ETHIOPIA: MENINGITIS EPIDEMIC 2001 This Final Report Is Intended for Reporting on Emergency Appeals Appeal No
3 December, ETHIOPIA: MENINGITIS EPIDEMIC 2001 This Final Report is intended for reporting on emergency appeals Appeal No. 12/01 Launched on: March 2001 for 3 months for CHF 1,006,787 DREF Allocated: CHF 200,000 (entirely reimbursed) Beneficiaries: 1.5 million Period covered: March - October 2001; last Operations Update (no. 2) issued on 11 June 2001) “At a glance” Appeal coverage: 91% Related Appeals: 01.13/2001 - 2001 Ethiopia annual Summary/Update: This programme, launched to assist the Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS) to respond to a meningitis outbreak, has achieved the intended objectives. A final payment from ECHO remains pending but is expected shortly, and this will cover the small deficit currently reflected in the attached final financial report. Operational Developments: Ethiopia lies in the African Meningitis Belt which extends from the Red Sea in the east to the Atlantic ocean in the west. It has suffered major epidemics of meningococcal meningitis, a bacteria disease of the central nervous system, in 1981 when there were 50,000 cases and nearly a thousand deaths and in 1989 when there 46,000 cases and 1,700 deaths. Between June and August in 2000, there was an outbreak in Addis Ababa with over 850 cases and 33 deaths. Major epidemics usually occur every 8 to 12 years. This epidemic started in October 2000 in Quarit Woreda in West Gojam in Amhara Region and over a period of several months spread throughout the country. It reached its peak in week 22 of the epidemic (5-11 March 2001) when 724 cases were reported although a decrease in the number of cases week on week was reversed in week 29 (23-29 April 2001) when a lower peak was reached. -

(IJVHSR) ISSN 2332-2748 a Survey on the Prevalence of Bovine T
OPEN ACCESS https://scidoc.org/IJVHSR.php International Journal of Veterinary Health Science & Research (IJVHSR) ISSN 2332-2748 A Survey on the Prevalence of Bovine Trypanosomosis in Bahir Dar Zuria and Bure Woreda, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia Research Article Shemsia M* Bahir Dar Animal Health Diagnostic and Investigation Laboratory, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. Abstract A study was conducted from November 2007 to April 2008 in Bahir Dar zuria woreda of tsetse free and Bure woreda of tsetse infested area of Amhara region of Northwest Ethiopia to investigate the prevalence of trypanosomosis in cattle. In each study area randomly selected cattle were sampled and their blood investigated using parasitological methods. The diagnostic techniques used include PCV (packed cell volume) to measure the degree of anaemia, heamatocrit centrifugation techniques (buffy coat examination) and thin smear. A total of 600 cattle (300 from Bahir Dar zuria woreda and 300 from Bure woreda) were sampled. Among them 80 cattle 45 (15%) in Bure woreda and 35 (11.66%) in Bahir Dar zuria were positive for trypano- some infection. The species of trypanosome infected during the study were Trypanosoma vivax (64%) and Trypanosoma congolense (36%) in Bure woreda but only Trypanosoma vivax (100%) were found in Bahir Dar zuria woreda. No significance difference in susceptibility was seen between male and female but significant differences in infection rate were observed between ages. Trypanosome infections were mainly due to Trypanosoma vivax and the significantly reduced the average packed cell volume and the body condition of the animals. The study revealed that trypanosomosis in cattle is an important disease in Amhara region of Northwest Ethiopia. -

Obstetric needs are a health problem that needs Emergency Obstetric intervention. The assessment of Unmet Obstetric Need has never been articulated in studies conducted on Emergency Obstetric Care in the study area. This study identies gap and decit of Major Obstetric Intervention for Absolute Maternal Indication in relation to the existing need. Method A one year facility based cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted from July 8/2017- July 7/2018 G.C on mothers who delivered with Major Obstetric Intervention (Absolute Maternal Indication and non-Absolute Maternal Indication) at Debre Berhan Referral Hospital. Data was collected using structured and pre-tested format by four midwife trained data collectors from patient medical records. Rates of major obstetric interventions performed for absolute maternal indications among all expected births was calculated to assess unmet obstetric need. Training and using structured format were used to ensure the data quality in addition to supervision. Result A total of 363 major obstetric interventions were conducted in the study area. -

Impact of Khat Production on Household Welfare in Amhara Region of Ethiopia
Impact of khat production on household welfare in Amhara region of Ethiopia by Hanna Lynn Ruder B.S., Kansas State University, 2016 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Agricultural Economics College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2018 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Benjamin Schwab Copyright © Hanna Ruder 2018. Abstract Khat, a lucrative cash crop cultivated in and near the Horn of Africa, is gaining the interest of researchers around the globe. Despite its potential to provide excess income, economic opportunity, and access to technology to those who produce it, the conflicting legal status around the globe causes policy and trade disputes between countries. Research on the impact of khat production on household welfare is sparse. To address this, the purpose of this research is to determine what factors affect the decision to grow khat and subsequently determine the impact of khat production on labor, income, education expenditure, and food security. Data was extracted from a survey conducted in early 2017. A total of 365 households in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia were surveyed. We estimate the factors affecting the decision to grow khat by employing use of two logit models and one linear probability model to calculate marginal effects. We estimate the impact of khat production on labor, income, education expenditure, and food security through propensity score matching. Khat production appears to be adopted by households who are educated and apt to adopt improved technologies. These households are likely to own a donkey, own irrigation, and own more plots than a non-producing household. -
