  • Modelling the Current Fractional Cover of an Invasive Alien Plant and Drivers of Its Invasion in a Dryland Ecosystem
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Modelling the current fractional cover of an invasive alien plant and drivers of its invasion in a dryland Received: 23 July 2018 Accepted: 23 November 2018 ecosystem Published: xx xx xxxx Hailu Shiferaw1,3, Urs Schafner 2, Woldeamlak Bewket3, Tena Alamirew1, Gete Zeleke1, Demel Teketay4 & Sandra Eckert5 The development of spatially diferentiated management strategies against invasive alien plant species requires a detailed understanding of their current distribution and of the level of invasion across the invaded range. The objectives of this study were to estimate the current fractional cover gradient of invasive trees of the genus Prosopis in the Afar Region, Ethiopia, and to identify drivers of its invasion. We used seventeen explanatory variables describing Landsat 8 image refectance, topography, climate and landscape structures to model the current cover of Prosopis across the invaded range using the random forest (RF) algorithm. Validation of the RF algorithm confrmed high model performance with an accuracy of 92% and a Kappa-coefcient of 0.8. We found that, within 35 years after its introduction, Prosopis has invaded approximately 1.17 million ha at diferent cover levels in the Afar Region (12.3% of the surface). Normalized diference vegetation index (NDVI) and elevation showed the highest explanatory power among the 17 variables, in terms of both the invader’s overall distribution as well as areas with high cover. Villages and linear landscape structures (rivers and roads) were found to be more important drivers of future Prosopis invasion than environmental variables, such as climate and topography, suggesting that Prosopis is likely to continue spreading and increasing in abundance in the case study area if left uncontrolled.

  • The Effect of Community-Based Interventions on Increasing Family
    The Effect of Community-Based Interventions on Increasing Family Planning Utilization in Pastoralist Community of Afar Region Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial By: Mussie Alemayehu Gebreselassie (B.SC, MPH/RH) Advisors: Dr.Afework Mulugeta (Ph.D., Associate Professor) Dr.Araya Abrha (Ph.D., Associate Professor) Feb, 2018 Mekelle, Ethiopia i | P a g e Summary Introduction: Pastoralism, practiced on a quarter of the globe’s surface. An estimated 50 million pastoralists live in sub-Saharan Africa. In Ethiopia, pastoralist community contributes to 12-15% of the total population and 60% of the surface area. Based on the report of Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey 2016 (EDHS) report, Ethiopia shows an impressive gain in family planning utilization. However, such gain is not uniformly distributed across the agrarian and pastoralist region. The Afar region was one of the regions with low performance of family planning utilization (11.6%). Therefore, this study aims at quantifying the effect of the community-based intervention which includes male involvement and women education on increasing family planning service utilization in pastoralist community from Afar region. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial with three arm studies will be employed in 33 clusters of pastoralist community from Afar region. The intervention includes women education and male involvement in family planning utilization and this will be compared with the control group. A total of three data at pre-intervention, midline (follow-up) and post-intervention data will be collected with a four and half months time gap. The data structure will be restructured following collecting the baseline data to enable for follow up of the mother.
