Mr. Faustin Yao, UNFPA Country Rep- resentative, said on the occasion “the establishment of this resource center is reflective of the fact that students with disabilities are at a disadvantage and are facing quite a number of challenges related to SRH and the associated gen- der based violence. These challenges justify the decision to set up this center to increase their access to information and related services to empower them.” The Resource Centre consists of a computer pool of 42 computers with in- ternet connections and a reading room.

  • 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.

  • COUNTRY Food Security Update
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update December 2015 Major food security Emergency expected through 2016 KEY MESSAGES Projected food security outcomes, December 2015 The ongoing El Niño contributing to the worst drought in more than 50 years in Ethiopia has led to well below average Meher harvests in most eastern cropping areas. It has also contributed to massive livestock deaths, poor livestock body conditions and very low livestock production in Afar and northern parts of Somali Region. Between January and March 2016, large populations in the east of the country will experience very significant food consumption gaps. Poor households in pastoral southern Afar and Sitti Zone in Somali Region and in the agricultural lowlands of East and West Hararghe Zones in Oromia are worst-affected by the drought. As many households face extreme difficulty meeting their minimal basic food needs through at least March 2016, these zone are in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) acute food Projected food security outcomes, January to March insecurity. Larger areas of Tigray, Amhara, Afar, Oromia, 2016 Somali and SNNPR will remain in Crisis (IPC Phase 3). Emergency food assistance is required to protect household food consumption. Across much of the west and south of the country, rainfall performance has been much better and near normal harvests are expected for the current season. These areas will be in Minimal (IPC Phase 1) or Stressed (IPC Phased 2) acute food insecurity through March 2016. CURRENT SITUATION The cumulative amount of rainfall in November and December was above average in most parts of Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR).

The region comprises of nine administrative zones which in terms of livelihoods are categorised into 17 livelihood zones. The climate is mostly arid/semi-arid in lowland areas and cooler/wetter in the higher areas. Annual rainfall ranges from 150 - ~600mm per year. The region can be divided into two broader rainfall regimes based on the seasons of the year: Siti and Fafan zones to the north, and the remaining seven zones to the south. The rainfall pattern for both is bimodal but the timings differ slightly. The southern seven zones (Nogob, Jarar, Korahe, Doollo, Shabelle, Afder, Liban and Harshin District of Fafan Zone) receive ‘Gu’ rains (main season) from mid April to end of June, and secondary rains known as ‘Deyr’ from early October to late December. In the north, Siti and Fafan zones excluding Harshin of Fafan zone receive ‘Dirra’ - Objectives of the assessment also known as ‘Gu’ rains from late March To evaluate the outcome of the Deyr/Karan to late May.

  • Heading with Word in Woodblock
    Afar Region, Area Brief Regional Overview Afar is one of the nine ethnic divisions (Regions) of Ethiopia and is the homeland of the Afar people. The Afar Depression, also known as the Danakil depression, the lowest point in Ethiopia and one of the lowest in Africa, is located in the north of the Region. Based on figures from the Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia (CSA) published in 2005, Afar has an estimated total population of 1,389,004, consisting of 772,002 men and 617,002 women. 1,263,000 or 90.9% of the population are considered rural inhabitants (pastoralists); while 126,000 or 9.1% are urban. With an estimated area of 96,707 square kilometres, this region has an estimated density of 14.36 people per square kilometre. Basic service provision in the pastoral areas of Ethiopia has historically been problematic, with less than one-fifth of pastoral communities in Ethiopia having access to basic social services such as health care and education; Afar is no exception. The situation facing children in Afar is daunting; the challenging environment, the huge distances between communities and the unique way of life combine to pose challenges to families which are almost unequalled anywhere in the world. Only 32.3% of women receive any kind of antenatal care from skilled providers and only 2.7% from health extension workers. Delivery in a health facility is low with only 6.8% institutional deliveries in the region, and only 7.2% of deliveries were assisted by a skilled provider. In addition, only 8.6% of children are fully vaccinated and 46.1% of children have moderate malnutrition.
