eLandCare Ethiopia

eLandCare Ethiopia is a mobile app (Android) that provides site-specific recommendations for soil and water conservation, based on field observations. It allows users to:

• Identify appropriate conservation actions using the Ethiopia Soil and Water Conservation field guide.
• Compare existing interventions with recommended conservation bundles.
• Collaborate with land users (farmers) to enhance productivity and protect natural resources.

The app is built for agricultural extension agents, land managers and development practitioners working in diverse and often remote settings. It works fully offline and ensures usability where connectivity is limited, so users can move seamlessly from observation and assessment to recommendation without leaving the field. 

Beyond individual sites, the app supports broader planning efforts. It helps users understand unfamiliar landscapes, compare existing conservation practices with recommended options, and plan land restoration and climate-resilient interventions more systematically.
