The Effect of Community-Based Interventions on Increasing Family
The Effect of Community-Based Interventions on Increasing Family Planning Utilization in Pastoralist Community of Afar Region Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial By: Mussie Alemayehu Gebreselassie (B.SC, MPH/RH) Advisors: Dr.Afework Mulugeta (Ph.D., Associate Professor) Dr.Araya Abrha (Ph.D., Associate Professor) Feb, 2018 Mekelle, Ethiopia i | P a g e Summary Introduction: Pastoralism, practiced on a quarter of the globe’s surface. An estimated 50 million pastoralists live in sub-Saharan Africa. In Ethiopia, pastoralist community contributes to 12-15% of the total population and 60% of the surface area. Based on the report of Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey 2016 (EDHS) report, Ethiopia shows an impressive gain in family planning utilization. However, such gain is not uniformly distributed across the agrarian and pastoralist region. The Afar region was one of the regions with low performance of family planning utilization (11.6%). Therefore, this study aims at quantifying the effect of the community-based intervention which includes male involvement and women education on increasing family planning service utilization in pastoralist community from Afar region. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial with three arm studies will be employed in 33 clusters of pastoralist community from Afar region. The intervention includes women education and male involvement in family planning utilization and this will be compared with the control group. A total of three data at pre-intervention, midline (follow-up) and post-intervention data will be collected with a four and half months time gap. The data structure will be restructured following collecting the baseline data to enable for follow up of the mother. -

Sero-Prevalence of Contagious Caprine Pleuropneu- Monia in Goat at Selected Woredas of Afar Region
Sero-Prevalence of Contagious Caprine Pleuropneu- monia in Goat at Selected Woredas of Afar Region Feyesa Regassa1* Misrak Netsere1, Tefera Tsertse2, 1 Jimma University, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, School of Veteri- nary Medicine, P. O. Box 307, Jimma, Ethiopia * Corresponding author: [email protected] 2 National Animal Health diagnostic and Investigation Center Abstract A cross - sectional survey was conducted from 17 Oct. to 11 Dec. 2008 with the aim of determining the sero-prevalence and the major risk factors of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) in the selected eight districts of Afar region namely: Afambo, Assaita, Dubti, Mille, Gewane, Amibara, Dewe and Telalak. During the study a total of 329 goat sera, was examined for the presence of specific antibod- ies against Mycoplasma capricolum sub. spp. capripneumoniae using CFT. The result revealed that 22.49% (74) prevalence rate. With respect to goats origin, the serological prevalence rates was 31.85%, 36.36%, 18.75%, 12.50%, 12.16%, 10%, 22.22%, and 19.56% from Afambo, Assaita, Dubti, Mille, Gewane, Amibara, Dewe and Telalak districts respectively. The result indicated that there is significant dif- ference (P < 0.05) in sero positive rate among the different districts. The considered risk factors, age (P<0.05, χ2=7.8792) and sex (P<0.05, χ2=5.9661) were found to be significantly associated with the prevalence of CCPP in the study population. In conclusion the present study indicated that the over all prevalence of CCPP in Afar region is high. The study underlines the importance of further epidemiologi- cal study of the disease and its associated risk factors, and implementation of ap- propriate preventive and control measures. -
