Box, 132, Samara, Ethiopia. 1*Email: [email protected] Article Received: 11 December 2019 Article Accepted: 07 February 2020 Article Published: 17 March 2020 ABSTRACT A cross sectional study was carried out from January to July 2014 GC in an attempt to assess and prioritize major camel diseases and identify risk factors in the selected areas of Afar region. Camel owners’ interview and retrospective data analysis were the study methods employed. Relevant collected data were organized, filtered and fed into Microsoft Excel sheet and further analyzed using SPSS statistical tools at P< 0.05. Descriptive statistics was carried to determine frequencies of camel diseases camel. Based on descriptive statistics, the study identified and prioritized 16 camel diseases. Chi-Square analysis was computed to measure the degree of association between disease occurrence and risk factors (age, sex, study area and season). Binomial and multinomial logistic regression analyzes were computed at P<0.05 to measure the significance of associated risk factors on disease occurrence. Statistically significant variations (P<0.05) were observed for sex, seasons, age, and study sites on the occurrence of disease with exception kebeles (P>0.05). Though the study duly has revealed numerous diseases of the camel, the actual existence (laboratory based confirmation) and epidemiology of each disease still demands further investigative studies.

  • Protecting Land Tenure Security of Women in Ethiopia: Evidence from the Land Investment for Transformation Program
    PROTECTING LAND TENURE SECURITY OF WOMEN IN ETHIOPIA: EVIDENCE FROM THE LAND INVESTMENT FOR TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM Workwoha Mekonen, Ziade Hailu, John Leckie, and Gladys Savolainen Land Investment for Transformation Programme (LIFT) (DAI Global) This research paper was created with funding and technical support of the Research Consortium on Women’s Land Rights, an initiative of Resource Equity. The Research Consortium on Women’s Land Rights is a community of learning and practice that works to increase the quantity and strengthen the quality of research on interventions to advance women’s land and resource rights. Among other things, the Consortium commissions new research that promotes innovations in practice and addresses gaps in evidence on what works to improve women’s land rights. Learn more about the Research Consortium on Women’s Land Rights by visiting https://consortium.resourceequity.org/ This paper assesses the effectiveness of a specific land tenure intervention to improve the lives of women, by asking new questions of available project data sets. ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to investigate threats to women’s land rights and explore the effectiveness of land certification interventions using evidence from the Land Investment for Transformation (LIFT) program in Ethiopia. More specifically, the study aims to provide evidence on the extent that LIFT contributed to women’s tenure security. The research used a mixed method approach that integrated quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative information was analyzed from the profiles of more than seven million parcels to understand how the program had incorporated gender interests into the Second Level Land Certification (SLLC) process.

  • 73-84 Association of Arabica Coffee Quality Attributes with Selected So
    East African Journal of Sciences (2015) Volume 9 (2) 73-84 Association of Arabica Coffee Quality Attributes with Selected Soil Chemical Properties Adugnaw Mintesnot1*, Nigussie Dechassa2,and Ali Mohammed1 1Jimma University, Department of Horticulture, P. O. Box 307, Jimma, Ethiopia 2Haramaya University, Department of Plant Sciences, P. O. Box 138, Dire Dawa, Ethiopia Abstract: Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) bean quality attributes differ based on the origin of the produce. Several agro-ecological conditions influence coffee bean quality attributes. Soil chemical properties may be some of the factors affecting the quality attributes. However, no study has so far been conducted to elucidate the association of coffee bean qualities with soil chemical properties in both major and minor coffee growing regions of Ethiopia. Thus, this research was conducted with the objective of establishing association of chemical soil properties with coffee cup quality attributes. Coffee beans as well as soil samples from which the beans originated were subjected to chemical analysis. The coffee beans and the corresponding soil samples originated from large scale coffee plantations (Bebeka, Gemadro and Goma), districts from southwestern major coffee growing region (Gore, Jimma, Lemkefa), West (Gimbi), East (Badano, Chiro, Darolebu, Habro and Melkabelo), South (Yirgacheffe) and northwestern minor coffee growing districts (Ankasha, Bure, Mecha and Jabi). The soil samples were collected from the depth of 0 - 50 cm near the coffee trunks and samples of ripe coffee cherries were picked up from the trees during the 2010/11 harvest season. Selected chemical properties of the soil, namely, available potassium, cation exchange capacity, exchangeable acidity, exchangeable bases, available micronutrients, available phosphorus, total nitrogen, soil pH, electrical conductivity, and percent organic carbon were determined from 53 soil samples in Jimma University soil laboratory and Wolkitie Soil Testing and Soil Fertility Improvement Centre using the established procedures.
