  • Heading with Word in Woodblock
    Oromia Region, Area brief Regional Overview Oromia (sometimes spelled Oromiya, in the Oromo language) is one of the nine regions of Ethiopia. The 2007 census reported its population at over 28 million, making it the largest state in terms of both population and area. Oromia shares a boundary with every Region of Ethiopia except for the Tigray Region. With an estimated area of 353,006.81 square kilometers, this region has an estimated population density of 76.93 people per square kilometer. The region includes the former major Ethiopian provinces Arsi, Bale, Hararghe, Illubabor, Kaffa, Shewa, Sidamo, and Welega provinces. Its current capital is officially Addis Ababa (Oromo: Finfinne). Administratively, Adama serves as a center for the regional state. Other important cities and towns include Adama, Ambo, Asella, Bishoftu, Dembidolo, Fiche, Gimbi, Goba, Jimma, Metu, Negele Boran, Nekemte, Shashamane and Waliso. The Regional infant mortality rate is 76 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, similar to the nationwide average of 77; at least half of these deaths occurr in the infants’ first month of life. Low latrine coverage and little awareness of basic hygiene practices across many parts of the region are having a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of children and their families. In view of the above Save the Children in collaboration with the government and other key allies’ works to achieve MDG 4 and 5 by reducing maternal, newborn and child deaths. As part of our EVERYONE campaign we work to raise awareness in communities about safe delivery and child caring practices. We also work with relevant partners to improve the WASH services and practices at household and facility level.

  • MPLS VPN Service
    MPLS VPN Service PCCW Global’s MPLS VPN Service provides reliable and secure access to your network from anywhere in the world. This technology-independent solution enables you to handle a multitude of tasks ranging from mission-critical Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), quality videoconferencing and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) to convenient email and web-based applications while addressing traditional network problems relating to speed, scalability, Quality of Service (QoS) management and traffic engineering. MPLS VPN enables routers to tag and forward incoming packets based on their class of service specification and allows you to run voice communications, video, and IT applications separately via a single connection and create faster and smoother pathways by simplifying traffic flow. Independent of other VPNs, your network enjoys a level of security equivalent to that provided by frame relay and ATM.

The ICRC is present in Ethiopia since the beginning of the 1977 Ethio-Somalia armed conflict. Its current main activities in the country are: addressing the humanitarian needs of the people affected by conflict and violence through an integrated multi-disciplinary response, and reinforced protection dialogue with weapon bearers, visiting places of detention so as to ensure both the treatment and conditions of detainees are matching international standards. Helping people with physical disabilities (PWDs) get access to quality and sustainable physical rehabilitation services. It also works closely with the Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS) to restore family links among people separated by armed conflict and other situations of violence and provides assistance mainly to people displaced by ethnic conflict. The ICRC also promotes the knowledge of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) among members of defense and police forces as well as higher learning institutions, legal professionals and policy makers.

  • Ethiopia Integrated Agro-Industrial Parks (Scpz) Support Project
    Language: English Original: English PROJECT: ETHIOPIA INTEGRATED AGRO-INDUSTRIAL PARKS (SCPZ) SUPPORT PROJECT COUNTRIES: ETHIOPIA ESIA SUMMARY FOR THE 4 PROPOSED IAIPs AND RTCs LOCATED IN SOUTH WEST AMHARA REGION, CENTRAL EASTERN OROMIA REGION, WESTERN TIGRAY REGION AND EASTERN SNNP REGION, ETHIOPIA. Date: July 2018 Team Leader: C. EZEDINMA, Principal Agro Economist AHFR2 Preparation Team E&S Team Members: E.B. KAHUBIRE, Social Development Officer, RDGE4 /SNSC 1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) committed to a five-year undertaking, as part of the first Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP I) to build the foundation to launch the Country from a predominantly agrarian economy into industrialization. Among the sectors to which the second Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II) gives emphasis is manufacturing and industrialization to provide the basis for economic structural change; and a central element in this strategy for transforming the industry sector is development and expansion of industrial parks and villages around the country. 1.2. The development of Integrated Agro Industrial Parks (IAIPs) and accompanying Rural Transformation Centres (RTCs) forms part of the government-run Industrial Parks Development Corporations (IPDC) strategy to make Ethiopia’s agricultural sector globally competitive. The concept is driven by a holistic approach to develop integrated Agro Commodity Procurement Zones (ACPZs) and IAIPs with state of-the-art infrastructure with backward and forward linkages based on the Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development model. The concept of IAIPs is to integrate various value chain components via the cluster approach. Associated RTCs are to act as collection points for fresh farm feed and agricultural produce to be transported to the IAIPs where the processing, management, and distributing (including export) activities are to take place.
