  • Demography and Health
    SNNPR Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Demography and Health Aynalem Adugna, July 2014 www.EthioDemographyAndHealth.Org 2 SNNPR is one of the largest regions in Ethiopia, accounting for more than 10 percent of the country’s land area [1]. The mid-2008 population is estimated at nearly 16,000,000; almost a fifth of the country’s population. With less than one in tenth of its population (8.9%) living in urban areas in 2008 the region is overwhelmingly rural. "The region is divided into 13 administrative zones, 133 Woredas and 3512 Kebeles, and its capital is Awassa." [1] "The SNNPR is an extremely ethnically diverse region of Ethiopia, inhabited by more than 80 ethnic groups, of which over 45 (or 56 percent) are indigenous to the region (CSA 1996). These ethnic groups are distinguished by different languages, cultures, and socioeconomic organizations. Although none of the indigenous ethnic groups dominates the ethnic makeup of the national population, there is a considerable ethnic imbalance within the region. The largest ethnic groups in the SNNPR are the Sidama (17.6 percent), Wolayta (11.7 percent), Gurage (8.8 percent), Hadiya (8.4 percent), Selite (7.1 percent), Gamo (6.7 percent), Keffa (5.3 percent), Gedeo (4.4 percent), and Kembata (4.3 percent) …. While the Sidama are the largest ethnic group in the region, each ethnic group is numerically dominant in its respective administrative zone, and there are large minority ethnic groups in each zone. The languages spoken in the SNNPR can be classified into four linguistic families: Cushitic, Nilotic, Omotic, and Semitic.

Rheeder Co-promoter: Dr M Kotze Graduation ceremony: October 2020 Student number: 31495958 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I am thankful to my Heavenly Father, who becomes everything while I am away from my family for certain times. In all my ups and downs, He has been beside me. I am deeply grateful to my supervisors at North-West University for their erudite, tolerant and dedicated guidance. I extend my thankful gratitude to Professor R. Rheeder and Dr. Mantiza Kotze, who brought everything from nothing through their knowledgeable and attentive guidance and outstanding authorship inspired me onto the appropriate research path and oversaw that my research aims were duly reached. Again I want to thank Rev. Claude Vosloo, an editor of my thesis who treated me as his own brother in everything. I want to thank my family members; My wife Konjit, my kids Miracle, Benyas and Bethel who carried unbearable burden in absence of me. Then, I thank Dr. Tim Jacobson, who stands beside me from the beginning to the end. It was unlikely to begin and to finish my study without him. I want to thank Daniel Wiens and Kerry Nobuhel Wiens for their dedicated support from the first day till the end.
