Utilizing the advantage of natural resources for export of high-value agricultural products is the best strategy to achieve rapid economic growth for a country . In view of this private initiatives are encouraged to focus on agricultural investments where they have the best comparative advantage. To this end the Southern Nations Nationalities and People’s Regional State has attempted to identify rural land according to their suitability or best use. Further more , based on the resource potential of the region, feasible industrial project profiles have been prepared for each zone and special woreda. The objective of this investment guide is provide vital information to private investors . (local of foreign) important for investment and enhance their participation in all investment ventures potential in the region . The guide comprises three parts . Part one the general profile of the region which describes the geographic and socio economic feature of the region. Part two deals with the geographic and socio economic profile and investment opportunities of each zone and special woreda’s of the region . Identified land for rural and urban investment as well as important information's related to rental price and regulations are treated is the last section of the guide. MAY 2008 AWASSA 4 THE SOUTHERN NATIONS NATIONALITIES AND PEOPLES REGION (SNNPR) I. LOCATION & ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION The Southern Nations, Nationalities and People's Region (SNNPR) is located in the southern part of the country bordering with Kenya in the south, the Sudan republic in the south west, Gambela Region in the North- West and Oromiya region in the North and East. Geographically the region lies between 40 271-80 301 Latitude North and 340 211 --390 11’ Longitude East.The Region has an area of about 110931.9 sq. km. which ranks 4th in size and accounts for about 10%of the total area of the country. For administrative facilities, this vast region is divided in to 13 Zones, 8 special woredas, and 126 small administrative units called woredas. TOPOGRAPHY The SNNPR constitutes different land forms, which can be broadly divided in to highlands and low lands. The East African Rift valley bisects the highland plateaus in to two physiographic regions i.e. east and west. In the east, there are highland plateaus of Sidama, Burji and Amaro lying between 2300 to 3338 meters above sea level (masl). To the west of the rift valley, there are also major highland plateaus of Gurage, Kaffa, Dawro and Gamogofa that rise from 2500 to 4200 meters above sea level (masl). The highest elevation in the region is mount Guge in Gamogofa with 4207 m.a.s.l and followed by Gurage Mountain that reaches at 3720 mast where as the lowest area is found around Lake Rudolf in Debub Omo zone with a height of 376 meters above sea level. CLMATE Rainfall Due to its proximity to the equatorial area, the region gets rainfall through out the year. However, the amount of rainfall distribution varies from place to place with in the region, the amount duration and intensity generally increases from south towards north, north east and North West. The mean annual rainfall of the region ranges from 200-2200 mm. Temperature Temperature is usually inversely related to altitude. As a consequence, it decreases from southern tip of the region towards North, North- East and North- Western highlands the mean annual temperature of the region varies from lowlands to highland areas of the region i.e. with mean annual temperature of 20 0c to 27c0 in the law lands and between 100c to 200c in the highlands. There is extremely high temperature in lowland areas with annual temperature of 28-350c. MAY 2008 AWASSA 5 SOIL RESOURCE SNNPR is endowed with diverse natural resources of which soil resources serve as a base for all the others. Based on the geomorphology and soils study conducted by land use and regulatory department of the ministry of agriculture, 18 dominant soil associations were identified in Ethiopia. Among which 11 soil associations (luvisols vertisols, Nitosols Gleysols, Andosols, Cambisols, Lithosols, Acrisols, Flurvisols, Regosols and phaeozems) are found in the region. Each one of these soils has got not only its own specific physical, chemical and biological properties, but also associated management practices. LAND USE AND LAND COVER There are about 11 land use and land cover types in SNNPR. as a result, about 23 percent of the total area of the region is intensively cultivated, 8.8 percent is moderately cultivated. Forestland covered with broad - leafed forest accounts 8.3 percent, and 2.65 percent of the region is covered with other forests. The grassland accounts for some 15.6%, Shrub land accounts for about 3% of the area of the region. Bush land which is found in the central, southeast, and south western part of the region accounts for 19%, wood land shares 16%, and the remaining balance is covered with wet lands and lakes. WATER BODIES RIVER BASIN The SNNPRS has a large number of water bodies, perennial rivers and lakes that can be utilized for irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, fishery and essential domestic needs. Among the known rift valley lakes, five of them are found in the region. The region comprises three important river

  • Achieving Water Security: Lessons from Research in Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene in Ethiopia, Practical Action Publishing, Rugby
    Achieving Water Security Praise for the book ‘Water security matters, and it matters most to the most vulnerable individuals, households, communities and nations. Ethiopia is home to many millions of people who are anything but water-secure. This publication shines a light on such people, and it provides numerous inter-disciplinary insights into the causes of water insecurity and into some of the measures which are needed to relieve that insecurity. There are too few research programmes of this type which focus on situations of real need in the world, and which grapple with the difficult issues associated with the relief of poverty and vulnerability. I warmly welcome this contribution to the literature, and hope that this work will inform the practices and policies of government and development part- ners in Ethiopia.’ Richard C. Carter, Visiting Professor, Cranfield University, UK ‘Consolidating these findings from the RiPPLE programme into a single volume to address water security in Ethiopia has generated an essential primer and benchmark in realizing domestic water supply and sanitation in Africa’s second most populous country. Being informed by five years of research and learning, this is a valuable insight into a critical dimension of Ethiopia’s future security.’ Melvin Woodhouse, Associate Director, LTS International, UK Achieving Water Security Lessons from research in water supply, sanitation and hygiene in Ethiopia Edited by Roger Calow, Eva Ludi and Josephine Tucker Practical Action Publishing Ltd The Schumacher Centre Bourton on Dunsmore, Rugby, Warwickshire CV23 9QZ, UK www.practicalactionpublishing.org Copyright © Overseas Development Institute, 2013 ISBN 978 1 85339 7639 Hardback ISBN 978 1 85339 7646 Paperback ISBN 978 1 78044 763 6 Library Ebook ISBN 978 1 78044 764 3 Ebook All rights reserved.

Control efforts have largely focused on the antibiotic treatment (A) and surgery (S) components of the World Health Organizations (WHO) SAFE strategy. Although S and A efforts have had a positive impact, this approach may not be sustainable. Consequently, this study focuses on the latter two primary prevention components; facial cleanliness (F) and environmental improvement (E). A geographical approach is employed to gain a better understanding of how culture, economics, environment and behaviour are interacting to determine disease risk in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia.

  • 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.
