  • Determinants of Child Survival Chances in Rural Ethiopia Ermias Dessie Buli* Adama Science and Technology University, Adama, Ethiopia [email protected]
    Proceedings 59th ISI World Statistics Congress, 25-30 August 2013, Hong Kong (Session CPS105) p.4571 Determinants of Child Survival Chances in Rural Ethiopia Ermias Dessie Buli* Adama Science and Technology University, Adama, Ethiopia [email protected] Abstract In a country like Ethiopia that has poor social conditions and more than 50% of its population illiterate and under the poverty line, the level of communicable diseases is found to be the highest magnitude (CIA World Fact book, 2009). So the importance of this study is to reveal the effect of socioeconomic, environmental, demographic and health related variables on child mortality in rural Ethiopia. The data set used originates from the demographic and health survey (DHS) conducted in Ethiopia 2005. The analysis was conducted using Cox proportional hazards model which analyses the effects of covariates on child mortality and other statistical methods. The study shows that source of drinking water, birth order number, sex of child, breast feeding status, wealth index of household, father’s education, mother’s education and family size have significant contribution on child mortality. Since educated parents have enough Knowledge on how to care their children, parents should be educated as well as mothers should be encouraged to breast feed their children. Furthermore, marriage at the right age is recommended and integrated child care and family planning programs are paramount. Government should improve society services like providing clean water which contributes to better children health status. Key Words: Child mortality, Cox proportional hazards model 1. INTRODUCTION 1 Proceedings 59th ISI World Statistics Congress, 25-30 August 2013, Hong Kong (Session CPS105) p.4572 Ethiopia is the third largest populous country in Africa with population of 73.9 million of which more than 84.2% live in rural areas (CSA, 2007).

Tessema GASHAW, Medical officer 4. Yegeremu Kebede, Plastic surgeon Sr. Abeba Mekonen, out reach nurse December 10/2006 Addis Ababa Ethiopi Table of contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. 3 1. INTRODUCTION 4 2. METHODS AND INSTRUMENTS 5 3. RESULTS 9 4. DISCUSSION. 20 5. RECOMMENDATION. 22 Executive summary. The majority of Africa’s population lives in rural or remote areas while only a small percentage of healthcare facilities capable of specialized treatment are accessible to them there. Ethiopia shares the same in the way that a concentration of trained healthcare workers in the urban centers in overcrowded hospitals that not only have to treat their own patients but support the surrounding facilities. Even while the federal system in Ethiopia has provided referral hospitals in remote areas they are under-funded and constantly experiencing a shortage of trained staff. The objective of this project is to strengthen the capacities of ten university and regional hospitals, selected from a group of twenty referral hospitals in Ethiopia. The current specialized clinical out reach project in Ethiopia is just starting up as national programme. Therefore it has limited experience and resource in the Ethiopian context. Therefore it is assumed to be an area of lesson accumulation, start up for advocacy on the need of the population and indigenous system establishment. The specific criteria for assessment of hospitals were drafted based on the above the generalized scheme of strategies and they are listed as follows i.e.

    Mikiyas Alemeshet Abera; International Journal of Advance Research, Ideas and Innovations in Technology ISSN: 2454-132X Impact factor: 4.295 (Volume 5, Issue 5) Available online at: www.ijariit.com Evaluation of road traffic accident in Addis Ababa – Adama Expressway Mikiyas Alemeshet Abera [email protected] Wolaita Sodo University, Sodo, Ethiopia ABSTRACT This study is aimed to evaluate Road Traffic accidents (RTA) in Addis Ababa– Adama Expressway which is the first modern expressway in Ethiopia. The study analyzed 1,137 accident data that occurred in the past three years and eight months since the launching of the project. The study investigated several characteristics of accidents. Among others this includes accident type and severity, time of accident occurrence and types and level of traffic. Advanced statistical tests were conducted to identify the contribution of accident instruments. Out of 1,137 RTA datasets 75% occurred during day time and about 24% accidents occurred at night. The highest fatality accident occurred in January. In total, 84 fatalities, 191 serious injuries, and 438 light injuries were registered. The highest number of serious injuries (about 38%) occurred during weekend. A total of 1,348 vehicles were involved in road accidents. About 33.5% of accidents occurred due to rear-end collision while about 31% occurred due to vehicle rollover. The remaining accidents occurred due to collision to guardrail and curbstone about 39% of accidents occurred due to unethical driving behavior while about 19% accidents occurred due to over speeding. In addition, driver fatigue, flat tires, poor vehicle brake performance, and steering problems, the presence of animals were also contributing factors to the reported accidents.

  • Ethiopian Land Tenure from Heterogeneity to Uniformity: a Historical Perspective with Emphasis to Southern Provinces
    Annals of Global History Volume 1, Issue 3, 2019, PP 9-19 ISSN 2642-8172 Ethiopian Land Tenure from Heterogeneity to Uniformity: A Historical Perspective with Emphasis to Southern Provinces Binayew Tamrat Getahun1*, Alemseged Debele2 1School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Adama Science and Technology University Ethiopia 2Arsi University, Asela, Ethiopia *Corresponding Author: Binayew Tamrat Getahun, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Adama Science and Technology University, Ethiopia. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Ethiopian Land tenure system has shown drastic change from a tenant-landlord system to private ownership in the Imperial regime and public land ownership during the Derge and EPRDF periods. But the paper indicates the severity of the impacts of land tenure system on the peasants and pastoralists of the southern provinces particularly during the Imperial regime. In this paper it is argued that in the post liberation period the land tenure system led to lack of tenure security and inefficiency in land use in the south, south west and central Ethiopia. The Paper also points out during the Derge regime, though it changed the land tenure from heterogeneity to a uniform land tenure system in the whole of the country, there was unfairness in allocating fertile land to peasants. However, some plots of fertile land were given to some peasants favored by the local state agents such as by members of land allotting committee. As a result, the Derge regime’s land reform failed to maintain tenure security in southern provinces or elsewhere in the country. The paper suggests that in the post 1991 period though the government proclaimed that land is owned both by the people and government, there are issues of land which instigated heated debates among scholars and politicians.
