  • Kanhaiya Kumar Singh a PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS STUDY of ETHIOPIAN FOOTBALL DURING 2008-2018 Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar Singh, Assistant
    International Journal of Physical Education, Health and Social Science (IJPEHSS) ISSN: 2278 – 716X www.ijpehss.org Vol. 7, Issue 1, (2018) Peer Reviewed, Indexed and UGC Approved Journal (48531) Impact Factor 5.02 A PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS STUDY OF ETHIOPIAN FOOTBALL DURING 2008-2018 Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar Singh, Assistant Professor Sports Academy, Bahirdar University, Ethiopia ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to analyse the overall journey of Ethiopian National football at international level as well domestic level in last decade. In order to analyse the fact observation method has been used to collect data. Finding of the study reflects that Ethiopian national football is losing its position and credibility continuously in the last decade. It might be happened due to some socio-political issue the Ethiopian football federation, moreover for FIFA2014 Ethiopian national football team scored total 12 goals and conceded 21 goals and reached up to first qualifying round then Nigeria went to FIFA World Cup 2014. Further for FIFA 2018 (Russia), Ethiopian National Team reached up to second qualifying round and eliminated by COGO. Ethiopian Domestic football leagues are Premier League, Higher League and National League conducted every year, it is important to note that 70% winning position in Premier League went to one team i.e., Saint Gorge FC and rest 30% goes to other 15 playing teams. It clearly shows the lack of competitive balance in the most famous domestic league of a country. At the continent level in Champions League Country best domestic team scored 18th Rank out of 59 teams. In Super League (Winner of Champions League v/s Winners of Confederation Cup) Ethiopian football team has not seen anywhere.

  • Tanzania UAM Case Study 2013
    Tanzania today since the 2010 UAM launch: 13.5 million Tanzanians saw or heard UAM messages during the World Cup 53 private sector partners committed to malaria control efforts 64% of viewers recalled UAM television or radio spots aired during the World Cup 6.6 million Tanzanians took action after watching or hearing UAM PSAs to ensure that their families sleep under a LLIN every night Private sector partners participate in a national launch of Malaria Safe, UAM’s workplace malaria control program, in Dar es Salaam in 2012. Prime Minister Hon. Mizengo Pinda, center, officiated and has actively recruited new partners from diverse sectors. © 2013 Johns Hopkins University • Center for Communication Programs. All rights reserved. Tanzania: A UAM Case Study Malaria is one of Tanzania’s deadliest diseases, accounting for 36% of deaths among children under age five and some 40% of all outpatient visits. Nearly all 46 million Tanzanians are at risk, according to the World Health Organization’s 2012 World Malaria Report. The National Malaria Control Program reports that ap- proximately 14 to 18 million malaria cases occur in Tanzania per year. Of those, 60,000 end in death. To combat rampant malaria, Tanzania has distributed 26.4 million nets since 2010. In 2011, a universal coverage campaign set out to cover every sleeping space with a long-lasting insecticide-treated net, and a keep-up campaign is now underway. Pregnant women and infants receive free nets through a national voucher scheme. Other malaria commdities such as rapid diagnostic tests and subsidized ACTs are being scaled up, but additional resources and continued behavior change communication is needed to sustain these gains.
