Enga le Enga Youth Center Wednesday, June 29, 2011 PHE project activity, Abiyata The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) made its first stop at Abiyata lake to visit project activities of the Sustainable Environment and Development Action (SEDA), a local NGO, member of the Population, Health, and Environment (PHE) Ethiopia Consortium. The visiting group drove over a wide field of what used to be part of the Abiyata lake. TAC members were briefed by a representative of SEDA that over the years the lake had shrunk by 8 kms. Due to rapid population increase around the area, trees have been cut down for fuel wood, homestead construction and for farming; rainfall has decreased and these have negatively impacted on the lake. Talking to an elderly man living in the area, the TAC learned that the number of family planning users was insignificant in the area and households have large families. Most of the children spend their time herding cattle instead of going to school. It was further explained that though there are two Health Extension Workers (HEW) in the area since the kebele is vast and households are located far apart, the HEWs have difficulty to get to all the households. Ato Tilahun Giday, Country Representative of Pathfinder, informed SEDA that IFHP works in this area and it is important that they work in partnership with IFHP. Large family size is having obvious impact on the environment which in turn is impacting on the lives of the community around Abiyata. 3 Zonal Health Department, Shashemene The visiting group then travelled to Shashemene, for briefing the work of the West Arsi Zone Health Department (ZHD) and the IFHP Cluster Office of West Arsi. Ato Mesfin Negiussie, IFHP Oromia Regional Program Manager, welcomed the group and Ato Tilahun Giday explained to the ZHD the purpose of the TAC visit and the composition of the TAC. Ato Teshale Deressa, Shashemene IFHP Cluster Office Coordinator then briefed the group on IFHP’s work in the area. He explained that IFHP Oromia supports the Ethiopian government health program by closely working with the health offices at the different levels. This was then followed by a briefing given by Ato Hirpa Miacha, Deputy Head of the ZHD, on the health profile of the West Arsi Zone. The Zone consists of 13 woredas and 365 kebeles (331 being rural kebeles) and the health program supports a population of over two million. Health services are provided through one district hospital, 66 Health Centers, 314 Health Posts and 67 clinics. Including HEWs, there are 1,883 health professionals providing health services in the Zone. Ato Hirpa went on to explain achievement gained in the health sector by referring to performance of the last five years. For instance, ANC reached 112% as compared to 54% in 2006/07. Similarly PNC reached from 15% to 64%, Delivery from 9% to 33%, latrine construction from 42% to 94% and family planning services from 18% to 43%. Improvements are due to the hard work of HEWs which again have been assisted by IFHP’s capacity building training, it was explained. Nonetheless, the good work is not without challenges which was stated to be lack of manpower in Health Centers and furnishing the Centers for proper functioning. Problems of transportation and staff turnover were also said to be additional challenges. The briefings were then followed by discussion where several issues were raised. As a result of IFHP’s comprehensive operation in the Zone and committed HEWs and Volunteers helped in significantly improving health seeking behaviors of communities. The ZHD stated that IFHP is one of their strong partners with whom they work very closely and which is in fact, considered as one department within the ZHD. The IFHP Cluster Office is actually co-hosting with the ZHD. A TAC member commented that the figures on HIV/AIDS are misleading in that they could imply that HIV/AIDS prevalence is decreasing. It was explained that the figures refer to the number of HIV positive people only from those receiving VCT services. Regarding figures on delivery services reference is made to institutional delivery which includes those assisted by HEWs carried out in the Health Posts. 4 Regarding family planning services it was explained that priority for the provision of Implanon training of HEWs are based on a set of criteria, i.e. the area must be densely populated, must be food insecure area and an area where there is high demand for the service. In addition, it is necessary that there is a functional health posts in the area. However, the plan is to gradually reach all HEWs in all kebeles of the country making long acting family planning service available to all. Following a suggestion of training religious leaders in community mobilization and behavioral change, it was explained that since HEWs work closely with religious leaders this is already being practiced. Explaining low performance of PMTCT, it was stated that other partner organizations such as Intra Health are working on this more extensively and IFHP contributes to that effort. PMTCT service is part of IFHP’s program learning initiative and thus is working on only 28 health centers from among 243 health centers it supports. Nonetheless, based on results attained so far the service is planned to be scaled up. In response to a concern stated regarding contribution made towards improving emergency obstetrics care, it was explained that the government has initiated accelerated midwifery training. This training helps not only in responding to the need in emergency obstetrics care, but also in increasing skilled birth attendants. This in turn means increasing the number of institutional deliveries. Thursday, June 30, 2011 Adaba Woreda Health Office The TAC was welcomed by the Adaba Woreda Administration and its health office staff. Ato Tesfaye Wakjira, Woreda Administrator in his welcoming speech informed the visiting group that the Health Extension Program implemented by HEWs has helped bring about significant improvements in reducing maternal, newborn and child mortality in the 24 (especially 22 rural) kebeles of Adaba Woreda. Basic health services being accessible to all has brought about great improvements in health practices of communities. As a result Adaba has been awarded as the best performing woredas in the West Arsi Zone. Nonetheless, there are problems of availability of water, infrastructure (e.g. roads) creating difficulties in transportation, etc. Ato Jibril Gelemo, Woreda Health Office Head, stated that the Health Office serves a population of 155,264 from among which 32,731 households have graduated as model families. While six health centers provide health services to the population there are 178 health professionals (92 male and 86 female) which includes 46 HEWs. Family planning coverage has reached 40% due to improved behavioral change as a result of community 5 conversation sessions. HIV/AIDS awareness has also significantly improved through this conversation forum where uptake of VCT services has increased. Ato Jibril said that there is strong linkage among the Woreda Health Office, Health Centers and Health Posts. Each Woreda Health Office staff is assigned to one Health Center to closely support and supervise. Again Health Center staff are assigned to Health Posts. TAC members observed that the distance between health centers and health posts is challenging especially considering the breath of kebeles and the distance of each kebele from the Woreda Health Office. The Woreda Health Office informed the TAC that distance between any two health facilities is on average 6 kms. The existence of only two motor bikes in the Woreda does not really help the situation. This challenge becomes more apparent when staff of the Woreda Health Office go out for monitoring and supervision tasks which they state could take a full month to accomplish. It was commented that training and graduating model households is important not only because it ensures diffusion of beneficial health practices but that it is also a way of ensuring male involvement in family health matters.

    Forest conservation for communities and carbon: the economics of community forest management in the Bale Mountains Eco-Region, Ethiopia Charlene Watson May 2013 Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy London School of Economics and Political Science 1 Declaration of work This thesis is the result of my own work except where specifically indicated in the text and acknowledgements. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. Photos are the authors own, as are the figures generated. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. May 2013 2 Abstract Forest conservation based on payments anchored to opportunity costs (OCs) is receiving increasing attention, including for international financial transfers for reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD+). REDD+ emerged as a payment for environmental service (PES) approach in which conditional payments are made for demonstrable greenhouse gas emission reductions against a business-as-usual baseline. Quantitative assessments of the OCs incurred by forest users of these reductions are lacking. Existing studies are coarse, obscure the heterogeneity of OCs and do not consider how OCs may change over time. An integrated assessment of OCs and carbon benefits under a proposed community forest management (CFM) intervention linked to REDD+ is undertaken in Ethiopia. The OCs of land for the intervention are estimated through household survey and market valuation. Scenarios explore how OCs are likely to change over the intervention given qualitative conservation goals and available land-use change information.

  • Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group
    DRMTechnical Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group Covering 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2016 Prepared by Clusters and NDRMC Introduction The El Niño global climactic event significantly affected the 2015 meher/summer rains on the heels of failed belg/ spring rains in 2015, driving food insecurity, malnutrition and serious water shortages in many parts of the country. The Government and humanitarian partners issued a joint 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) in December 2015 requesting US$1.4 billion to assist 10.2 million people with food, health and nutrition, water, agriculture, shelter and non-food items, protection and emergency education responses. Following the delay and erratic performance of the belg/spring rains in 2016, a Prioritization Statement was issued in May 2016 with updated humanitarian requirements in nutrition (MAM), agriculture, shelter and non-food items and education.The Mid-Year Review of the HRD identified 9.7 million beneficiaries and updated the funding requirements to $1.2 billion. The 2016 HRD is 69 per cent funded, with contributions of $1.08 billion from international donors and the Government of Ethiopia (including carry-over resources from 2015). Under the leadership of the Government of Ethiopia delivery of life-saving and life- sustaining humanitarian assistance continues across the sectors. However, effective humanitarian response was challenged by shortage of resources, limited logistical capacities and associated delays, and weak real-time information management. This Periodic Monitoring Report (PMR) provides a summary of the cluster financial inputs against outputs and achievements against cluster objectives using secured funding since the launch of the 2016 HRD.

  • ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook January to June 2011
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook January to June 2011 Following the meher harvest, which began in October Figure 1. Current estimated food security outcomes, 2010, food security has generally improved in the January 2011 meher producing parts of the country. However, due to crop damage caused by widespread floods and other weather related shocks the meher harvest is likely to be lower than initially anticipated. The Humanitarian Requirement Documents outlining assistance needs is expected to be released in February 2011. Although the National Meteorology Agency has not provided a forecast for the April to June gu/genna/belg rains, below normal performance of these rains is considered likely. This is expected to exacerbate prevailing food insecurity which resulted from near complete failure of October to December rains in southern pastoral and agro pastoral areas. Due to close to normal sapie (December/January) 2010 rains food security among the dominant root crop, For more information on FEWS NET’s Food Insecurity Severity Scale, please see: www.fews.net/FoodInsecurityScale mainly sweet potatoes growing areas in central and eastern SNNPR is estimated to remain stable Source: FEWS NET and WFP throughout the outlook period. The poor and very poor households normally rely on these harvests, during the March to May lean season.
