Let others know that this region is ours.” - Emperor Menelik II Abstract On March 1st, 1896, an Ethiopian army lead by Emperor Menelik II dealt a shocking defeat to the invading Italian forces in the Battle of Adwa. In victory, Menelik was able to exert his authority over a vast territory which included both the historical, ancient kingdoms of the northern and central parts of Ethiopia, and also the vast, resource-rich territories in the west and south which he had earlier conquered. The egalitarian nature of the victory united the various peoples of Ethiopia against a common enemy, giving Menelik the opportunity to create a new Ethiopian nation.

  • Ethiopia: Improving Food Security
    Revised Appeal no: ETHIOPIA: IMPROVING 28/02 8 November 2002 FOOD SECURITY The Federation’s mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity. It is the world’s largest humanitarian organization and its millions of volunteers are active in 178 countries. For more information: www.ifrc.org IN BRIEF THIS REVISED APPEAL SEEKS A TOTAL OF CHF 16,163,000 (USD 10,802,700 or EUR 11,010,218) IN CASH, KIND AND SERVICES TO ASSIST 120,500 BENEFICIARIES FOR 14 MONTHS Summary In 2000, Ethiopia experienced one of its most severe droughts since 1984. While the rains were relatively favourable in 2001, the belg rains have failed in large parts of the country in 2002 thereby drastically increasing the number of people that have to rely on emergency aid. The Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS) and the Federation, coordinating closely with the governmental Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Commission (DPPC) and the UN and other humanitarian actors and agencies, plan to start an assistance program in South Wollo and West Hareghe in November 2002. The long-term strategy of the ERCS and the Federation is to immediately respond to the needs of the people through the activities outlined in this Appeal. While an assessment mission, that was carried out in August, resulted in a preliminary appeal seeking the funds to assist 35 000 people in Ambassel woreda in South Wollo, a second assessment was carried out in October, now confirming the situation and specifying more detailed beneficiary requirements. CHF 50,000 was allocated from the Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to start the operation and a total of 200 000 CHF have been pledged as a response to the preliminary appeal.

Received 8 November, 2016; Accepted 24 January, 2017 Invasive alien weed species; are non-indigenous species that have adverse economic, environment and ecological effects on habitats where they have been introduced, either accidentally or deliberately, outside their normal past or present distribution. The objective of this study was to determine the distribution and abundance of emerging invasive weeds in West Shewa and East Wollega Zones of Western Oromia. The biophysical survey was conducted by stopping along main and sub-roads accessible for, vehicle at 8 to10km interval. At each stop a 20m by 20m area was used to determine distribution and abundance of the invasive weeds. Five major emerging invasive weeds i.e Senna occidentalis, Senna didymobotrya, Xanthium spinosum and Carduus spp, Cirsium spp were identified as, important emerging invader species in the study area. Infestation of these weeds was mostly observed on roadsides, around human habitations, in pasture and waste lands and even crop fields.

  • Livelihood Zones Analysis Ethiopia
    Improved livelihoods for smallholder farmers LIVELIHOOD ZONES ANALYSIS A tool for planning agricultural water management investments Ethiopia Prepared by Dr. Girma Medhin in consultation with FAO, 2011 About this report The AgWater Solutions Project aimed at designing agricultural water management (AWM) strategies for smallholder farmers in sub Saharan Africa and in India. The project was managed by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and operated jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI) and International Development Enterprise (IDE). It was implemented in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia and in the States of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal in India. Several studies have highlighted the potential of AWM for poverty alleviation. In practice, however, adoption rates of AWM solutions remain low, and where adoption has taken place locally, programmes aimed at disseminating these solutions often remain a challenge. The overall goal of the project was to stimulate and support successful pro-poor, gender-equitable AWM investments, policies and implementation strategies through concrete, evidence-based knowledge and decision-making tools. The project has examined AWM interventions at the farm, community, watershed, and national levels. It has analyzed opportunities and constraints of a number of small-scale AWM interventions in several pilot research sites across the different project countries, and assessed their potential in different agro-climatic, socio-economic and political contexts. This report was prepared as part of the efforts to assess the potential for AWM solutions at national level. The livelihood zones analysis divides the country in a series of areas where rural people share relatively homogeneous living conditions on the basis of a combination of biophysical and socio-economic determinants.
