    American Economic Journal: Applied Economics 2015, 7(1): 54–89 http://dx.doi.org/10.1257/app.20130475 The Impacts of Microcredit: Evidence from Ethiopia† By Alessandro Tarozzi, Jaikishan Desai, and Kristin Johnson* We use data from a randomized controlled trial conducted in 2003–2006 in rural Amhara and Oromiya Ethiopia to study the impacts of increasing access to microfinance( on a) number of socioeconomic outcomes, including income from agriculture, animal husbandry, nonfarm self-employment, labor supply, schooling and indicators of women’s empowerment. We document that despite sub- stantial increases in borrowing in areas assigned to treatment the null of no impact cannot be rejected for a large majority of outcomes. JEL G21, I20, J13, J16, O13, O16, O18 ( ) eginning in the 1970s, with the birth of the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, Bmicrocredit has played a prominent role among development initiatives. Many proponents claim that microfinance has had enormously positive effects among borrowers. However, the rigorous evaluation of such claims of success has been complicated by the endogeneity of program placement and client selection, both common obstacles in program evaluations. Microfinance institutions MFIs typi- ( ) cally choose to locate in areas predicted to be profitable, and or where large impacts / are expected. In addition, individuals who seek out loans in areas served by MFIs and that are willing and able to form joint-liability borrowing groups a model often ( preferred by MFIs are likely different from others who do not along a number of ) observable and unobservable factors. Until recently, the results of most evaluations could not be interpreted as conclusively causal because of the lack of an appropriate control group see Brau and Woller 2004 and Armendáriz de Aghion and Morduch ( 2005 for comprehensive early surveys .

The project is currently being financed by Kefi Minerals Plc with construction of an open pit mine planned to commence in early 2018. The total indicated and inferred resource is 20.2 @ 2.65 g/t gold for 1.72 Moz with an open pit ore reserve of 1.05 Moz gold. Gold and platinum has been historically mined by alluvial and eluvial methods in the district and it is known that mining has been performed in the Arabian Nubian Shield (ANS) for at least 6,000 years, from thousands of an- cient mines in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Sudan and Eritrea (Johnson et al., 2011, Johnson et al., 2017). From 3,000 BC, the Pharaohs defined North Ethiopia as the Land of Punt, rich in resources such as gold, myrrh and ivory (Klemm et al., 2001).

Box 395, Nekemte, Ethiopia ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article History: A cross-sectional study was conducted in October 2015 to December 2016 in eleven (11) peasant Received 15th October, 2018 associations (PAs) randomly selected from three purposively chosen districts (Gimbi, Lalo Assabi Received in revised form and Nedjo) of West Wollega Zone, Oromiya Regional State, Western Ethiopia to estimate the 14th November, 2018 prevalence of donkey trypanosomosis and to identify the trypanosomes species involved and their Accepted 20th December, 2018 relationship with the mean PCV. Blood samples were collected from the ear vein of randomly st Published online 31 January, 2019 selected 384 donkeys and examined by Buffy coat technique.

However, the disease was statistically significant among animals from Gimbi (P=0.000, PCV, Prevalence, OR=3.807, CI=1.947-7.44) and Lalo Assabi (P=0.000, OR=5.3, CI=2.5-11) districts as compared to Trypanosomes.
