After a series of discussions with NGO personnel, federal and regional government officials, observations of lowland pastoralist areas in Ethiopia, and a presentation of current range principles and teaching methods used in the western US, the USFS team concluded that Ethiopian students need to develop more specialized skills in Rangeland Ecology and Management. While Ethiopians have access to education in animal health and general natural resource disciplines, most instruction focuses only on highland forest ecosystems and agricultural development. In addition, there should be better integration of pastoralist knowledge into new range training programs, and improved collaboration between entities. Students are trained in technical skills related to animal health and natural resources, but not in pastoralist knowledge and tradition specific to lowland ecosystems. There is also a lack of collaboration and cooperation between organizations such as NGOs and federal and regional levels of government in the planning and development of training programs. To help accomplish this, Ethiopians need to integrate new training with other research and development actions in Ethiopia to make new education curricula relevant to current science and policy actions. Training programs should be developed to teach university, technical college, and pastoralist students the concepts and techniques specific to each pastoralist area while integrating information about local ecosystems, management challenges, pastoralist knowledge and tradition. Finally, there is a need for future missions during which USFS personnel can conduct a series of interactive workshops involving Ethiopians in the development of rangeland ecology and management training programs that are relevant to pastoralist traditions, knowledge and culture. SCOPE OF THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE The specific objective for the Training in Rangeland Ecology and Management for Improved Rangeland Health and Forage Productivity mission was to “initiate a series of training activities on this subject and to gain the understanding and support of high level officials in the Ethiopian national and regional governments for rangeland management principles.” USAID requested specifically that the USFS team provide technical assistance and expertise in the areas of rangeland and livestock management with the goal of providing a training program and curriculum to improve rangeland management capacity among practitioners, educators, and decision-makers. “Pastoralism can be defined as a land use system, an economic mode of production and way of life for many people who derive most of their income or sustenance from keeping domestic livestock reared in conditions where most of the feed is natural rather than cultivated.” Gebru, G, Desta, S., and D.L. Coppock (eds) 2004. Many people have recognized that there are problems in the pastoral lands of Ethiopia, as well as in much of East Africa. These problems are complex. They include “ (1) Improvement of infrastructure (such as the Moyale to Isiolo Road in Kenya); (2) reduction of trade barriers between Kenya and Ethiopia; (3) improved livestock marketing; (4) eliminate further losses of pastoral lands 4 to outside interests; (5) enhance empowerment of local people; (6) improve security; and (7) enhance the local networking among Ethiopian researchers and policy makers.” Gebru, G, Desta, S., and D.L. Coppock (eds) 2004. In addition, there is a need to promote a better understanding of rangeland ecology by assisting in the development of a rangeland management training curriculum that is tailored to the local customs and issues facing lowland pastoralists in Ethiopia. These curricula should be developed in a clear, collaborative process by Ethiopian federal and regional government personnel, universities that have or can develop range management training, NGO’s, and pastoralist leaders who all understand the complexities of Ethiopian lowland range ecosystems as well as the traditions and culture of pastoralists. First steps in the development of curricula for university students, technical college trainees, and pastoralists are presented in this report as recommendations provided by USFS specialists with experience in range management and ecology. These recommendations are the result of discussions with Ethiopian NGO, federal and regional government staff, comments from individuals throughout lowland pastoralist areas, and observations by the USFS team, and are intended to support continued development of rangeland ecology and management training in the country of Ethiopia. USAID requested that this mission provide technical assistance and expertise in the areas of rangeland and livestock management with the goal of providing a training program and curriculum to improve rangeland management capacity among practitioners, educators, and decision- makers. This was accomplished by the team presenting current rangeland management training techniques and information. BACKGROUND USAID request and objectives of the technical assistance This technical assistance mission was developed in response to discussions between the US Forest Service International Programs Office, and the Office of Business Environment Agriculture and Trade (BEAT) of the U.S. Agency for International Development Ethiopia Mission. The request for technical assistance came about as USAID-Ethiopia began implementing the Pastoralist Livelihood Initiative (PLI) project, which has a significant rangeland resource and grazing management component associated with its successful implementation. The goal of the PLI is to reduce poverty, hunger and vulnerability to droughts and other shocks in selected pastoralist communities in Ethiopia. The objective of the PLI is to mitigate the impact of drought and other shocks by sustainably improving preparedness, livelihoods and incomes of pastoralists. The PLI program has four major intermediate results as follows: IR1: Stocking rates and production of livestock optimized in the extensive grazing areas of Somali, Afar, and the pastoral lowlands of Oromia Regional States. IR2: Pastoralists prepared for droughts and other shocks through the establishment of livestock specific early warning and response mechanisms in Somali and Afar regions and select lowland Woredas of southern Oromia region. IR3: Pastoralists income increased through efficient off-take of livestock and animal 5 products from pastoralist areas of Somali region, Afar region, and the lowlands of Orimia region as a result of improved access to well organized livestock markets. IR4: Harmonization of technical and policy processes to support the preparedness, livelihoods and incomes of the pastoralists strengthened. The PLI is being implemented by a consortium of non-governmental agencies (NGO’s) in collaboration with the Government of Ethiopia at all levels of government. Assistance awards were made in late September, 2005 with implementation activities beginning in October, 2005. This mission was conducted from October 20 through November 5, 2006. Before this technical assistance mission, USAID BEAT personnel emphasized their need for expert, outside opinion on matters related to rangeland and other resource management in pastoralist areas of Ethiopia. The USFS International Programs has a history of technical assistance missions in Africa

  • The State of Human Rights in Ethiopia Was Very Critical of What She Observed During Her Visit to Ethiopia
    EPRDF on the 46th Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR) News release by Ethio-Horn Discourse EPRDF’s top ambassador at its mission in Geneva, Fisseha Yimer, was bombarded with blasting questions by the commissioners at the 46th Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR) that is currently in session in Banjul, Gambia. Mr. Fisseha was confronted with tough questions after he presented the EPRDF’s record on human rights. Before Fisseha’s deliberation, a Shadow Report had earlier been circulated to the eleven commissioners by the Holland-based NGO called Ethio- Horn Discourse founded by Ethiopians in Holland. (See below) According to Article 62 of the ACHPR, governments have to present periodic report to the Commission every two years. Many governments did not heed to this rule, only six have done so far. The EPRDF representing Ethiopia, the seat of the OAU and later AU was expected to set the example in many respects. Not only on issues of human rights, but also on general issues of development as well, Ethiopia has lagged behind all the countries of Africa save four or five. It was for the first time that the EPRDF government presented its report since the formation of the ACHPR in 1986. The ACHPR has a clear guideline on how to present a report to the commission. The EPRDF report did not stick to these guidelines and instead dwelt on the Constitution, government structure and power relations within the various structures of government as well as on issues of ‘economic development’.

  • Comment on Melbaa Gada, Author of “Oromia, an Introduction to the History of the Oromoo People”
    1 Comment on Melbaa Gada, Author of “Oromia, an Introduction to the History of the Oromoo People”. (by Tefera Dinberu) This comment is in regards to Melbaa Gadaa’s book on Oromia that was published in Minnesota in 1988 on the history of the Oromoo people. The objective of my comment is to help Melbaa and other thinkers like him see history with all its vices and virtues and intellectually project the destiny of Oromoo people in the future in relation to the rest of Ethiopians and what we can contribute for justice to prevail for the well-being of all peoples in that part of Africa. The book is his second edition. The author has gathered information from many different sources – oral, his own experience or observation, professional/historical sources, and non-history sources. Melbaa relied more on some foreign sources and seems to have refrained from referring to domestic sources that he must have been familiar with. Any ways, I will try to dwell on the general scheme of his book as a whole by specifying some major points entertained in the book as follows:- Regarding the source of Oromoo people, Huntingford says, “It is clear that the first African homeland of the Galla was what is now British Somaliland and northwestern Somalia, to which their own traditions bring them … It was the Somali settlement that drove the Galla to the west and south west” (Huntingford 19). Melbaa used this book as a reference; however, he did not mention this point. He holds that Ethiopian governments used to believe that Oromoo people were foreigners who migrated to this country.
