Sustainable Environment and Development Action - SEDA

Promoting & Building Sustainable Envinronment and Livliehoods.

For over 25 years, SEDA has been committed to building sustainable livelihoods for vulnerable smallholder Agro-Pastoralists in the face of client change.

Sustainable Environment and Development Action (SEDA), formerly known as Selam Environmental Development Association, was founded in 1992 as a non-profit, non-political, and non-governmental organization devoted to ensuring sustainable environmental and human development in Ethiopia through a participatory and integrated development approach. SEDA launched its first intervention in 1995 in specific Rift Valley areas where environmental degradation was the most critical problem. Prior to that, SEDA was involved in building the awareness of influential community members about the severity of environmental degradation and SEDA's plan for rehabilitation. As a result, the community, having been initiated in the program, has contributed its land where SEDA carries out environment and household food security projects.
