  • 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.

  • Pastoral Areas Nutrition Update Transportation
    Food and Livelihood Security Update – Pastoral Areas The latest update by the Somali Region Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Bureau (DPPB) and Save the Children UK reports a slight improvement in the food security situation in the region due to good performance of the deyr rains, increased demand for livestock exports and ongoing relief food distributions. The terms of trade for pastoralists have improved in all major markets (Jijiga, Fik and Kebridehar) due to increased livestock demand from Gulf countries ahead of the upcoming Muslim holy pilgrimage (Haj). The deyr rains have also significantly replenished water sources in Gode, Afder, Liben, Degehabur and Fik zones, bringing emergency water tankering interventions to an end. In Korahe, Warder and parts of Shinile zones, however, serious water shortages persist. In Afar, the latest DPPB/Save the Children UK report recommends close monitoring of the food security situation in the region due to the recurrent dry spells and absence of recovery periods between them, which have exhausted the coping strategies of the pastoralist population. Livestock herd sizes, the number of milking animals and productivity have been significantly reduced, especially in terms of cattle. The report further indicates that the terms of trade for pastoralists have not improved due to low livestock prices and increased cereal prices. A joint Government and NGO rapid assessment conducted in Borena zone (Oromia) from 24 to 27 October has found the food and nutritional security of communities in all woredas to be of concern due to the poor performance of the current hagaya rains, coming on top of the previous poor ganna (mid-March to May) harvest.

  • ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook January to June 2011
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook January to June 2011 Following the meher harvest, which began in October Figure 1. Current estimated food security outcomes, 2010, food security has generally improved in the January 2011 meher producing parts of the country. However, due to crop damage caused by widespread floods and other weather related shocks the meher harvest is likely to be lower than initially anticipated. The Humanitarian Requirement Documents outlining assistance needs is expected to be released in February 2011. Although the National Meteorology Agency has not provided a forecast for the April to June gu/genna/belg rains, below normal performance of these rains is considered likely. This is expected to exacerbate prevailing food insecurity which resulted from near complete failure of October to December rains in southern pastoral and agro pastoral areas. Due to close to normal sapie (December/January) 2010 rains food security among the dominant root crop, For more information on FEWS NET’s Food Insecurity Severity Scale, please see: www.fews.net/FoodInsecurityScale mainly sweet potatoes growing areas in central and eastern SNNPR is estimated to remain stable Source: FEWS NET and WFP throughout the outlook period. The poor and very poor households normally rely on these harvests, during the March to May lean season. Staple food prices are likely to follow typical seasonal trends throughout the outlook period, though remain higher than the 2005 to 2009 averages given the current harvest and the continued price stabilization measures taken by the government.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: January 2, 2019 Accepted: February 16, 2019 Online Published: June 15, 2019 doi:10.5539/jas.v11n8p120 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/jas.v11n8p120 Abstract The present study was conducted to investigate the status of beef cattle production system, major available beef cattle feed, constraints, and challenges of cattle fattening in Gemechis, Mesela, Tulo and Oda Bultum District, Western Hararge Zone, Oromia National Regional State. To select the districts and individual cattle fatteners, purposive selection techniques were applied based on their potentiality and beef cattle ownership, respectively. Accordingly a total of 120 cattle fatteners were included and interviewed using pre tested structured questionnaire. In addition to semi-structured questionnaire, group discussions and key informant interviews were carried out to support the survey data. As the assessment result showed fattening length in highland regions was significantly (p < 0.001) higher than those of midland regions with mean value of 5.0±0.18 and 4.1±0.18 respectively. Green feeds from maize and sorghum origin which includes thinning contributes a major role as livestock feed during wet season whereas crop residues (mainly maize and sorghum stover) in wet season and wheat bran ‘frushika’ are the dominant feed resources supplement for cattle fatteners in the study area.
