In imperial days the area fell under the category of balabbat land before it was converted into a madbet of the Crown Prince. After its 'discovery' it was declared a protected forest. Anabe is some 30 kms to the west of the town of Gerba, which is on the Kombolcha-Bati road. Until recently the rough road from Gerba was completed only up to the market town of Adame, from which it took three hours' walk to the forest. A road built by local people -- with European Union funding now makes the forest accessible in a four-wheel drive vehicle.

    EMERGENCIES UNIT FOR UNITED NATIONS ETHIOPIA (UN-EUE) Cheffa Valley: refuge for 50,000 pastoralists and 200,000 animals Present humanitarian situation and livestock conditions in selected areas in and around Afar region Assessment Mission: 21- 26 July 2002 By Francois Piguet, UN-Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia 1 Introduction and background The mission’s major objective was to assess the humanitarian situation and livestock condition in selected surrounding areas of Afar region and in the Cheffa valley (Oromiya zone, Amhara region). The mission also cross-checked the situation in Afar region zone 5 and the Argobba special woreda (Afar region zone 3), from where unusual pastoralists movements started in January 2002. The assessment focused on animal condition, migration, marketing conditions and terms of trade, food availability and the nutritional situation in pastoralist settlements, particularly availability of milk. The mission hoped to get a better understanding of pastoralist stress migration and coping mechanisms in the western border zones with the Amhara highlands. During the field trip the following areas were visited: Adadlehangeg Sinkinamelket kebele in Simurobi Gele’Alo woreda (zone 5, Afar region), Cheffa Valley with temporary Afar settlements (Photo by Yves Guinand, UN- EUE, June 1999) Bati woreda (Oromiya zone, Amhara region), Telalak and Dewe woredas (zone 5, Afar region), Dalifage in Artuma woreda (zone 5, Afar region) Kemise (Oromiya zone, Amhara region), Showa Robit (North Showa, Amhara region) and Gacheni in Argobba special woreda (zone 3, Afar Region). Except Fursi woreda still located off-road, the four other woredas of zone 5, Afar region were visited. South-western areas in Afar Region: zone 5 as well as Dulecha close to Argobba woreda in zone 3, Afar pastoralists are usually moving to the western escarpment (Oromiya zone in Amhara Region and North Showa) and/or to Zone 3, along the Awash River.

Thus, local farming communities, Development Agents (DA), Agriculture and Natural resource, Forest and Environmental Protection Officials & Experts are the participant of this study. The study employed descriptive survey research design and both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collections were employed. To assess community environmental awareness survey questionnaire questions (both open and close ended) were distributed for 240 sample respondents. An interview with10 Key informant interviews were also conducted with the head of natural resource management offices of selected woredas and six development agents (DA) in sample selected kebeles and four focus group discussions (FDG) consisted of 10 members were also employed to collect qualitative data.The findings show that all the respondents aware of forest and natural resource degradation about (87%) and (75.4%) were aware of clearing of forest to expand farmland for growing population and cutting trees for fuel wood, charcoal and other forest productsrespectively.

  • Household Constraints on Schooling by Gender: Empirical Evidence from Ethiopia1
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by IDS OpenDocs HOUSEHOLD CONSTRAINTS ON SCHOOLING BY GENDER: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM ETHIOPIA1 Pauline Rose and Samer Al-Samarrai2 IDS Working Paper 56 Summary Using data collected during school-based surveys in two regions in Ethiopia, bivariate and multivariate analysis has been carried out to identify some of the important constraints to primary schooling. Problems in obtaining a representative sample of children not in school for this type of analysis are identified, and allowances are made for these problems, where possible. The results provide some evidence that well-nourished children from wealthier households whose mother and father are literate are more likely to attend and complete primary school. Furthermore, starting school at the official starting age of seven years and not repeating a grade increases the chances of completion. For children living within the vicinity of the school, opportunity costs do not appear to have a significant impact on the probability of attending or completing school, although girls in and out of school have a heavier work burden, relative to boys. Whilst similar factors are found to influence the probability of both boys and girls attending and completing school in the sample, their impact on girls is greater – undernourished girls from households lacking possessions, whose parents are illiterate, are 20 per cent less likely to attend school and 16 per cent less likely to complete school compared to a boy with these characteristics. Starting school above the official age and repeating a grade are also shown to reduce the chances of girls completing school by a slightly greater amount than boys.

Seka (Saka, Sakka, Saqqa) (historical) 07/36? [x] 1500s Sharka is probably the Sarka mentioned in the wars ot Amde Tsiyon. It may have been part of the kingdom of Enariya whose capital was Saka. However, Sarsa Dengel on his way to attack Muhammad of Adal in 1577 passed through Sharka, which would place it just east of Hadya. [J S Trimingham 1952 p 73] 1800s The so-called capital of Enarea (Enariya) was described as a town of 10,000 to 12,000 people in the 1830s, with at least a few hundred Muslim Ulama. The town was in fact made up of groups of small hamlets, in the centre of which was a market village where merchants from the north had probably lived since the beginning of the century. This market village constantly expanded and contracted with the arrival and departure of caravans. The caravans from the north usually stayed in Seka no more than two months in order to conclude all their business and be able to return to Basso before the rainy season. [Abir 1968 p 81, 85] The Seka market had important trade in gold, coffee and ivory. In the mid or late 1830s Abba Bagibo forbade foreign merchants to go beyond Seka, so the merchants from Gondar, Adwa, Derita and Dawe were forced to meet their counterparts from Kefa, Kulo, and the south at Seka only.

  • Long-Term Effects of Childhood Work on Human Capital Formation, Migration Decisions, and Earnings in Rural Ethiopia
    Zentrum für Entwicklungsforschung Long-term effects of childhood work on human capital formation, migration decisions, and earnings in rural Ethiopia Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades Doktor der Agrarwissenschaften (Dr.agr.) der Landwirtschaftlichen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn von Essa Chanie Mussa aus Awi, Äthiopien Bonn 2018 Angefertigt mit Genehmigung der Landwirtschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Bonn Referent: Prof. Dr. Joachim von Braun Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Thomas Heckelei Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 10.10. 2018 Long-term effects of childhood work on human capital formation, migration decisions, and earnings in rural Ethiopia Abstract In Ethiopia, a quarter of children are child laborers, of which one in every three works full-time. Currently, more children than ever before also combine schooling with work. In addition, although net primary school enrollment increased three-fold—to almost 90 percent over the last decade, more than half of these children drop out of school to join the labor market before completing their primary education. As a result, lower educational attainment, high illiteracy rates, and low technical skills continue to characterize the Ethiopian labor force. Lower human capital has also hampered the development in the rural and agricultural sector, which employs about three-quarters of the labor force. Therefore, this study examines the consequences of childhood work participation on children’s long-term human capital formation (schooling progression), their migration decisions, and adulthood earnings in rural Ethiopia. In so doing, it contributes to a very limited literature on the long-term penalties of childhood work on outcomes later in life from a developing country perspective.
