Community Managed Project Story from Dejen Woreda of Amhara Community Managed Project story from Dejen Woreda of Amhara region Published by Melaku Tekola · April 30 at 1:23 PM · Dear Facebook friends and COWASH Families; hope you had a blessed Fasika/Passover/Ethiopian Easter Celebration. It is our earnest hope that you join our journey and continue sharing our success and challenges. Today, we are excited to share a story written by Amhara Regional Communications team, Amhara Water Bureau Communications Office, from their field visit in COWASH Woreda and Zones. We thank the Amhara Regional Communications Network for rolling this out. Short translation of the post: Communities in East Gojjam Zone, Dejen Woreda, Yezemeten Kebele revealed that due to COWASH and Community Managed Approach, the community got better access for clean water in the Woreda. In the field visit conducted by Amhara Water Office, the community members told visitors that they were severely affected by lack of clean water. Thanks to CMP, now they said that they no more waste time and energy looking for water. According to W/o Wude Ayele, WASCHO member said that the water point was built by the community with leadership of women. She added, there is a sanitation committee assigned to keep the safety of the water point. Ato. Birhan Alemu, resident of the community said, his children were used to be sick due to the water borne diseases called Alekit and was nearly saved from death. He lost cattle due to the unclean water. Now he said it is a big relief after the construction and happy to enjoy safe water. CMP Supervisor Habtie Teshome, revealed that COWASH not only built community water points but also has constructed school latrines to promote sanitation in the Woreda. He also stated that to build capacity of the Woreda, COWASH provides vehicles and other materials to the Woreda. ከቅርብ ጊዜ ወዲህ የንፁህ መጠጥ ውሃ ተደራሽ እየሆንን ነው ሲሉ በምስራቅ ጎጃም ዞን ደረጃን ወረዳ የዘመትን ቀበሌ ነዋራዎች ተናገሩ፡፡ ነዋሪዎቹ በንፁህ መጠጥ ውሃ እጥረት ስንሰቃይና ለመንግስትም አቤት ስንል ቆይተናል፤ ጊዜው ደረሶ ዛሬ ጥያቄያችን መልስ አግኝቷል፡፡ አሁን ላይ ለውሃ ፍለጋ የምናባክነው ጊዜም ሆነ ጉልበት የለም ይላሉ፡፡ ወ/ሮ ውዴ አየለ በደጀን ወረዳ የዘመትን ቀበሌ ነዋሪና የውሃ ጣቢያው ኮሜቴ ናቸው፡፡ ከአሁኑ በፊት የነበረውን የውሃ ችግር እንዲቀረፍ መንግስትም ሆነ ህብረተሰቡ የድርሻውን ተወጥቷል ይላሉ፡፡ ወይዘሮ ውዴ አክለው በውሃ ተቋሙ ግንባታ ላይ የህብረተሰቡ የነቃ ተሳትፎ የጎላ እንደነበር ገልፀው፤ ከተጠናቀቀም በኋላ የውሃና ስነ ንፅህና ኮሜቴውና ተጠቃሚው ማህበረሰብ በአግባቡ እያስተዳደረው መሆኑን ተናግረዋል፡፡ ሴቶች በኮሜቴው ጉልህ ተሳታፊ መሆናቸውን ደግሞ ስራችንን ስኬታማ አድርታል ይላሉ ወይዘሮዋ፡፡ የቀበሌው ነዋሪ የሆኑት አቶ ብርሃን አለሙ በበኩላቸው ብዙ የመጠጥ ውሃ ችግር ይገጥማቸው እንደነበር ይባስ ብሎም ልጃቸው ከውሃ ጋር አለቅት ጨምሮ ጠጥቶ ከሞት እንደተረፈም አጫውተውናል፡፡ እንስሳቱም ቢሆን በዛው መጠን በአለቅት ይሰቃዩ እንደነበርና፤ ታዲያ ዛሬ ያ ሁሉ ፈተና አልፎ የንፁህ መጠጥ ውሃ ተጠቃሚ ሆነናል ይላሉ፡፡ በፅ/ቤቱ የማህበረሰብ ትግበራ ፕሮግራም አስተባባሪ አቶ ሀብቴ ተሾመ እንደዚሁ ኘሮግራሙ በንፁህ መጠጥ ውሃ ብቻም ሳይሆን በት/ቤቶችና ጤና ጣቢያ ተቋማት የመጠጥ ውሃና መፀዳጃ ቤቶችን እየገነባ የወረዳውን ህ/ሰብ የንፁህ መጠጥ ውሃና ሳኒቴሽን ተደራሽ እያደረገ ነው ብለዋል፡፡ በማስከተልም የማህበረሰብ ትግበራ ፕሮግራም በጀት በመመደብ ዘርፉን ከማገዝ ባሻገር የተለያዩ ቁሳቁሶችን እንደ ተሽከሪካሪና ኤሌክትሮኒክስ ዕቃዎችን በማቅረብ በአግባቡ እየደገፈን ነው ይላሉ፡፡ አክለውም ፕሮጀክቱ የወረዳውን ውሃና ስነ ንፅህና ተደራሽነት ከፍ አድረጎታል ለዚህም ምስጋና ሊቸረው ይገባል ብለዋል፡፡ .

  • Determinants of Rural Household's Livelihood Strategies in Machakel Woreda, East Gojjam Zone, Amhara Nation Regional State, Ethiopia
    Developing Country Studies www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-607X (Paper) ISSN 2225-0565 (Online) Vol.8, No.10, 2018 Determinants of Rural Household's Livelihood Strategies in Machakel Woreda, East Gojjam Zone, Amhara Nation Regional State, Ethiopia Adey Belete Department of Disaster Risk Management & Sustainable Development, Institute of Disaster Risk Management & Food Security Studies, Bahir Dar University, P.O.Box 5501 Abstract Rural farm households face an increasing need of looking for alternative income sources to supplement their small scale agricultural activities. However, livelihood strategy is determined by complex and yet empirically untested factors in Machakel Woreda. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the determinants of livelihood strategies in the study area. The data were obtained from 144 sample household heads that were selected through a combination of multi-stage sampling like purposive and simple random sampling techniques. Data were collected through key informant interview, focus group discussion and interview schedule. Multinomial logistic regression model used to analyze determinants of livelihood strategies. Data analysis revealed that farm alone activities has a leading contribution to the total income of sample households (69.8%) followed by non-farm activities (17.2%) and off- farm activities (13 %.). Crop production was the dominant livelihood in the study area and land fragmentation, decline in productivity, occurrence of disaster risk like crop and livestock disease, hail storm, flash flood etc. and market fluctuation were major threatens of livelihood. Four livelihood strategies namely farm alone, farm plus non-farm, farm plus off-farm and farm plus non-farm plus off-farm were identified. Age, education level, sex of household head, marital status, credit access, farm land size, livestock holding size , agro-ecology, family size, frequency of extension contact, distance from market and total net income were major determinants of livelihood strategies in the study area.

  • Farmers' Varietal Selection of Food Barley Genotypes in Gozamin
    American-Eurasian J. Agric. & Environ. Sci., 17 (3): 232-238, 2017 ISSN 1818-6769 © IDOSI Publications, 2017 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.aejaes.2017.232.238 Farmers’ Varietal Selection of Food Barley Genotypes in Gozamin District of East Gojjam Zone, Northwestern Ethiopia Yalemtesfa Firew Guade Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Debre Markos University, Ethiopia Abstract: In this study, the performance of four improved food barley varieties obtained from Holleta Agricultural Research Center and local variety collected from the study area were evaluated in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications under farmers’ participatory selection scheme during 2016 main cropping season in Gozamin district, East Gojjam Zone, Northwestern Ethiopia. The objectives of this study were to select adaptable and high yielding food barley genotype(s) using farmers’ preferences and to identify farmers’ preference and selection criteria of the study area. Farmers’ set; grain yield, early maturity, tillering ability and spike length as their selection criteria at maturity stage of the crop. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated significant differences among genotypes for all traits tested except number of effective tillers and thousand seed weight which were non-significant at 5% probability level. The improved variety EH-1493 (133 days) was the earliest while local variety (142 days) was the latest. The highest mean grain yield was obtained from HB-1307 (3700 kg ha-1 ) and Cross-41/98 (3133 kg ha-1 ) whereas the lowest from the local variety (1693 kg ha 11). Similarly, HB-1307(5033 kg ha ) and Cross-41/98 (3633.33 kg ha 1) had given comparatively the highest above ground biomass yield which was used as a source of feed for animals.

Small and scattered parcels impede a necessary increase in agricultural efficiency. Land consolidation is a proper tool to solve inefficiencies in agricultural production, as it enables consolidating plots based on the consent of landholders. Its major benefits are that individual farms get larger, more compact, contiguous parcels, resulting in lower cultivation efforts. This paper investigates the determinants influencing the willingness of landholder farmers to participate in voluntary land consolidation processes. The study was conducted in Gozamin District, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. The study was mainly based on survey data collected from 343 randomly selected landholder farmers. In addition, structured interviews and focus group discussions with farmers were held. The collected data were analyzed quantitatively mainly by using a logistic regression model and qualitatively by using focus group discussions and expert panels.

Or [email protected] Tel: +251 255 530 313. This research was initiated to document Seed System on tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.)Trotter]; specifically, quantify the relative importance of formal and farmer tef seed system. A total of 100 sample households drawn from four PAs of the two districts were interviewed using structured interview schedule. Qualitative data were also collected using group discussion among selected tef growers and extension development agents who were working in the respective PAs. The use of appropriate technologies like fertilizer, improved seed, weeding and/or herbicide application with the recommended rate and time helped to increase productivity. Dissemination of improved varieties to farmers is limited. The informal seed system should prioritize improving seed quality by increasing awareness and skills of farmers, improving seed quality of early generations and market access. In conclusion, to enhance tef productivity in east Gojjam zone through supply of improved varieties and quality seed it is important to integrate formal and farmer (informal) seed system. Key words: Farmer and formal seed system 1 | Page Vol 1, No 3 / 2 0 1 3 ABC Research Alert INTRODUCTION Ethiopian farmers grow tef for a number of merits, which is mainly attributed to the socioeconomic, cultural and agronomic benefits.

  • Assessing the Impact of Watershed Management Interventions on Livelihood of Small- Scale Farmers and Ecosystem Services in Choke
    Global Journal of Science Frontier Research: H Environment & Earth Science Volume 20 Issue 3 Version 1.0 Year 2020 Type : Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Online ISSN: 2249-4626 & Print ISSN: 0975-5896 Assessing the Impact of Watershed Management Interventions on Livelihood of Small- Scale Farmers and Ecosystem Services in Choke Mountains, East Gojjam Zone of Amhara Region, Ethiopia By Yenealem Gemi & Belay Semane Addis Abeba University Abstract- In Ethiopia, natural resources management interventions have been implemented since the 1980s to restore degraded landscapes. However, little efforts have been made to investigate the impacts of natural resources management interventions on ecosystem services and livelihood. This study was conducted in the Choke Mountain, Northern Ethiopia, to investigate the effects of community-based watershed management interventions on ecosystem services and livelihood of smallholder farmers. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to collect and analyze data. The results indicated that deforestation, population pressure, topography, overgrazing, and continued cultivation are major causes of land degradation. Consequences of land degradation include a reduction in farm size, a decrease in soil fertility and crop production, drought, food insecurity, and poverty. Also, the results demonstrated that a shortage of clean water and a decline in vegetation composition are among the impacts of land degradation on ecosystem services. Keywords: benefit-sharing,

The institutional setup, whether separated for urban and rural land administration or unified, is responsible for implementing the legal and policy framework. In most regions of Ethiopia, including the Amhara National Regional State, the institutional setup is separated, which results in increasing difficulties to administer land efficiently. The purpose of this study was to assess the challenges and opportunities of the institutional dichotomy between urban and rural land administration in the Amhara region. Primary and secondary data were used in the study. Questionnaires, focus group discussions (FGDs) and interviews with key informants were applied to collect the data. As the findings of the study revealed, about 55% of the respondents agreed that the integration between urban and rural land administration institutions is weak. In addition, 38% of the respondents also confirmed that the integration between the two independent Citation: Nega, W.; Tenaw, M.; Hunie, Y.; Agegnehu, S.K.; institutions is very weak.
