Abstract: This study was carried out in Gemechis district, Oromiya regional state to evaluate effects of community-based watershed management on livelihood resources for climate change adaptation. A total of 240 sample households were selected randomly from all farmers engaged in farming activities. Data were collected through field observations, household questionnaires survey, focused group discussion and key informants interview. The qualitative data obtained were analyzed qualitatively using appropriate words. Quantitative data were analyzed by descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentages.
