3.5.2 Socio-Economy for the Categorization of the 64 Food FINAL REPORT 3.5.2 Socio-economy For the categorization of the 64 food insecure Woredas, the following aspects were considered in this report, from the viewpoints of the socio-economic situations. - Demographic data: Main indicators of human activities - Road, electrification and rural water supply data: Main indicators of economic infrastructure - Education and health data: Main indicators of basic human needs conditions - Roof material and associations data: Main indicators of rural society Due to the division and establishment of new Woredas (e.g. Aregoba Woreda was established in June 2006, divided from Kalu Woreda. Also the former Bugena Woreda was recently divided into two Woredas, namely Bugena and Lasta.), some Woreda data couldn’t be chronologically compared. In such cases, the total and/or average of the former Woreda data were used for the comparison. (1) Demography 1) Urban and Rural Population In 2007, population and housing census was conducted and its summary data were available by Woreda. Among the 64 food insecure Woredas, there were nine Woredas (Abergelie, Gazgibela, Sehala, Telemt, Bugena, Aregoba Special, Dessie Zuria, Mehal Sayint, and Menze Lalo Mider) where there were no urban population. Because the urban population basically works in the non-agricultural sectors, which means that they are not self-sustenance, they can be considered as a market for agricultural produce. Therefore, the more urban population is there, the more possibilities of farm produce sales are there. In other words, those Woredas with and/or near large urban population have more possibilities of commercial oriented agriculture. The distribution of urban population of the 55 Woredas is shown in the Figure 3.5.6, together with the main roads. The figure clearly indicated that urban population was unevenly distributed within the Study Area. There were more big towns/cities in the northwestern and eastern parts of the Study Area. Also more roads were there on the same Woredas as the figure shown. It is highly possible that the size of urban population closely relates to the presence of major roads. As compared to the urban population, there were not so big size differences in rural population among the 64 Woredas. The top three Woredas with rural population were Simada, Mekete, and Ebinate where more than 200,000 rural residents lived there. There were some Woredas with relatively less rural population in the Wag Himera and North Shewa Zones. (See Figure 3.5.7.) 95 THE DEVELOPMENT STUDY ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF LIVELIHOOD THROUGH INTEGRATED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT IN AMHARA REGION, THE FEDERAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF ETHIOPIA Figure 3.5.6 Urban Population and Roads Distribution by Woreda 96 FINAL REPORT Figure 3.5.7 Rural Population Distribution by Woreda 97 THE DEVELOPMENT STUDY ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF LIVELIHOOD THROUGH INTEGRATED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT IN AMHARA REGION, THE FEDERAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF ETHIOPIA Population increase rates were calculated from the 1994 and 2007 census data. High increase rates of urban population were found in North Gonder and Wag Himera Zones, where urban population became more than three times bigger for this 13-year period. On the other hand, many Woredas in Oromiya, North Shewa Zones and the eastern part of South Wollo Zone had relatively low rates of both urban and rural population increase. Because rural population still dominates in many of the 64 Woredas, the Woredas with high rural population increase rate could be targeted for family planning in the future. (See Figure 3.5.8.) 2) Population Density and Urban Population Rate The average population density of the 64 Woredas is 118 (persons/sq. km), but it varies from 25 (persons/sq. km.) in Sehala to 251 (persons/sq. km.) in Tehulederie. In general, except for Libo Kemkem in South Gonder and Dewa Chefa in Oromiya Zones, many densely populated Woredas were distributed in South and North Wollo Zones. In these Woredas, land resources could be scarcer than other less densely populated Woredas. As for the urban population rate, the Woredas located along the major roads tended to have high rates. In Seqota (inc. Seqota Town Admin.), Bati (inc. Bati Town Admin.), Lasta, Kobo (inc. Kobo Town Admin.), East Belesa, Debark (inc. Debark Town Admin.) and Tehulederie, more than 12% of the total population were urban dwellers, and all of them were along the major roads except for East Belesa. In most Woredas in the western part of South Wollo Zone, urban population rate was still at a low level. This might come from the fact that the area was far from the major roads and surrounded by rivers such as the Blue Nile and the Beshlo. Several Woredas such as Kalu, Libo Kemkem and Tehulederie had high rates of both population density and urban population. This might imply that rural residents started to emigrate from the rural areas to cities/towns because of land scarcity. (See Figure 3.5.9.) 98 99 D. Bati J. FINAL REPORT FINAL Harewa A.

(2) Infrastructure 1) Road Density As the figure indicates in the previous section, there is a trunk road running from south to north in the eastern part of the Study Area. Another trunk road is in the western part, but it crosses only Libo Kemkem Woreda. There are four link roads in the Study Area, and the most important one runs in the center of the Study Area from Woreta to Weldia because it is the only route connecting the central and eastern parts of the ANRS. The road is almost rehabilitated with the finance from International Development Association. There is also one main access road (from Weldia to east connecting to Djibouti) and four collector roads in the Study Area. Furthermore, there are many gravel community roads which mainly connect nearby Woredas. Together with the community road data obtained from Amhara Rural Road Authority (ARRA), the road density was calculated by Woreda.

    Shewayrga and Sopade Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine 2011, 7:19 http://www.ethnobiomed.com/content/7/1/19 JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Ethnobotany, diverse food uses, claimed health benefits and implications on conservation of barley landraces in North Eastern Ethiopia highlands Hailemichael Shewayrga1* and Peter A Sopade2,3 Abstract Background: Barley is the number one food crop in the highland parts of North Eastern Ethiopia produced by subsistence farmers grown as landraces. Information on the ethnobotany, food utilization and maintenance of barley landraces is valuable to design and plan germplasm conservation strategies as well as to improve food utilization of barley. Methods: A study, involving field visits and household interviews, was conducted in three administrative zones. Eleven districts from the three zones, five kebeles in each district and five households from each kebele were visited to gather information on the ethnobotany, the utilization of barley and how barley end-uses influence the maintenance of landrace diversity. Results: According to farmers, barley is the “king of crops” and it is put for diverse uses with more than 20 types of barley dishes and beverages reportedly prepared in the study area. The products are prepared from either boiled/roasted whole grain, raw- and roasted-milled grain, or cracked grain as main, side, ceremonial, and recuperating dishes. The various barley traditional foods have perceived qualities and health benefits by the farmers. Fifteen diverse barley landraces were reported by farmers, and the ethnobotany of the landraces reflects key quantitative and qualitative traits. Some landraces that are preferred for their culinary qualities are being marginalized due to moisture shortage and soil degradation.

Despite the fact that it directly affects 15% of Ethiopians, understanding and policy-relevant studies on disability and the conditions of persons with disabilities are lacking. The Dabat Demographic and Health Surveillance System part of the response to ll this gap. With signicant drawbacks in the Surveillance System, this study aimed at assessing the prevalence, types and major causes of disability in Dabat district. Method A community-based cross-sectional study design was employed and covered 17,000 households residing in 13 Kebeles of Dabat district.
