Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) is developed for this project to ensure that adverse environmental and social impacts are minimized, mitigated and appropriately compensated for the asset and land that may be lost due to the implementation of the sub-projects. The ESMF details agreed policies, guidelines and procedures that should be followed in implementing the Sub- projects under LLRP in 100 selected Woredas and Kebeles of the project regions. The proper implementation of the ESMF will ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations of the Government of Ethiopia (GoE), relevant World Bank Operational Policies and Procedures and the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) Social, Environment and Climate Assessment Procedures (SECAP). In addition, Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) and Social Assessment (SA) documents have also been prepared to deal with specific concerns related

Received 29 April 2015; Accepted 5 January 2016 This study attempted to assess cattle management and marketing practices in Afar region. 178 household heads were selected and interviewed from three major cattle producing districts, Aysaita, Chifra and Amibara. With an overall average cattle holding of 17.4 heads per household, cattle were kept by 95.5% of the herd owners mainly for milk production. Livestock sale, land rent and crop sale were the first, second and third major income sources for cattle owners of the study area, with index values of 0.455, 0.287 and 0.209, respectively. The major feed resource for livestock in the study area was natural pasture grazing (97.8%). 72.1% of the respondents used rivers as the main water sources for their cattle. 68.7% of the cattle owners sold male cattle at younger age; and 61.5% of them sold female cattle at older age. Most (70.4%) of the producers responded that middlemen were the major buyers of their cattle in the study districts.

  • ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update November 2010 Poor Water
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update November 2010 Poor water availability in the southeast following below-average Oct-Dec rains Key Messages Figure 1. Estimated food security outcomes, October to December 2010 To date, the performance of hageya/deyr rains has been below average as predicted. This has resulted in shortages of pasture and water in the southeastern pastoral and agropastoral parts of the country. Land preparation and planting of transitional crops, mainly sweet potato has been carried out as usual in SNNPR. Performance of these crops will highly depend on the performance of the sapie rains in December that are predicted to be normal to below normal this year. Overall meher season crop harvests (October to January) are expected to be normal to above normal this year, except in areas that were affected by water logging, floods, landslides, dry spells and yellow wheat rust, resulting in an Source: FEWS NET and WFP overall improvement in food security in dominantly meher Figure 2. Estimated food security outcomes, January crop producing parts of the country. to March 2011 Updated food security outlook through March 2011 The period November to March is typically a time of stable food security in Ethiopia given the meher harvest (October to January) which contributes 90 to 95 percent of total annual crop production. With the start of the harvest, staple food prices typically decline, further contributing to the improvement of food security. This year, the overall performance of meher season crops has been average to above average, although localized shocks led to reductions in production in some areas.

  • Foods Tabooed for Pregnant Women in Abala District of Afar Region, Ethiopia
    Hadush et al. BMC Nutrition (2017) 3:40 DOI 10.1186/s40795-017-0159-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Foods tabooed for pregnant women in Abala district of Afar region, Ethiopia: an inductive qualitative study Znabu Hadush1*, Zewdie Birhanu2, Mulugeta Chaka2 and Haylay Gebreyesus3 Abstract Background: Food taboo is contributing substantially to malnutrition for pregnant women by restricting and limiting the frequency and variety of foods most of which are nutritious and easily accessible. The practice is common in developing countries and most of the food taboos in East Africa fall on the women and most unfortunately on the pregnant. Foods of animal products, which are the main sources dietary energy of pastoralist communities, are often prone to the practice of food taboos. Nonetheless, the existence of the practice in Ethiopian pastoralist communities, the communities whose way of life is mostly nomadic and based on tending of herds or flocks, is not investigated yet. Therefore, the current study aimed to explore foods tabooed for pregnant women and the reasons behind the practice if exists in Abala district of Afar region, Ethiopia. Methods: Exploratory qualitative study was conducted inductively involving homogeneous participants in four focus group discussions and eight key informants in individual in-depth interview who were purposively selected in Aballa district from March 1 to 30, 2016. A semi-structured interview guide was used to collect the data. The investigators audiotaped focus group discussions and interviews and then transcribed them verbatim. Finally, the transcribed data were imported to Atlas.ti 7 software for coding. Analysis was done inductively. Triangulation and peer debriefing were applied to assure data quality.

  • Geoheritage and Resilience of Dallol and the Northern Danakil Depression in Ethiopia
    Geoheritage (2020) 12:82 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12371-020-00499-8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Geoheritage and Resilience of Dallol and the Northern Danakil Depression in Ethiopia Viktor Vereb1,2 & Benjamin van Wyk de Vries2 & Miruts Hagos3 & Dávid Karátson1 Received: 22 November 2019 /Accepted: 29 July 2020 # The Author(s) 2020 Abstract The Danakil Depression, located in the northern segment of the Afar rift, is a world-class example of active rifting and the birth of a new ocean. The unique, yet only partially interpreted geothermal system of Dallol in northern Danakil is currently receiving renewed attention by researchers and visitors despite its extreme climate since the recent improvements of infrastructure and the stabilisation of Ethio-Eritrean political relations. Previous studies focused on the general geological description, the economic exploitation of potash reserves and interpretation of the complex hydrothermal processes. Continuing monitoring of geothermal activity has not yet been carried out, and the valorisation of local geoheritage has not accompanied the increased interest of tourists. Here, we present a three-step study in order to demonstrate the unique geological environment and international geoheritage significance of Dallol and Danakil. A three-year-long remote sensing campaign has been done to provide informa- tion on improving the resilience of visitors through interpreted, monthly hazard maps, and on following up the changes of geothermal activity. Over the same time, the first geoheritage assessment of the region for 13 geosites was carried out along with a comparative analysis of three quantitative methods (to evaluate the scientific importance and the geotouristic development potential of the area).
