  • FOREWORD Statistical Data That Reflect the Socio-Economic And
    FOREWORD Statistical data that reflect the socio-economic and demographic conditions of the residents of a country are useful for designing and preparation of development plans as well as for monitoring and evaluation of the impact of the implementation of the development plans. These statistical data include population size, age, sex, literacy and education, marital status, housing stocks and conditions …etc. In order to fill the gap for these socio-economic and demographic data need, Ethiopia has conducted its third Population and Housing Census in the months of May and November 2007. The 2007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia was conducted under the auspices of the Population Census Commission that was established by a proclamation No. 449/1997. The Commission is chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister and the members of the commission were drawn from various relevant Ministries, Regional state representatives, House of Federation, National Electoral Board and the Central Statistical Agency, serving as the Office of the Census Commission (Secretariat). According to the proclamation, the processing, evaluation and analyses of the data collected in this census as well as its dissemination are the major responsibilities of this office. Thus, the Office of the Population Census Commission is pleased to present the census report entitled “The 2007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia: Statistical Report for Addis Ababa City Administration” for the users. Subsequently, another report which deals with detailed analysis of the result of the 2007 Population and Housing Census data is in the process of being prepared and will also be prepared and printed soon. Before the conduct of a census enumeration, numbers of preparatory activities were also carried-out.

  • Prevalence of Bovine Cysticercosis at Holeta Municipality Abattoir and Taenia Saginata at Holeta Town and Its Surroundings, Central Ethiopia
    Research Article Journal of Veterinary Science & Technology Volume 12:3, 2020 ISSN: 2157-7579 Open Access Prevalence of Bovine Cysticercosis at Holeta Municipality Abattoir and Taenia Saginata at Holeta Town and its Surroundings, Central Ethiopia Seifu Hailu* Ministry of Agriculture, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Abstract A cross section study was conducted during November 2011 to March 2012 to determine the prevalence of Cysticercosis in animals, Taeniasis in human and estimate the worth of Taeniasis treatment in Holeta town. Active abattoir survey, questionnaire survey and inventories of pharmaceutical shops were performed. From the total of 400 inspected animals in Holeta municipality abattoir, 48 animals had varying number of C. bovis giving an overall prevalence 12% (48/400). Anatomical distribution of the cyst showed that highest proportions of C. bovis cyst were observed in tongue, followed by masseter, liver and shoulder heart muscles. Of the total of 190 C. bovis collected during the inspection, 89(46.84%) were found to be alive while other 101 (53.16%) were dead cysts. Of the total 70 interviewed respondents who participated in this study, 62.86% (44/70) had contract T. saginata Infection, of which, 85% cases reported using modern drug while the rest (15%) using traditional drug. The majority of the respondent had an experience of raw meat consumption as a result of traditional and cultural practice. Human Taeniasis prevalence showed significant difference (p<0.05) with age, occupational risks and habit of raw meat consumption. Accordingly individuals in the adult age groups, occupational high risk groups and habit of raw meat consumers had higher odds of acquiring Taeniasis than individuals in the younger age groups, occupational law risk groups and cooked meat consumers, respectively.

The vast majority of the national herd is of indigenous zebu cattle maintained in rural areas under extensive husbandry systems. However, in response to the increasing demand for milk products and the Ethiopian government’s efforts to improve productivity in the livestock sector, recent years have seen increased intensive husbandry settings holding exotic and cross breeds. This drive for increased productivity is however threatened by animal diseases that thrive under intensive settings, such as bovine tuberculosis (BTB), a disease that is already endemic in Ethiopia. Methodology/Principal Findings: An extensive study was conducted to: estimate the prevalence of BTB in intensive dairy farms in central Ethiopia; identify associated risk factors; and characterize circulating strains of the causative agent, Mycobacterium bovis. The comparative intradermal tuberculin test (CIDT), questionnaire survey, post-mortem examination, bacteriology, and molecular typing were used to get a better understanding of the BTB prevalence among dairy farms in the study area.

  • Exporting Zionism
    Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Ayala Levin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin This dissertation explores Israeli architectural and construction aid in the 1960s – “the African decade” – when the majority of sub-Saharan African states gained independence from colonial rule. In the Cold War competition over development, Israel distinguished its aid by alleging a postcolonial status, similar geography, and a shared history of racial oppression to alleviate fears of neocolonial infiltration. I critically examine how Israel presented itself as a model for rapid development more applicable to African states than the West, and how the architects negotiated their professional practice in relation to the Israeli Foreign Ministry agendas, the African commissioners' expectations, and the international disciplinary discourse on modern architecture. I argue that while architectural modernism was promoted in the West as the International Style, Israeli architects translated it to the African context by imbuing it with nation-building qualities such as national cohesion, labor mobilization, skill acquisition and population dispersal. Based on their labor-Zionism settler-colonial experience,

  • IDENTIFYING MAJOR URBAN ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT BLACK-SPOTS (Rtabss): a SUB-CITY BASED ANALYSIS of EVIDENCES from the CITY of ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA
    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 15, No.2, 2013) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania IDENTIFYING MAJOR URBAN ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT BLACK-SPOTS (RTABSs): A SUB-CITY BASED ANALYSIS OF EVIDENCES FROM THE CITY OF ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA Guyu Ferede Daie Addis Ababa University (AAU), Ethiopia ABSTRACT Despite its adverse socio-economic impact, a study on identification of road traffic accident black-spots (RTABSs) in Addis Ababa is either negligible or only a general attempt made for the city as a whole (National Road Safety Coordination Office, [NRSCO], 2005) without considering the specific experiences of each sub-city. The main aim of this study was, therefore, to identify the major accident black spots in each sub-city of Addis Ababa separately. For this purpose, secondary data obtained from Addis Ababa traffic police office was employed. The findings of the study revealed that there were 125 major accident black-spots in Addis Ababa as a whole. The distribution by sub-city shows10, 11, 24, 10, 21, 10, 20, 6, 4 and 9 RTABSs in Kirkos, Bole, Arada , Yeka, Lideta, Nifas-Silk/Lafto, Addis-Ketema, Akaki, Kolfe and Gullele sub-cities respectively. This has implication on the need for sustainable transport development planning. The RTABSs identified in each sub-city need to be focused while planning. Therefore, concerned bodies should encourage further investigation of specific causes for designing and implementing appropriate road safety control strategies in order to significantly reduce the incidence of road crashes in the city. This can be done by planning sustainable ways of designing transport system such as road networks that should accommodate the ever increasing number of vehicles followed by frequent inspection of vehicles themselves.

  • The Status of Green Spaces and Green Space Participatory Management in the City of Addis Ababa
    Msc Programme in Urban Management and Development Rotterdam, The Netherlands September 2014 Thesis Title: The Status of Green spaces and Green space Participatory Management in the City of Addis Ababa Name: Gezahegne Gebremeskel Supervisor: Somesh Sharma Specialization: Urban Environmental Management UMD 10 MASTER’S PROGRAMME IN URBAN MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT (October 2013 – September 2014) Name: Gezahegne Gebremeskel Country: Ethiopia Supervisor: Somesh Sharma UMD 10 Report number: Rotterdam, September 2014 ii Summary The unprecedented rapid urbanization of Addis Ababa, coupled the city’s high population growth has been entailing intricacies on city’s management, amongst which Green spaces management constitute a part. In pursuit of the brown agenda i.e. infrastructural development, expansion of construction for settlement to accommodate the ever growing population, utilization of fuel wood and charcoal as bio fuel have been contributing to green spaces depletion in Addis. Green spaces participatory management has been a problem. This requires studies to find solution for the Green space management problem. This research’s aim is to determine the green spaces status and green spaces participatory management that entails stakeholder organizations and the community in the ten sub-cities of Addis Ababa. The main research methods are Land cover change detection using remotely sensed satellite multi-temporal raster data image analysis, qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The unit of analysis of this case study is organization. The main technical approach applied was qualitative data analysis acquired through purposive (judgmental) sampled data later analyzed using Atlas ti. To supplement the study, a quantitative sampled single point in time (2014) cross-sectional surveyed data of 100 respondents from the ten sub-cities of Addis was analyzed using SPSS.

BACKGROUND AND PROJECT CONTEXT Addis Ababa has been characterized by high population growth with over 5 million residents mainly due to rural-urban migration as youths and women migrate to the city to search for better livelihood opportunities. This high population growth is one of the causes for economic, social and environmental problems in the city. Economic related problems include high urban unemployment mainly among youths and women, increasing costs of living as demand for goods and services exceeds supply; fiscal problems (where Addis Ababa like other cities in developing countries lack enough funds/budget to pay for basic services such as housing, transport, policing, public education, wastes removal and street maintenance) and shortage of basic food and non-food items. Social related problems include crimes, traffic congestions, living in urban slums with overcrowded and lack pure drinking water, health facilities, toilet services, etc. In order to curb some of the social, economic and environmental problems mainly along river basins in the city where people are living in overcrowded urban slums, the Government of Ethiopia has launched a five- year project (2020 – 2021) – Beautifying Sheger Project (BSP)– to beautify banks of two major rivers with the combined distance of about 56 km running from Mount Entoto down to the bottom of the Akaki areas passing through the heavily populated part of the city.

  • 1. Introduction the Relationship Between Women's Work And
    The Effect of Women’s Employment on Marriage Formation: The case of rural women in Sebeta Hawas District, Central Ethiopia. (Aynalem Megersa1, Workneh Negatu2, and Eshetu Gurmu3) 1. Introduction The relationship between women’s work and marriage is a widely studied issue. However, much of the literature focuses on the experiences of women in the western countries (see Kuo & Raley, 2014; Lichter et al., 1992), and is in some cases a comparative cross national research in its nature (Ono, 2003). Case studies from developing countries, especially Sub Saharan Africa, tend to be scanty in the body of literature. This little attention is primarily attributed to the fact that women’s employment in the region is related to subsistence agriculture where women primarily engage in unpaid family work in addition to their homemaking responsibilities. Though this pattern is still a fact, women are increasingly improving their market share in the income-earning employment (self-employment and wage employment) over time. For example, looking at the national statistics for Ethiopia (FDRE, 2005; CSA, 2011b), while only 26.8 percent of women were engaged in income-earning activities in 1994, this figure has increased to 59.6 percent in 2007. The statistics also shows that the increasing trend of women’s participation during the aforementioned period is attributed to the tremendous increase observed in the figure among rural women than urban women. This increasing women’s participation in income earning activities is attributed to the Ethiopian government’s increasing attention on job creation for the citizens in general and women in particular in its effort to alleviate poverty.
