  • 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.

  • Species Composition, Relative Abundance and Habitat Association of Birds in Arbegona, Garemba Forest, Southern Ethiopia
    Advances in Life Science and Technology www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-7181 (Paper) ISSN 2225-062X (Online) DOI: 10.7176/ALST Vol.75, 2019 Species Composition, Relative Abundance and Habitat Association of Birds in Arbegona, Garemba Forest, Southern Ethiopia Ziyad Jemal 1 Mustefa Sultan 2 1.Oromia Forest and Wildlife Enterprise, Ethiopia 2.Department of Forestry, College of Agriculture and Environmental Science, Arsi University, Asella, Ethiopia Abstract The present study was carried out in Arbegona Garemba forest from August June 2017 to February 2018 during wet and dry seasons. The study area was stratified based on vegetation composition. Accordingly, Modified habitat, Alpine bamboo forest, and Sub-Afro alpine /Ericaceous belt/ were considered. A line transects count aided by binocular was employed to investigate avian species diversity, relative abundance and Habitat association. Thus10 transect lines of 0.75km lengths with a width of 0.15km or less wereused to cover 30% of the area. A total of 74 bird species consisting of 5 near endemics, 2 globally threatened and 3 Palearctic migrants were recorded.Average vegetation height was a good predictor for total bird abundance and bird species richness during dry season. Altitude accounted more in total species richness and bird species abundance during wet season. Though, slope was a good predictor for bird species abundance during dry season. It can be concluded that the patch of forest and its surrounding is an important bird area for migratory, endemic, and global threatened species. Therefore, it should be conservation priority area; hence, the study suggests that conservation together with ecotourism development is needed for its sustainability.

Meeting participants stated that withholding food aid allocation because of lack of utilization reports would be tantamount to punishing the needy. Therefore it was suggested that giving technical support to the concerned Regions on preparing utilization reports can be a solution. However the Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Agency (DPPA), taking note of the suggestion, assured concerned that for hot spot areas food aid is distributed with or out without utilization report.

  • Army Worm Infestation in SNNP and Oromia Regions As of 24 May
    Army worm infestation in SNNP and Oromia Regions As of 24 May, some 8,368 hectares of belg cropland was reportedly destroyed by army worms in Wolayita zone of SNNPR - an area that suffered from late onset of the 2013 belg rains and subsequent heavy rains that damaged belg crops. The damage caused by the army worms will further reduce the expected harvest this season. Similar incidents were also reported from Boricha, Bona Zuria, Dara, Dale, Hawassa Zuria and Loko Abaya woredas of Sidama zone; Loma and Mareka woredas of Dawro zone (SNNPR), as well as from drought prone areas of East and West Hararge zones of Oromia Region; and quickly spreading to neighbouring areas. In Boricha woreda, for example, more than 655 hectares of belg cropland was destroyed in the course of one week, this is indicative of the speed that damage is being caused. Immediate distribution of spraying containers and chemicals to the farmers is required to prevent further loss of belg crops. For more information, contact: [email protected] Health Update The number of meningitis cases has gradually declined since the outbreak was declared in January. To date, 1,371 cases were reported from 24 woredas in five zones of SNNP and Oromia Regions. The Government, with support from health partners, is conducting a reactive vaccination in the affected areas, with 1, 678,220 people vaccinated so far. Next week, the number of people vaccinated during the Addis Ababa City Administration meningitis vaccination campaign, conducted from 20 to 26 May, will be released. Meanwhile, the number of kebeles reporting cases of Yellow Fever in South Ari, Benatsemay and Selmago woredas of South Omo zone, SNNPR, increased.

In Ethiopia, malaria control has been complicated due to resistance of the parasite to the current drugs. Thus, new drugs are required against drug-resistant Plasmodium strains. Historically, many of the present antimalarial drugs were discovered from plants. This study was, therefore, conducted to document antimalarial plants utilized by Sidama people of Boricha District, Sidama Zone, South Region of Ethiopia. An ethnobotanical survey was carried out from September 2011 to February 2012. Data were collected through semistructured interview and field and market observations. Relative frequency of citation (RFC) was calculated and preference ranking exercises were conducted to estimate the importance of the reported medicinal plants in Boricha District.

  • 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.
