This and the next chapter (chapter 9) deal with inter-regional conflicts between the study regions and their neighbours. The federal restructuring carried out by dismantling the old unitary structure of the country led to territorial and boundary disputes. Unlike the older federations created by the union of independent units, which among other things have stable boundaries, creating a federation through federal restructuring leads to controversies and in some cases to violent conflicts. In the Ethiopian case, violent conflicts accompany the process of intra-federal boundary making. Inter-regional boundaries that divide the Somali region from its neighbours (Oromia and Afar) are ill defined and there are violent conflicts along these borders. In some cases, resource conflicts involving Somali, Afar and Oromo clans transformed into more protracted boundary and territorial conflicts. As will be discussed in this chapter, inter-regional boundary making also led to the re-examination of ethnic identity.

  • Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group
    DRMTechnical Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group Covering 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2016 Prepared by Clusters and NDRMC Introduction The El Niño global climactic event significantly affected the 2015 meher/summer rains on the heels of failed belg/ spring rains in 2015, driving food insecurity, malnutrition and serious water shortages in many parts of the country. The Government and humanitarian partners issued a joint 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) in December 2015 requesting US$1.4 billion to assist 10.2 million people with food, health and nutrition, water, agriculture, shelter and non-food items, protection and emergency education responses. Following the delay and erratic performance of the belg/spring rains in 2016, a Prioritization Statement was issued in May 2016 with updated humanitarian requirements in nutrition (MAM), agriculture, shelter and non-food items and education.The Mid-Year Review of the HRD identified 9.7 million beneficiaries and updated the funding requirements to $1.2 billion. The 2016 HRD is 69 per cent funded, with contributions of $1.08 billion from international donors and the Government of Ethiopia (including carry-over resources from 2015). Under the leadership of the Government of Ethiopia delivery of life-saving and life- sustaining humanitarian assistance continues across the sectors. However, effective humanitarian response was challenged by shortage of resources, limited logistical capacities and associated delays, and weak real-time information management. This Periodic Monitoring Report (PMR) provides a summary of the cluster financial inputs against outputs and achievements against cluster objectives using secured funding since the launch of the 2016 HRD.

  • Livelihood Zones Analysis Ethiopia
    Improved livelihoods for smallholder farmers LIVELIHOOD ZONES ANALYSIS A tool for planning agricultural water management investments Ethiopia Prepared by Dr. Girma Medhin in consultation with FAO, 2011 About this report The AgWater Solutions Project aimed at designing agricultural water management (AWM) strategies for smallholder farmers in sub Saharan Africa and in India. The project was managed by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and operated jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI) and International Development Enterprise (IDE). It was implemented in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia and in the States of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal in India. Several studies have highlighted the potential of AWM for poverty alleviation. In practice, however, adoption rates of AWM solutions remain low, and where adoption has taken place locally, programmes aimed at disseminating these solutions often remain a challenge. The overall goal of the project was to stimulate and support successful pro-poor, gender-equitable AWM investments, policies and implementation strategies through concrete, evidence-based knowledge and decision-making tools. The project has examined AWM interventions at the farm, community, watershed, and national levels. It has analyzed opportunities and constraints of a number of small-scale AWM interventions in several pilot research sites across the different project countries, and assessed their potential in different agro-climatic, socio-economic and political contexts. This report was prepared as part of the efforts to assess the potential for AWM solutions at national level. The livelihood zones analysis divides the country in a series of areas where rural people share relatively homogeneous living conditions on the basis of a combination of biophysical and socio-economic determinants.

  • GIS-Assisted Site Selection for Resettlement
    Planned Resettlement: A GIS-Assisted Identification of Areas Suitable for Irrigation-based Resettlement in Ethiopia Aynalem Adugna ABSTRACT Ethiopia is conducting a government-sponsored population resettlement but the site selection exercise lacks the objectivity that GIS can provide. A GIS-based site selection is performed in this study to identify settlement sites using national data at the Wereda (sub-district) levels. The results show that the application of GIS can yield satisfactory results even under conditions of data scarcity. Seven Weredas are deemed highly suitable while another twelve are classified as suit- able. The list of selected sites includes many Weredas known to have received settlers in the past. The selected Weredas also include those being targeted by the government for land-leases to foreign agribusinesses companies. The lack of re- sources necessary to mitigate all of the environmental dangers including acceler- ated deforestation, wetland destruction, malaria, and flash-floods, point to serious challenges ahead in making the Weredas selected in this study suitable for large- scale resettlement. It is argued, therefore, that population control measures with a focus on fertility reduction would produce better long-term results. Key words: Ethiopia, GIS, resettlement, site selection INTRODUCTION Geographic Information System (GIS) can help to rationalize spatial deci- sion making including site selection (Zeng and Zhou 2001). The bibliography of a 2006 GIS-related literature survey listed 144 works relating to site selection (Malczewski 2006). GIS site selection applications have to date ranged from se- lection of sites for fast food outlets, warehouses, and to those with potential for geothermal energy development (Vlachopoulou, Silleos, and Manthou 2001; Demircan 2002; Yousefi and Noorollahi, 2007).
