1 • FEWSNET/WFP's Latest Food Security Update Reports That The ETHIOPIA COUNTRY OFFICE MONTHLY REPORT EMERGENCY AND HUMANITARIAN ACTION (EHA) / ETHIOPIA PROGRAMME May 2009 HIGH LIGHT: • FEWSNET/WFP’s latest food security update reports that the performance of the belg/gu seasonal rains have been below normal so far and, if the rains continue to be poor, a second consecutive below ‐average harvest is expected in the chronically food insecure belg-cropping areas. • Increased cases of malnutrition continue to be reported during the month in many woredas of SNNPR, and East and West Hararghe zones in Oromiya. The nutritional problem in parts of West Arsi, Agarfa and Bale (Oromiya) and Dessie Zuria (Amhara) also remains to be of the main concern. • According to official reports from the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), no case of Influenza A H1N1 has been reported in Ethiopia this month and the situation is being monitored closely. • Reports from FMOH indicated an upsurge of malaria cases from SNNPR, Tigray and Amhara Regions. Information from the Welayita zone in SNNPR indicated about 78,000 clinical cases of malaria have been reported from 3 districts GENERAL SITUATION A, Political, social and security • The overall political and social situation remains stable including the security situation in the country this month. In Somali Region the security situation remained unpredictable.No major security incidents involving humanitarian staff members have been reported and the humanitarian partners continue to do their job without any problem. Main events of interest/ concern for health (including food insecurity and malnutrition, disease outbreak, etc): B. Food insecurity and malnutrition Situation and response in Ethiopia. • FEWSNET/WFP’s latest food security update reports that the performance of the belg/gu seasonal rains have been below normal so far and, if the rains continue to be poor, a second consecutive below ‐average harvest is expected in the chronically food insecure belg-cropping areas. This will further deteriorate the food security situation of both pastoral and agro ‐pastoral populations. Reports of malnutrition continue to increase in SNNPR (Wolayita, Hadiya, Sidama, Kembata Tembaro, Gurage, Gamo Gofa and Dawro zones),Amhara region Dessie Zuria of South Wello and Oromiya (West Arsi, Bale, East and West Hararghe zones). • The reduced relief food ration down from 15 kg to 10 kg and poor belg rains, which had limited the availability of root crops, sweet potato and Enset normally consumed during the lean season, are among the factors contributing to the situation. Close monitoring of the seasonal rains through the end of the season is 1 required. Similarly a significant increases in severe malnutrition in parts of Oromiya, Amhara and Tigray regions (from Goal, CONCERN and World Vision) raised concern for emergency crisis in these chronically food insecure areas. WFP field staffs are on alert and monitoring the situation closely. • The food insecurity situation in the affected areas of SNNPR, Tigray, Amhara, regions and most of Somali including Afar regions has remained unchanged. Vulnerable households in these regions are depending on food relief and safety net resources. This month, admission rates of malnourished children in outreach therapeutic programmes (OTPs) and Stabilization Centers (SC) have increased rapidly and are alarmingly high in some areas of SNNPR. The nutritional situation in SNNPR is further aggravated by the current outbreak of malaria in many low and midland areas where control operations are underway. • Similarly the food security and nutrition situation in Oromiya region has rapidly deteriorated in Siraro, Shalla, Shashemene and Arsi Negele woredas of West Arsi zone. According to the Zonal DPPB, the situation is serious and needs immediate intervention. Screening is ongoing to assess the actual number of malnourished children. New SCs and OTPs are being established in Seraro, Shashemene, Shala and Arsi Negele in West Arsi of Oromiya to cope with the rapidly deteriorating nutritional situation. Over 1000 children have been admitted to OTPs in May. Continuous assistance is critical in these areas during this period due to increased pressure on the households to provide labour for the Belg planting that has commenced following the wide spread rainfall received as of end of May 2009. • Relief assistance to over 68,000 people has been dispatched to west Arsi zone, pending a rapid assessment of the current needs. Meanwhile, food stress indicators are being observed in woredas of Arsi including Munessa, Shirka, Aseko and Seru. A recently deployed joint verification team reported that about 45,000 people are in need of food assistance in the woredas. The Oromia regional government has identified a total of 201,000 additional relief beneficiaries following joint rapid assessment missions this month. Following this situation, the regions’ request for one month food ration for additional beneficiaries has been allocated. • A wide-scale nutrition screening has been completed in West Arsi zone and results are being compiled. Meanwhile, WFP reports that relief rations have been dispatched and targeted supplementary food dispatch will start when the numbers are available. UNICEF supported the Regional Health Bureau implementing the Enhanced Outreach Strategy (EOS) in the five woredas of West Arsi, starting from 25 April 2009. Children under five have been supplemented with one dose of vitamin A and de-wormed. UNICEF also dispatched six tons of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), drugs, and non-food items to the zone. • WFP reports that its relief pipeline is close to breaking, noting that the situation is critical. Only one round of relief distribution is available for the second quarter given the low level of available resources. The limited food balance available after ongoing dispatches will have to be further prioritized. The Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS) available in-country stock stands at 27,947 MT, including 5,034 MT for relief and 22,914 MT Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP). WFP inputs to the national relief programme are short by 177,983 MT (US$155.7million); while inputs to PSNP are short by 53,329 MT (US$46.1 million); Targeted Supplementary Feeding shortfalls are 30,565 MT (US$ 26.5 million). The Ethiopian Food Security Reserve Administration (EFSRA) stock stands at 168,254 MT . 2 Acute Watery Diarrhea(AWD) Situation and Response According to official reports from the Federal Ministry of Health, 625 AWD cases and 20 deaths (CFR 3.2%) have been reported from 17 districts 5 regions (Oromiya, SNNP, Harari, Somali and Afar Regions) in May 2009. Of these, Afar region reported 44.5% of the cases and deaths (278 cases and 12 deaths), followed by SNNPR 30.6% of the cases (191 cases and 0 death), Oromia 21.1% of the cases (132 cases and 4 deaths and Harari 3.8% of the cases ( 24 cases and 0 death). In response to AWD outbreak and other health emergency, WHO has donated 6 Diarrhoeal Disease kits and 4 inter agency health kits Oromia Region, 2 Diarrhoeal Disease kits and 2 inter agency kits to Somalia Region, 1 Diarrhoeal Disease kits and inter agency health kit to Harari region and Dire Dawe administration each and 2 Diarrhoeal Disease kits MSF- Belgium an 1 for MSF Greece. Additionally, WHO has been supporting coordination of a task force composed of FMOH, UN agencies and international NGOS to improve timely response. Influenza A (H1N1) • According to official reports from the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), no case of Influenza A H1N1 has been reported from Ethiopia and the situation is being monitored closely. • WHO is supporting the FMOH in revising its preparedness and response plan. This month WHO in collaboration with the Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute (EHNRI) conducted a TOT for 51health staff from the 10 regions consisting of regional health bureau focal points, laboratory staff and hospital medical directors on emergency preparedness and response to influenza H1N1.So far Influenza A H1N1 case definitions have been prepared and distributed to the regions, emergency operating centers have 3 been established, and personal protective equipment have been provided to Bole International Airport Quarantine Directorate staff • In line with the required preparation, the United Nations system has finalized its country plan coordinated by WHO Country Office. About 28 UN agencies took part in this process. Five (finance, logistics, security, communication and technical) working groups have finished their work and the plan have been endorsed by SMT for operation. • FMOH has identified 32 hospitals nationwide to support any required response to influenza A H1N1 and has identified national requirements and presented to partners for funding. The FMoH has reactivated the national taskforce and established various sub groups. Conducting daily monitoring of surveillance reports disseminated standard case definition and alert to all regions and health institutions in the country. • Press briefing provided on 3 occasions and trained health personnel from all regions on preparedness and response. • Strengthened surveillance and screening activities at Ports of entry especially at Bole International airport with isolation and quarantine facility in place. In addition air lines staff were given orientation and PPE. Questionnaires were developed for incoming travelers and message being relayed at the Airport. • FMOH has strengthened the capacity of the national laboratory. There is capacity to do PCR in place. • A total of 100,800 treatment courses of tamiflu were donated to FMOH by WCO Ethiopia, AFRO and HQ Geneva. In addition WHO provided 32,095 PPE to the Federal Ministry of Health. • According to official reports, no case of Influenza A H1N1 has been reported from Ethiopia. The United Nations system in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Health has been producing regular situation report shared with partners. The UN system influenza working group conducted a town hall information sharing meeting on prevention and control of influenza A H1N1 for UN staff members in the country . Influenza A H1N1: Dr.

  • Livelihoods and Land Use Change in Highland Ethiopia
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kathleen Guillozet for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Forest Resources presented on August 8, 2011. Title: Livelihoods and Land Use Change in Highland Ethiopia Abstract approved: ________________________________________________________________ John C. Bliss Abstract: This dissertation investigates livelihood and land use change dynamics in a community at the farm-forest periphery in highland Ethiopia. I use interviews and livelihood assessment data to compare the strategies used by members of different wealth groups to negotiate and maintain access to forest resources, and integrate socioeconomic, bio-physical and spatially explicit data to examine changing land use and household vulnerability. This approach sheds new light on scalar aspects of poverty-environment relationships with implications for environmental justice and rural development policy. Chapter one provides an overview of the context and approach to this research. Chapter two illustrates the importance of scale in understanding household vulnerability. It uses diverse data to describe political, historic, biophysical and economic factors that shape vulnerability. Chapter three describes household livelihoods and increasing foreign investment pressure in Ethiopia’s natural forests, with an emphasis on the history of forest management and access in the study site. It describes processes of forest boundary making and conflict in the study area. Chapter four outlines two scenarios to describe the amount of agricultural land required to replace forest incomes in the community under study. These scenarios, termed “fuelwood replacement” and “fuelwood replacement with agricultural intensification,” use agricultural land as a proxy for fuelwood incomes, retaining the connection to physical space that is inherent to natural resources, rather than presenting abstracted monetary values that disassociate resources from power and access dynamics.

    Inter-agency field mission report – Siraro woreda West Arsi zone, Oromia Region 27-31 May 2020 GOAL, SCI, CDI, OCHA, UNICEF/ABH, ZDRMO and ZHD Balela 01 kebele, Kella IDP site in Siraro woreda, 27 May 2020 1. BACKGROUND According to zonal and woreda disaster risk management offices (DRMOs), in May 2019, a long-term Sidama-Oromo clan conflict escalated causing more than 170 casualties (including 40 fatalities), displacement of 36,000 people and destruction of around 600 homes in six kebeles along the administrative boundaries between Sidama and West Arsi zones. The escalation was preceded by a two-year deterioration of security situation between Sidama’s Hawassa Zuria, Bilate Zuria woredas and West Arsi’s Siraro woreda. Zonal and woreda authorities reported then new displacement to the Oromia regional DRMC (ODRMC) and key humanitarian partners.; Cconsequently, four rounds of emergency food were delivered to the IDPs. In the course of 2019, some 15,406 IDPs returned to their homes and 20,774 IDPs have remained with host community and scattered across six kebeles in Siraro woreda as follows: Page 1 of 8 Kebeles Number of IDPs Current locations 1.

Malt barley marketing is complex and dynamic where various actors are involved in its marketing. The marketing route changes over time depending on the demands at the terminal markets. Assela Malt Factory (AMF) plays a great role in determining malt barley price while producers are price takers. Among five major malt barley marketing channels only three of them are supplying to the factory. AMF accessed to 90% of malt barley from the channel via traders and the direct supply by farmers via cooperatives was not more than 10%. The channel via cooperatives which is strategic for both producers and the factory was serving below anticipated due to the financial constraints and management skill gaps of the cooperatives.

  • Prioritization of Shelter/NFI Needs
    Prioritization of Shelter/NFI needs Date: 31st May 2018 Shelter and NFI Needs As of 18 May 2018, the overall number of displaced people is 345,000 households. This figure is based on DTM round 10, partner’s assessments, government requests, as well as the total of HH supported since July 2017. The S/NFI updated its prioritisation in early May and SNFI Cluster partners agreed on several criteria to guide prioritisation which include: - 1) type of emergency, 2) duration of displacement, and 3) sub-standard shelter conditions including IDPS hosted in collective centres and open-air sites and 4) % of vulnerable HH at IDP sites. Thresholds for the criteria were also agreed and in the subsequent analysis the cluster identified 193 IDP hosting woredas mostly in Oromia and Somali regions, as well as Tigray, Gambella and Addis Ababa municipality. A total of 261,830 HH are in need of urgent shelter and NFI assistance. At present the Cluster has a total of 57,000 kits in stocks and pipeline. The Cluster requires urgent funding to address the needs of 204,830 HHs that are living in desperate displacement conditions across the country. This caseload is predicted to increase as the flooding continues in the coming months. Shelter and NFI Priority Activities In terms of priority activities, the SNFI Cluster is in need of ES/NFI support for 140,259 HH displaced mainly due to flood and conflict under Pillar 2, primarily in Oromia and Somali Regions. In addition, the Shelter and NFI Cluster requires immediate funding for recovery activities to support 14,000 HH (8,000 rebuild and 6,000 repair) with transitional shelter support and shelter repair activities under Pillar 3.

  • Ecological Zones of Ethiopia: a Parametric Approach
    Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1700 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2855 (Online) Vol.5, No.3, 2014 Smallholder Wheat Production Efficiency in Selected Agro- ecological Zones of Ethiopia: A Parametric Approach Tolesa Alemu 1* , Bezabih Emana 2, Jema Haji 1, and Belaineh Legesse 1 1. School of Agricultural Economics & Agribusiness, Haramaya University, Ethiopia 2. General Manager, HEDBED Business & Consultancy PLC, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Wheat productivity is very low in Ethiopia. Improving production efficiency is one of the options for enhancing wheat productivity. To identify the level of production efficiency and sources of inefficiencies, this study was carried out in three major wheat producing agro-ecologies. It used cross-sectional data collected from randomly selected 381 farm households for 2012/13 cropping season. A Cobb-Douglas Production Function and Stochastic Frontier Analysis were employed to achieve the objectives. The study found considerable variation in production efficiency among agro-ecologies and within agro-ecology. The mean technical efficiency estimates for lowland, midland and highland agro-ecologies were 57 percent, 82 percent and 78 percent, respectively. The technical efficiency ranges from 24.4 to 88.6 percents in the lowland, 51.6 to 94.4 percents in the midland, and 34.5 to 94.3 percents in the highland agro-ecologies. There is more capacity to increase wheat yield given the current state of technology and input levels. Wheat output elasticities associated with land, labor, chemical fertilizers and other inputs (seed and pesticides) were positive and significant in the lowland whereas in mid and highland agro- ecologies, output elasticities of land and chemical fertilizers were significant.
