Received 10 January, 2018; Accepted 18 April, 2018 This study assessed agro-pastoralists’ adoption of soil and water conservation measures in Aba’alla. A convergent parallel mixed design was used, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Samples were taken from five selected kebelles of spate irrigation areas in the Woreda. Questionnaires, group discussions, interviews and field observations were used. About 150 households were taken from 2450 households using simple random sampling techniques for administration of the questionnaires. To examine perception of the agro-pastoralists, a five-point Likert rating scale was employed. Moreover, bi- variate and multi-variate statistical analyses were applied. The results showed that adoption of soil and water conservation technologies of agro-pastoralists is significantly and positively correlated with their perception level on soil erosion (r=.308, p<0.01) and its effect (r=.182, p<0.05). Their perception, related with household head’s perception on soil erosion, is positively and significantly correlated with his/her educational status and other factors. The results showed that 35.3, 28.7, 17.3 and 8.7% of sample households are respectively: very low adoption, low adoption, moderate adoption, high adoption; and the remainder are non-adopters. They reported using structural like gabions and bunds and sometimes agronomic methods. Only a few farmers used biological soil conservation methods. Among these methods, soil management methods contour farming and minimum tillage are relatively in wider usage. Factors negatively affecting the farmers’ adoption of SWC included gender, age, marital status, number of children, size of farm, credit and land ownership. However, educational attainment of household, off- farm activity, extension, participation on mass SWC campaign, perceived erosion occurrence, livestock wealth

  • Balancing Coal Mining and Conservation in South-West Ethiopia
    MARCH 2017 POLICY INSIGHTS 40 BALANCING COAL MINING AND CONSERVATION IN SOUTH-WEST ETHIOPIA KASSAHUN KELIFA SULEMAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ethiopia is confronted by the challenges of a growing population and a diminishing natural resources base. The country’s economic growth has relied heavily on agriculture, but progress in this sector has been hampered by the lack of access to agricultural inputs like fertiliser. Ethiopia has devised a range of development strategies for meeting agricultural and energy needs through the extraction of coal resources. Exploiting the considerable coal deposits found in Ethiopia’s south-western Afromontane forests would produce coal phosphate fertiliser and electricity in the coming decades. However, the forests are sites of exceptional biodiversity. With these conflicting interests in an area of high biodiversity, Ethiopia now faces pressure from competing uses of forestland, forcing the government to identify ecologically and economically feasible approaches to reconcile biodiversity conservation and coal extraction. AUTHOR INTRODUCTION DR. KASSAHUN KELIFA A large proportion of mineral exploration and extraction across the world SULEMAN is a Researcher occurs in areas where poverty is pervasive and biodiversity is threatened. with the Governance Almost three-quarters of active mine exploration and extraction sites are in of Africa’s Resources areas regarded by conservationists as intact bionetworks with considerable Programme at SAIIA. ecological value.1 As a result, there is increasing emphasis on reducing the impact of extractive industries on the environment, as well as the need to improve the welfare of the communities who depend on ecosystem services for their livelihoods. The south-west region of Ethiopia offers an important case study for the conservation– mining dilemma.

    Summary and Statistical Report of the 2007 Population and Housing Census Results Summary and Statistical Report of the 2007 Population and Housing Census Results 1 2 Summary and Statistical Report of the 2007 Population and Housing Census Results This document was printed by United Nations Population Fund(UNFPA) Summary and Statistical Report of the 2007 Population and Housing Census Results Summary and Statistical Report of the 2007 Population and Housing Census Results 3 Acknowledgements The third Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia was conducted in May and Novem- ber 2007. In accordance with the Census Commission Re-establishment Proclamation, the House of Peoples Representatives endorsed, on 4 December 2008, the census findings as organized by age, sex, religion, ethnicity, region and urban and rural residence. This sum- mary report contains an extract of the census data from this first release and the remaining census results will be disseminated subsequently. The Population and Housing Census which is a huge, complex and costly statistical opera- tion has been successfully completed through the concerted efforts of different government and non-government organizations, development partners, and individuals. The Office of the Census Commission and the Central Statistical Agency would, therefore, like to thank all who have contributed to the successful completion of the census. The Office of the Census Commission is very grateful to the Government of Ethiopia for its huge financial and administrative support. The Office is grateful to development partners particularly the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Department for International Development (DfID) for their generous financial, logistics and technical support.
