  • The Case of Angacha Town, Kat Zone, Ethiopia
    Journal of Natural Sciences Research www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3186 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0921 (Online) Vol.7, No.17, 2017 Performance of Micro Enterprise and Its Determinant Factors: The Case of Angacha Town, Kat Zone, Ethiopia Abera Abebe Department of Agricultural Economics, Wolaita Sodo University Abstract This study examines the performance of microenterprises and factors that affects microenterprises in Angacha town KAT Zone. This study also inspect the cost and benefit ratio of micro enterprise as related to financial flow and its management to measure the performance and identified the factors that influence the performance of micro enterprise in Angacha town. All 40 micro enterprises from two sub-towns of Angacha were included in the study and key informants from relevant government office were interviewed to collect necessary data on enterprises performance and determinant factors. Descriptive analyses of the data were computed to assess various characteristics of micro enterprises in the study area. According to the result obtained from benefit cost ratio analysis 71.8% of enterprises found in the study area survived whereas 28.2% failed. In addition, a regression model was used to identify the determinant factors that affected the performance of the enterprises. The results of the regression analysis showed that age of enterprises, age of operators, education level, number of employees, amount of initial capital, entrepreneurial skill, experience of manager, access to training and access to market were statistically significant at less than 1% significance level and had positive relationship with the performance of enterprises.

  • COUNTRY Food Security Update
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update September 2013 Crops are at their normal developmental stages in most parts of the country Figure 1. Projected food security outcomes, KEY MESSAGES September 2013 • Following the mostly normal performance of the June to September Kiremt rains, most crops are at their normally expected developmental stage. A near normal Meher harvest is expected in most parts of the country. However, in places where Kiremt rains started late and in areas where some weather-related hazards occurred, some below normal production is anticipated. • Market prices of most staple cereals remain stable at their elevated levels compared to previous months, but prices are likely to fall slightly starting in October due to the expected near normal Meher production in most parts of the country, which, in turn, will also improve household-level food access from October to December. Source: FEWS NET Ethiopia • Overall, current nutritional status compared to June/July has slightly improved or remains the same with exceptions in Figure 2. Projected food security outcomes, some areas in northeastern Tigray and Amhara Regions as October to December 2013 well as some parts of East Hararghe Zone in Oromia Region. In these areas, there are indications of deteriorating nutritional status due to the well below average Belg harvest and the current absence of a green harvest from long-cycle Meher crops. CURRENT SITUATION • Cumulative Kiremt rainfall from June to September was normal to above normal and evenly distributed in all of Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region (SNNPR), in most parts of Amhara, in central and western parts Oromia, and in the central parts of Tigray.

    United Nations Nations Unies Office for the Coordination of Bureau de Coordination des Humanitarian Affairs in Ethiopia Affaires Humanitaires au Ethiopie Website: Website: http://ochaonline.un.org/ethiopia http://ochaonline.un.org/ethiopia SITUATION REPORT: DROUGHT/FOOD CRISIS IN ETHIOPIA – 11th July 2008 Highlights: • MoH to start training for Health Extension Workers to support nutrition response • WFP faces a shortfall of 200,543 MT of food for emergency relief beneficiaries • Both the emergency relief food and PSNP pipelines have broken • Food insecurity likely to further exacerbate due to late planting of crops and continually soaring prices of food • High numbers of malnutrition cases reported in Borena, Bale, East and West Harerge zones of Oromiya and Gurage, Siltie, Kembata Tembaro, Sidama and Hadiya zones of SNNP Regions. Situation Update Soaring food prices and poor rain performance are expected to further affect the food security situation of the urban and rural poor, vulnerable pastoral and agropastoral populations according to WFP. Maize, harricot beans and teff planted using the late belg rains in April and May are performing well in some areas but are wilting in others due to dry spells, whilst in some areas crops have been destroyed by armyworm. Green harvest of maize and some Irish potato harvest is expected beginning in late August/September. WFP noted also that unusual stress associated with the migration of both cattle and people within the Somali Region and some areas of Afar and Oromiya Regions is resulting in increased clan conflict over resources. According to CARE, improved water availability has been recorded in South Gonder and East Harerge zones of Amhara and Oromiya Regions allowing cultivation of late planted crops.

    Searching for a Way out of Social Discrimination: A Case Study of the Manjo through the 2002 Incident in Kafa SAYURI YOSHIDA Nagoya University Under the present Ethiopian government, social discrimination is a human rights issue. De- spite the national policy of the right to self-determination launched by the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front, the Manjo, a socially discriminated minority who live in the western Kafa and eastern Sheka zones, feel that they are being deprived of this right. In 2002, the Manjo attacked the Kafa in an attempt to put an end to this discrimination. Knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the Manjo uprising is essential for understanding the confl ict. Th is article describes these circumstances and the changes brought about by the incident. Key words: Kafa, Manjo, social discrimination, minorities, confl icts 1. INTRODUCTION In this article, I investigate the social background of an armed attack against the Kafa by the Manjo. In March 2002, Manjo living in Bita wäräda in the Kafa zone and Yeki wäräda in the Sheka zone of the Southern Nations Nationalities People’s Region (SNNPR) mounted an attack on their Kafa neighbors. Many Kafa were killed and their houses burned to the ground. Th e attack was violent, especially in Woshero k’ebele and Shota k’ebele of Bita wäräda. Th e Manjo are a minority group who live in pockets in the Kafa, Sheka, Benchi Maji, and Dawro zones and the Konta special wäräda in SNNPR. Th ey also occupy the Oromia and Gambella Re- gional States. Manjo living in the Kafa zone have long been discriminated against by the Kafa.

  • Assessment Report: IPMS – Farm Radio Participatory Agricultural Radio
    Assessment Report: IPMS – Farm Radio Participatory Agricultural Radio Series’ in Ethiopia February, 2012 Evaluation report by: Eyob Mihretab (Development Consultant) Submitted To: IPMS / ILRI Submitted By: Farm Radio International Executive Summary In 2011, the Improving Productivity and Marketing Success (IPMS) project of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) asked Farm Radio international to coordinate the planning and delivery of a series of radio programs related to two of the commodity value chains involved in IPMS: apiculture in the Tigray Region, and fruit tree production in Sidama. Farm Radio International accepted this invitation, and, after signing an agreement with ILRI-IPMS, proceeded with the development, implementation and evaluation of a new approach to agricultural radio: the Participatory Agricultural Radio Series – or PARS. The PARS was conceptualized as a weekly series of 6 episodes of 30-minute radio programs related to some aspect of the apiculture or fruit tree value chains. Planned with input from and the participation of intended beneficiaries, the PARS engages farmers as central players to design, develop and implement a series of radio programs around an agricultural practice they deem essential to their livelihoods and overall food security. It was anticipated that the PARS would be successful in raising the knowledge levels of communities reached by the programs, but that a 6-week series was probably inadequate to have a short-term measurable impact on the practices/behaviours of farmers.
