The investigation was based on in-depth empirical field work including a survey with 635 heads of Awareness smallholder farmers’ households via interview using semi-structured questionnaires. Further, water abstraction Lake was estimated from three districts that border with the lake. Respondents believe that Lake Ziway provides a Water abstraction number of individual and collective benefits for local communities, private companies and public institution. They stated, however, that the lake is under pressure from the floriculture industry and other investment pro- jects, high population growth and subsequent expansion of settlements and irrigation farms, high applications of agrochemicals, soil erosion, uncontrolled water abstraction, and deforestation in the watershed. -

Assessment Field Trip to Arsi Zone (Oromiya Region)
United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia (EUE) Assessment field trip to Arsi zone (Oromiya Region) Field Assessment Mission: 7 – 10 April & 15 – 17 April 2003 By Francois Piguet, UN-Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia 1. Introduction and background The mission’s major objectives were to assess the humanitarian situation in Arsi, following three years of rainfall deficit. The assessment focused on general agriculture situation, livestock condition and the main humanitarian concerns, which are stressed mainly due to food insecurity at household level, water shortage, health issues and unexpected migrations of people and livestock. According to the zonal authorities, of 22 woreda in Arsi zone, 19 are affected by the prolonged drought conditions. The most affected woreda are: Dodota Sire and Zway Gugda woreda where it is estimated that last year farmers lost 95 % of their harvest, Merti and Gololcha with 80% failure and Seru 70% failure. Woreda in the lowlands suffered greatest. At the beginning of 2003 Belg rainy season, Arsi zone has experimented rain onset delays and erratic rains, but since mid-April heavy rain occurred allover the zone. Due to a long-term crop production decrease and the failure of Meher 2002 (Piguet, 2002), all affected woredas are facing seed problems. Only some composed seed and uncertified local seed are now available. At this stage, Asala seed enterprise production remains expensive and is mostly offering unsuitable seed for subsistence farmers. Almost no sorghum seed and maize katomani maize are available in Awasa and in Asela, the two main seed multiplication centers in south-east Ethiopia. -

Ensuring Continued Improvement of Sustainable Economic Well-Being
ENSURING CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC WELL-BEING Catholic Relief Services, in a consortium with the Ethiopian Catholic Church Social & Development Commission of Meki, or MCS, has launched a 5-year program (2017-2022) in nine districts, or woredas, across three zones in Oromia: Arsi Negele, Heben Arsi, Shala, Siraro, Ziway Dugda, Dodota, Sire, Adami Tullu Jido Kombolcha and Boset. The Feed the Future Ethiopia Livelihoods for Resilience – Oromia activity is designed to promote on-farm (crop and livestock), off-farm, and employment livelihood pathways for households enrolled in the Government of Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Programme. The new activity builds on the consortium’s success under the Graduation with Resilience to Achieve Sustainable Development (GRAD) program. Women sell vegetables in a market. The CRS activity seeks to increase and The activity works closely to assist 24,500 households diversify income through off-farm opportunities.

SHIMELIS1 Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR), Melkassa Agricultural Research Center, Biometerics, GIS and Agrometeorology (BGA) Research Process, P. O. Box 436, Ethiopia 1Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR), Head Quarter (HQ), Biometerics,GIS and Agrometeorology (BGA) Research Process, P. O. Box 2003, Ethiopia Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT There is growing demand for spatially explicit information among stakeholders across public and private institutions regarding vulnerability to climate change at the local scale. This study was conducted over 16 districts in Central Rift Valley (CRV) of Ethiopia, to determine the degree of climate risk and the relative vulnerability of the districts, to climate change and, thereby identify vulnerable hotspots. A biophysical and socio-economic indicator based integrated vulnerability assessment technique was used to map climate change vulnerability. Indicators were generated and analysed under three components of vulnerability, namely exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity; and finally aggregated into a single vulnerability index. The values of all indicators were normalised by considering their functional relationship with vulnerability, and expert judgment was then used to assign weights to all indicators. Aggregate vulnerability index (VI) was finally determined from the weighted sum of all indicators and mapped over the 16 districts. Selti, Dodotana-Sire and Tiyo districts had relatively high vulnerability to climate change; while Arsinegele, Adamitulu-Jido-Kombolcha and Dugda-Bora were the least vulnerable. -

More than 10.2 million people required relief food assistance at the peak of the drought in April. To meet people’s needs, the Government of Ethiopia and humanitar- ian partners issued an initial appeal for 2016 of US$1.4 billion, which increased to $1.6 billion in August. -
Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation
Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project conducted by Ethiopia Office: August, 2018 Country Name Federal Democratic Republic Improving Maternal and Child Nutrition Status in Oromia Region (COBANA) of Ethiopia I. Project Outline In Ethiopia, it was estimated that 57% of the cause of death was malnutrition among under-five children. Malnutrition is also one of the major causes of infectious diseases. The Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) in 2005 estimated that 46% of under-five children were being stunted. Under those situation, the government of Background Ethiopia had been duly making efforts to reduce acute malnutrition which were effective in short-term but limitedly effective to establish a sustainable mechanism to reduce chronic malnutrition. Therefore, the government of Ethiopia requested the government of Japan a technical cooperation to establish a community-based nutrition (CBN) approach in Oromia Region in order to improve maternal and child nutrition. Through expanding access to appropriate nutritional services for community members, the project aims at strengthening community level preventive services thereby contributing to reduction of malnutrition among Objectives of the under-five children and Pregnant and Lactating (PLWs) in the targeted woredas. Project 1. Overall Goal: Malnutrition among under-five children and PLWs are reduced in the targeted woredas. 2. Project Purpose: Community-level preventive services are strengthened to reduce malnutrition of under-five children and PLW in the targeted woredas. 1. Project Site: 10 Woredas in the thee target zones of Arsi (Tiyo, Shirka, Dodota and Ziway Dugda), East Shewa (Lume, Bora, Boset and Adami/Tullui) and Bale (Goba and Shinana), in Oromia Region 2. -
