IDRC Grant / Subvention du CRDI: 107984-001-Scaling Up Pulse Innovations for Food and Nutrition Security in Southern Ethiopia (CIFSRF Phase 2) Introduction A team of two experts conducted training on scientific writing to a total of 41 participants in two Hawassarounds for a period University of 12 days at the College of Agriculture University of Hawassa of University. Saskatchewan The training Collegewas organized of Agriculture by Dr Sheleme Beyene of the College and principal investigator (PI) of the project titled “Improving Food Security in the Highlands of Southern Ethiopia through Improved and Sustainable Agricultural Productivity and Human Nutrition”. The funding of this project comes from the Candian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF) Project, which in turn draws its funding sources from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the International Development Research Center (IDRC). This project provided both financial support and hands-on training on scientific writing for MSc and PhD students who graduated duringWorkshop the 2011/2012 academic year. on The training Scientific was offered by two trainers Paper (Dr Zemede Asfaw from Addis Ababa University and Professor Heluf Gebrekidan from Haramaya University) from 28 January–01 February, 2013; which finally led to the preparation of a Research Booklet and several manuscripts ready for submission to scientific journals. The manuscripts are now at different stagesWriting moving towards publication. The Project Management, having found the previous training very useful for the trainees and having been encouraged by the quality of the deliverables, commissioned the same trainers and organized the present training from 16-27 December, 2013. In this second scientific writing training, graduate students of the College who received financial support for their MSc and PhD theses were invited. Also invited were, academic staff who have been granted staff research funds from the same project. The training had a theoretical component of interactive PowerPoint lectures and practical exercises on different parts of the scientific paper, illustrating with draft manuscripts of some participants and other materials. The training went through two consecutive rounds where 20 students took part in the first round, conducted from December 16-23 and 14 academic staff from that from December 24-26, 2013. Most of the graduate students (except two) and the academic staff (? except two) who participated in the training have not yet December11-16completed the preparation of manuscripts. Canadian International 2017 The main objective of the training was to assist the graduate students and junior academic staff Food(some of them Security PhD candidates) in Researchtheir efforts to produce their theses as well as original scientific publications out of their research findings. A total of 27 graduate students and 14 academic staff participatedFund in the training. (CIFSRF) This report, along with the appendices, briefly shows the activities of the second scientific writing training. 1 Preface The Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF) Project at College of Agriculture of Hawassa University has been supporting graduate students who conduct researches on problems areas directly linked to its objectives. Besides covering the cost to undertake the proposed researches, grantees got trainings on different scientific activities to build their scholastic career and future undertakings. These activities has helped the students and their professors to publish many articles in reputable journals and positively contributed to the outcome of the project. The participants of the current scientific paper writing workshop were earlier trainees on a workshop how to write proposals with the objective to shape their draft proposals in to viable MSc research projects. The current scientific paper writing workshop was organized for six days (December 11-16). The main objective was to introduce students to scientific papers and help them write standard scientific papers starting with their MSc research findings. The interactive training had theoretical and practical sessions where by the two trainers, Dr. Ferdu Azerefegne and Dr. Tewodros Tefera, and fellow students continually gave comments and critics on the student draft papers. The students learnt the structure of scientific papers and how to write each section, the language of scientific papers, dos and don’ts. Besides the mechanics of writing, trainees were introduced to the processes publishing articles, including selection of journals, sending articles, and communicating with the editors. This report contains thirteen manuscripts which were prepared under the guidance of the trainers. The trainers witnessed very good progress in the development of the manuscripts and are of the opinion that most of them will eventually be accepted for publication in good journals. The trainers appreciated very much the support by CIFSRF project to students on proposal and scientific writing. Supports by similar projects are mostly limited to the research work and converting the hard earned data in to valuable scientific papers has often been overlooked. The excellent setup of the training, organization and support from the project leader and his team made the training very convenient and enjoyable to the trainers and the participants.

    Darebo et al. BMC Obesity (2019) 6:8 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40608-019-0227-7 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Prevalence and factors associated with overweight and obesity among adults in Hawassa city, southern Ethiopia: a community based cross-sectional study Teshale Darebo1, Addisalem Mesfin2* and Samson Gebremedhin3 Abstract Background: In Ethiopia, limited information is available about the epidemiology of over-nutrition. This study assessed the prevalence of, and factors associated with overweight and obesity among adults in Hawassa city, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in August 2015 in the city. A total of 531 adults 18–64 years of age were selected using multistage sampling approach. Interviewer administered qualitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the consumption pattern of twelve food groups. The level of physical exercise was measured via the General Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Based on anthropometric measurements, Body Mass Index (BMI) was computed and overweight including obesity (BMI of 25 or above) was defined. For identifying predictors of overweight and obesity, multivariable binary logistic regression model was fitted and the outputs are presented using Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI). Results: The prevalence of overweight including obesity was 28.2% (95% CI: 24.2–32.2). Significant proportions of adults had moderate (37.6%) or low (2.6%) physical activity level. As compared to men, women had 2.56 (95% CI: 1.85–4.76) times increased odds of overweight/obesity. With reference to adults 18–24 years of age, the odds were three times higher among adults 45–54 (3.06, 95% CI: 1.29–7.20) and 55–64 (2.88, 95% CI: 1.06–7.84) years.

  • Army Worm Infestation in SNNP and Oromia Regions As of 24 May
    Army worm infestation in SNNP and Oromia Regions As of 24 May, some 8,368 hectares of belg cropland was reportedly destroyed by army worms in Wolayita zone of SNNPR - an area that suffered from late onset of the 2013 belg rains and subsequent heavy rains that damaged belg crops. The damage caused by the army worms will further reduce the expected harvest this season. Similar incidents were also reported from Boricha, Bona Zuria, Dara, Dale, Hawassa Zuria and Loko Abaya woredas of Sidama zone; Loma and Mareka woredas of Dawro zone (SNNPR), as well as from drought prone areas of East and West Hararge zones of Oromia Region; and quickly spreading to neighbouring areas. In Boricha woreda, for example, more than 655 hectares of belg cropland was destroyed in the course of one week, this is indicative of the speed that damage is being caused. Immediate distribution of spraying containers and chemicals to the farmers is required to prevent further loss of belg crops. For more information, contact: [email protected] Health Update The number of meningitis cases has gradually declined since the outbreak was declared in January. To date, 1,371 cases were reported from 24 woredas in five zones of SNNP and Oromia Regions. The Government, with support from health partners, is conducting a reactive vaccination in the affected areas, with 1, 678,220 people vaccinated so far. Next week, the number of people vaccinated during the Addis Ababa City Administration meningitis vaccination campaign, conducted from 20 to 26 May, will be released. Meanwhile, the number of kebeles reporting cases of Yellow Fever in South Ari, Benatsemay and Selmago woredas of South Omo zone, SNNPR, increased.

    Fonjungo et al. Human Resources for Health 2013, 11:56 http://www.human-resources-health.com/content/11/1/56 RESEARCH Open Access Preservice laboratory education strengthening enhances sustainable laboratory workforce in Ethiopia Peter N Fonjungo1,8*, Yenew Kebede1, Wendy Arneson2, Derese Tefera1, Kedir Yimer1, Samuel Kinde3, Meseret Alem4, Waqtola Cheneke5, Habtamu Mitiku6, Endale Tadesse7, Aster Tsegaye3 and Thomas Kenyon1 Abstract Background: There is a severe healthcare workforce shortage in sub Saharan Africa, which threatens achieving the Millennium Development Goals and attaining an AIDS-free generation. The strength of a healthcare system depends on the skills, competencies, values and availability of its workforce. A well-trained and competent laboratory technologist ensures accurate and reliable results for use in prevention, diagnosis, care and treatment of diseases. Methods: An assessment of existing preservice education of five medical laboratory schools, followed by remedial intervention and monitoring was conducted. The remedial interventions included 1) standardizing curriculum and implementation; 2) training faculty staff on pedagogical methods and quality management systems; 3) providing teaching materials; and 4) procuring equipment for teaching laboratories to provide practical skills to complement didactic education. Results: A total of 2,230 undergraduate students from the five universities benefitted from the standardized curriculum. University of Gondar accounted for 252 of 2,230 (11.3%) of the students, Addis Ababa University for 663 (29.7%), Jimma University for 649 (29.1%), Haramaya University for 429 (19.2%) and Hawassa University for 237 (10.6%) of the students. Together the universities graduated 388 and 312 laboratory technologists in 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 academic year, respectively.
