Accurate estimates of malaria distribution are required for planning, implementation and evaluation of malaria control programs. The main objective of this study is to examine spatial patterns of malaria distribution in West Shoa zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. Malaria incidence data for 2009 from all health centers of the zone, population size and meteorological data were used. The statistical methods used include global and local measures of spatial autocorrelation as well as spatial autoregressive model. The results of this study indicate that malaria incidence varies according to geographical location, with eco-climatic condition and showing significant positive spatial autocorrelation. Significant local clustering of malaria incidence occurs between pairs of neighboring districts (known as Woredas). Malaria incidence was higher in the western part of the zone and lower in the eastern part of the zone. The results of spatial lag model indicate a significant relationship between malaria incidence and meteorological variables (mid-land zone, hot zone, rainfall, minimum temperature and maximum temperature). vi Chapter One Introduction 1.1 Background of the Study Malaria is the most common tropical disease, remaining widespread throughout the tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of Africa, Asia and America. It is a major cause of illness and death in large area of the developing world, especially Africa. According to the World Health Organization report (WHO, 2008), at the end of 2007 there were 109 malaria endemic countries and 3.3 billion people were at the risk of malaria. Malaria causes at least 300 million and possibly as many as 500 million cases of acute illness each year, which result in 1to 3 million deaths each year. Ninety percent of deaths occur in sub-Sahara Africa. The majority of these deaths are among children less than five years of age and pregnant women. These estimates are not reliable because of inadequate malaria case reporting in most endemic

Dairy has been identified as a priority area for the Ethiopian government, which aims to increase Ethiopian milk production at an average annual growth rate of 15.5% during the GTP II period (2015-2020), from 5,304 million litters to 9,418 million litters. This study was carried out to assess determinants of dairy product market participation of the rural households in the case of Adaberga district in West Shewa zone of Oromia national regional state, Ethiopia. The study took a random sample of 120 dairy producer households by using multi-stage sampling procedure and employing a probability proportional to sample size sampling technique. For the individual producer, the decision to participate or not to participate in dairy production was formulated as binary choice probit model to identify factors that determine dairy product market participation.

  • Prioritization of Shelter/NFI Needs
    Prioritization of Shelter/NFI needs Date: 31st May 2018 Shelter and NFI Needs As of 18 May 2018, the overall number of displaced people is 345,000 households. This figure is based on DTM round 10, partner’s assessments, government requests, as well as the total of HH supported since July 2017. The S/NFI updated its prioritisation in early May and SNFI Cluster partners agreed on several criteria to guide prioritisation which include: - 1) type of emergency, 2) duration of displacement, and 3) sub-standard shelter conditions including IDPS hosted in collective centres and open-air sites and 4) % of vulnerable HH at IDP sites. Thresholds for the criteria were also agreed and in the subsequent analysis the cluster identified 193 IDP hosting woredas mostly in Oromia and Somali regions, as well as Tigray, Gambella and Addis Ababa municipality. A total of 261,830 HH are in need of urgent shelter and NFI assistance. At present the Cluster has a total of 57,000 kits in stocks and pipeline. The Cluster requires urgent funding to address the needs of 204,830 HHs that are living in desperate displacement conditions across the country. This caseload is predicted to increase as the flooding continues in the coming months. Shelter and NFI Priority Activities In terms of priority activities, the SNFI Cluster is in need of ES/NFI support for 140,259 HH displaced mainly due to flood and conflict under Pillar 2, primarily in Oromia and Somali Regions. In addition, the Shelter and NFI Cluster requires immediate funding for recovery activities to support 14,000 HH (8,000 rebuild and 6,000 repair) with transitional shelter support and shelter repair activities under Pillar 3.

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals and one of the endemic diseases in Ethiopia. (e study was aimed to estimate the seroprevalence and to assess associated risk factors of foot and mouth disease seroprevalence in West Shewa Zone. A total of 384 sera samples were collected from randomly selected cattle and tested using ELISA for antibodies against nonstructural proteins of foot and mouth disease viruses based on IDEXX FMD Multispecies Ab Test (IDEXX Laboratories Inc, USA). (e seroprevalence of foot and mouth disease in West Shewa Zone was found to be 40.4% (95% CI: 35.46–45.27) at an animal and 74.7% (95% CI: 65.58–83.85) at the herd level.
