Background of the Network
Background of the Network Although interventions against HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia began after the first case was identified in 1984, the establishment of associations of people living with HIV/AIDS didn't happen until the mid 1990s. The involvement of these associations and some other organizations engaged in the fight against the pandemic to the curtain of stigma and discrimination against PLWHA has showed encouraging results and gradually decreased these and other HIV/AIDS related problems. But much remains to be done before it completely disappears and the rights of these groups of the society are fully respected. Now days a number of PLWHA associations are being established throughout the country and are getting involved in the national efforts of fighting against HIV/AIDS. While these associations are involved in the design and implementation of various programs targeting people infected and affected by the virus their emergence and subsequent mushrooming is giving more voice to the debates surrounding the pandemic and to influence policy and the strategies of the government. Nevertheless, the effectiveness and meaningful contribution of these associations was compromised due to the uncoordinated, inconsistent and sometimes contradictory engagements and initiatives. aware of the situations and the need for coordinated and increased involvement of these associations a total of 25 PLWHA associations (embracing more than 2000 PLWHA members) found in the region have established their network /umbrella office in Awassa, capital of the Region in September 2006 while the number is reached to 71. The Network has legally registered as a nongovernmental organization and has got its license from the SNNPR Bureau of Justice. -
Land Use Patterns and Its Implication for Climate Change: the Case of Gamo Gofa, Southern Ethiopia
Defaru Debebe. et al., IJSRR 2013, 2(3), 155-173 Research article Available online www.ijsrr.org ISSN: 2279–0543 International Journal of Scientific Research and Reviews Land Use Patterns and its Implication for Climate Change: The Case of Gamo Gofa, Southern Ethiopia Defaru Debebe* and Tuma Ayele Arba Minch University P.O.Box 21, Arba Minch, Ethiopia ABSTRACT Land is one of three major factors of production in classical economics (along with labor and capital) and an essential input for housing and crop production. Land use is the backbone of agriculture and it provides substantial economic and social benefits. Assessing past-to present land use patterns associated with the crop production helps to understand which climatic effects might arise due to expanding crop cultivation. This study was conducted to evaluate the land use pattern and its implication for climate change in Gamo Gofa, Southern Ethiopia. For evaluation, correlation and time series trend analysis were used. Results revealed that a significant reduction in cultivable land, which was converted into cropland and might increase deforestation and greenhouse gas emission, in turn induce climate change. The correlation between cropland and fertile (cultivable) land (r=0.22674) in 2005 improved to (r=0.75734) in 2012 indicating major shift of fertile land to cropland in seven years interval. On other side, twelve years (1987-1999 and 2000-2011) average maximum temperature difference in Gamo Gafa was increased 0.425oC with standard deviation 0.331. It is statistically significant (t =1.284, alpha=0.10) at 10% level of error. Moreover, the spatial differences in climate change are likely to imply a heterogeneous pattern of land use responses. -

Enhancing the Role of Forestry in Building Climate Resilient Green Economy in Ethiopia Strategy for scaling up effective forest management practices in Amhara National Regional State with particular emphasis on smallholder plantations Wubalem Tadesse Alemu Gezahegne Teshome Tesema Bitew Shibabaw Berihun Tefera Habtemariam Kassa Center for International Forestry Research Ethiopia Office Addis Ababa October 2015 Copyright © Center for International Forestry Research, 2015 Cover photo by authors FOREWORD This regional strategy document for scaling up effective forest management practices in Amhara National Regional State, with particular emphasis on smallholder plantations, was produced as one of the outputs of a project entitled “Enhancing the Role of Forestry in Ethiopia’s Climate Resilient Green Economy”, and implemented between September 2013 and August 2015. CIFOR and our ministry actively collaborated in the planning and implementation of the project, which involved over 25 senior experts drawn from Federal ministries, regional bureaus, Federal and regional research institutes, and from Wondo Genet College of Forestry and Natural Resources and other universities. The senior experts were organised into five teams, which set out to identify effective forest management practices, and enabling conditions for scaling them up, with the aim of significantly enhancing the role of forests in building a climate resilient green economy in Ethiopia. The five forest management practices studied were: the establishment and management of area exclosures; the management of plantation forests; Participatory Forest Management (PFM); agroforestry (AF); and the management of dry forests and woodlands. Each team focused on only one of the five forest management practices, and concentrated its study in one regional state. -

Determinants of Smallholder Farmers' Rice Market Participation in Libo Kemekem Woreda, Amhara Region
International Journal of Development in Social Sciences and Humanities http://www.ijdssh.com (IJDSSH) 2019, Vol. No.8, Jul-Dec e-ISSN: 2455-5142; p-ISSN: 2455-7730 DETERMINANTS OF SMALLHOLDER FARMERS’ RICE MARKET PARTICIPATION IN LIBO KEMEKEM WOREDA, AMHARA REGION Endesew Eshetie University of Gondar College of Business and Economics Department of Marketing Management ABSTRACT Cultivation of rice in Ethiopia is generally a recent phenomenon. Rice has become a commodity of strategic significance across many parts of Ethiopia for domestic consumption as well as export market for economic development. This study was conducted in Libo Kemekem Woreda, Amhara Region. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the determinants of smallholder farmers’ participation in rice market. In this study three representative Kebeles were selected using multistage sampling technique. Then, sample household farmers were drawn by random sampling technique. Thus, 215 smallholder rice producer farmers were selected to the study, and through questionnaire and interview data were gathered. The collected data then be analyzed using SPSS and the results were interpreted and presented using descriptive statistics. Hence, the result revealed that 91.2% were male headed households and 8.8% were female headed. The minimum ageof participants were 29 and the maximum age was 70. About 94.9% of respondents were married, 3.3% were divorced, and 1.9% was separated; the major reason for growing rice was mainly for market. The result also identified about 98.1% smallholder farmer heads were members of cooperatives. On the contrary, farmers faced lack of improved seed and fertilizer, fear of crop failure due to unexpected rains and existence of different diseases. -
