JUNE 2021 1 1. GENERAL 1.1 Project Information Title of the Project: Humanitarian Basic Social Services and Sanitation for IDP Returnees; Improvement of Sanitation Facilities and Renovation of Schools for IDP Returnees; Project Assignment: Supply & Installation of Photovoltaic Power System; Beneficiaries: IDP returnees found in the Sasiga woreda of East Welega in Oromia regional state. 400 students and around 20 teachers; Education and Health Ministries and their lower level offices which includes regional bureau, zone departments and woreda offices; Location: Lalisa Wata School -Sasiga Woreda, East Welega zone of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia Donor: Government of Japan Implementer: UNOPS-ETOH 1.2 Background The Joint Oromia and Benishangul Gumuz regional states proposal submitted to the UN Durable Solutions Initiative reported that about 13 schools have been destroyed by conflict in Welega zones. Sasiga woreda belongs to one of the woredas in East Welega Zone of Oromia region, which was highly affected by the security problem and has hosted the largest Internally Displaced People (IDP) returnees. Reports from the Oromia region Education Bureau indicated that four primary schools are completely damaged in Sasiga Woreda alone and around 1,000 primary school children are reported to be out of school due to the conflict and lack of school facilities to pursue their education. One of the major challenges faced by the humanitarian support community while trying to resettle the IDPs into their place of origin has been the inadequacy and unavailability of social infrastructure like schools, clinics and sanitation facilities, which were destroyed by the conflict.

Dept. of Nuclear Physics, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam -530003, INDIA. 2. 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.
