Field Report on REDD+ DA Training: - Training on forest nursery & plantation establishment and mgt (Gimbi Cluster; West Wollega(Nole kaba and Sayo Nole woreda.) Submitted by: 1. Bikila Asfawu October, 2018 Gimbi Training Report on :- REDD+ DA Training: - training on forest nursery establishment & plantation establishment & mgt REDD+ DA training on forest nursery establishment & plantation establishment &mgt Trainin g title Brief Present the executive summary: - over view Oromia Environment, Forest and Climate change Authority and/or Oromia REDD+ Coordinating Unit (OEFCCA/ORCU) coordinates day-to-day implementation of REDD+ related activities across sectors of forestry. ORCU is currently administratively housed at Oromia Environment, Forest and Climate Change and conducting Oromia Forested Landscape program (OFLP) where A/R and PFM activities has strong role for the REDD+ performance indicators . For this case providing training on forest nursery ​ establishment & plantation establishment & mgt was aimed to be an important to enhance the capacity of ​ local and sub-regional expertise to conduct forest management and monitoring activities regularly. For this case two Woredas Nole Kaba and Sayo Nole Woreda DA’s where participated on forest ​ nursery &plantation establishment and mgt .from those woredas community were under stood about the ​ goal and aim of the program me to participate accordingly.in other hand the activity of A/R and PFM carried out at their surrounding was the great chance for their utilization from forest locally & globally. for this case the establishment of plantation need the great carry and mgt starting from nursery site to plantation therefore the development agent were conducted practically and theoretically while training. ​ Over The overall objective of this training is:- ​ all objec - To enhance the capacity of the DA and Woreda experts / staffs in management & tive monitoring of forest and forest related REDD+ activities of OFLP.

UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research, Trace element lab, Salt Lake, Kolkata 700 098, India Abstract: Using Energy Dispersive X-ray Florescence (EDXRF) Elemental analysis, Coffee cherry of Arabica subspecies produced in crop years of 2015/2016 in nine different parts of coffee growing Area in Ethiopa were analyzed and has been found four major elements P, K, Ca, S and eight minor elements Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Sr, Rb, Br from Twenty coffee Arabica subspecies. The Samples were washed; dried; Grinding with mortar and finally pelletized. EDXRF analysis were carried the energies of the X-rays emitted by the sample are measured using a Si- semiconductor detector and are processed by a pulse height analyzer. Computer analysis of this data yields an energy spectrum which defines the elemental composition of the sample. The system detection calibration and accuracy check was performed through different countries reported values and analysis of NIST certified reference materials SRM 1515 (Apple leaves). Most of coffee beans sample were found to be a good agreements towards NIST standards and different countries reported values. Meanwhile discussed the elemental concentration and their biological effects on human physiology. Keywords: Coffee Cherry,IJSER Subspecies coffee, Elemental Concentration and EDXRF 1.

  • Heading with Word in Woodblock
    Oromia Region, Area brief Regional Overview Oromia (sometimes spelled Oromiya, in the Oromo language) is one of the nine regions of Ethiopia. The 2007 census reported its population at over 28 million, making it the largest state in terms of both population and area. Oromia shares a boundary with every Region of Ethiopia except for the Tigray Region. With an estimated area of 353,006.81 square kilometers, this region has an estimated population density of 76.93 people per square kilometer. The region includes the former major Ethiopian provinces Arsi, Bale, Hararghe, Illubabor, Kaffa, Shewa, Sidamo, and Welega provinces. Its current capital is officially Addis Ababa (Oromo: Finfinne). Administratively, Adama serves as a center for the regional state. Other important cities and towns include Adama, Ambo, Asella, Bishoftu, Dembidolo, Fiche, Gimbi, Goba, Jimma, Metu, Negele Boran, Nekemte, Shashamane and Waliso. The Regional infant mortality rate is 76 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, similar to the nationwide average of 77; at least half of these deaths occurr in the infants’ first month of life. Low latrine coverage and little awareness of basic hygiene practices across many parts of the region are having a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of children and their families. In view of the above Save the Children in collaboration with the government and other key allies’ works to achieve MDG 4 and 5 by reducing maternal, newborn and child deaths. As part of our EVERYONE campaign we work to raise awareness in communities about safe delivery and child caring practices. We also work with relevant partners to improve the WASH services and practices at household and facility level.

  • Shelter and Non-Food Assessment of East and West Wollega Zone, Oromia Regional State
    Shelter and Non-Food Assessment of East and West Wollega Zone, Oromia Regional State Date: February 26, 2019 1.0 Executive Summary The Shelter/NFI Cluster in coordination with IOM, CRS, NDRMC, GOAL, and NRC carried out a Shelter/NFI needs assessment between Feb 4 and Feb 1, 2019, with the aim to better inform humanitarian response planning and delivery of the IDPs in West and East Wollega, Oromia. The findings include: ▪ In East Wollega, 95% of the IDPs are settled in collective sites such as youth centres, multipurpose buildings, and temporary shelters while the rest are living with the host community. ▪ In West Wollega, 90% of the IDPs are residing in collective sites and the remaining (10%) are living with the host community either renting or accommodated by families and friends. ▪ Over 63% of IDPs in collective centres and temporary shelters are living in congested conditions, furthermore; lack of privacy, exposure to weather, and unavailability of light in the sites are their main concerns. ▪ In West Wollega all respondent cited Emergency Shelter Kit as their first priority followed by Kitchen and Bedding Sets. Whilst in East Wollega all respondents stated Bedding sets as their first priority followed by Kitchen set. 1 2.0 Geographical Area The needs assessment is focused on 12 most affected woredas in East and West Wollega. The prioritization of woreda is guided by the number of IDPs verse the local population and organization presence providing Shelter/NFIs. The five most affected woreda in East Wollega, Nekemte, Sassiga, Haro Limu and Diga were visited by the assessment team, however; out of the 12 priorities woredas in West Wollega, only seven are accessible.

  • Benishangul-Gumuz Region
    Situation Analysis of Children and Women: Benishangul-Gumuz Region Situation Analysis of Children and Women: Benishangul-Gumuz Region ABSTRACT The Situation Analysis covers selected dimensions of child well-being in Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State. It builds on the national Situation Analysis of Children and Women in Ethiopia (2019) and on other existing research, with inputs from specialists in Government, UNICEF Ethiopia and other partners. It has an estimated population of approximately 1.1 million people, which constitutes 1.1% of the total Ethiopian population. The population is young: 13 per cent is under-five years of age and 44 per cent is under 18 years of age. Since 1999/00, Benishangul-Gumuz has experienced an impressive 28 percentage point decline in monetary poverty, but 27 per cent of the population are still poor; the second highest in the country after Tigray and higher than the national average of 24 per cent. SITUATION ANALYSIS OF CHILDREN AND WOMEN: BENISHANGUL-GUMUZ REGION 4 Food poverty continued a steep decline from 55 per cent in 1999/00 to 24 per cent in 2015/16; close to the national average of 25 per cent. In Benishangul-Gumuz, in 2014, only 1.1 per cent of rural households were in the PSNP compared to 11 per cent of households at the national level In 2011, the under-five mortality rate in Benishangul-Gumuz was the highest in Ethiopia (169 per 1,000 live births); this declined significantly, but is still very high: 96 deaths per 1,000 births, which is the second highest in the country after Afar.
