This is part of an ongoing effort to control soil erosion in the region through the construction of ridges and tree/grass planting. Also known as the Soil Conservation and Agroforestry Project Arusha (SCAPA), this effort started in the early 1980s. In the hill regions of the Ngorbob village, ridges have already been constructed and trees have also been planted. In the lowland areas, unfortunately, little has been accomplished to date largely due to financial constraints.

Nature of EPF support: Project promotion through print and electronic sources.
