal is to fill the information gap, which can allow decision-makers to better understand the true value of dry forests at the national level and take appropriate action. Much of the literature on dry forests in Ethiopia is based on case studies in different parts of Ethiopia or focuses on particular commodities with economic importance. In this document, the authors have taken a national perspective by stitching together information from the scientific and grey literature, new analyses focusing on dry forests based on existing secondary data, and comments and suggestions from key informants at the federal level and participants in two workshops held in Addis Ababa and Assosa.
