EHA Weekly Activity Report Ethiopia Programme EHA Weekly Activity Report Ethiopia programme (EHA/HAC) Weekly Report. Duty Station: Addis Ababa Reporting Period: week 26 (23 rd June-29 th June 2008.) HIGH LIGHTS: Drought Food Security Situation The food security situation in SNNP, Somali, Eastern Oromiya and certain areas of Amhara regions continues to be of great concern. In SNNPR such coping mechanisms as reduction of meals, migration, selling of farming tools and begging are widespread. Increased admission rates to Outpatient Therapeutic Programmes (OTPs) have been reported in Kembata Tembaro and Hadiya zones. The food security situation is rapidly deteriorating in Arsi, West Shoa, East and West Hararghe zones of Oromiya Region. Disease outbreak situation: Acute watery Diarrhoea (AWD): In week 25 a total of 146 cases with no death reported nationally from 3 woredas in 2 regions. Cases have increased by 34% in week 25 as compared to week 24. Health Sector Coordination meetings. Health Partners Forum and Emergency Health and Nutrition Task Force meetings were held this week to discuss the current emergency. I. GENERAL SITUATION: a) Political, social, security overview for the week The impact of the drought and food security continues to be a major challenge for the government and humanitarian community in the country. Market prices of food commodities have increased and some of the coping mechanisms adopted are temporary migration to nearby towns where people end up working as cheap labourers, selling farming tools and other assets, begging and reducing meals are still being observed. No security incident this week and WHO continues to implement its activities with the FMOH and partners through out the country. b) Main events of interest/ concern for health (displacements , conflicts, disease outbreaks, etc .) Drought FOOD SECURITY • Oromiya - Food insecurity is becoming worse in Arsi, West Shoa and West Arsi zone districts except for Siraro zone where the situation is now under control due to the ongoing food assistance and nutrition interventions. There is new army worm infestation in 14 woredas of Arsi, although Bale zone now has the armyworm under control. Food insecurity is worsening due to the death of livestock, high grain prices and low livestock prices. In Arsi zone, food aid monitors witnessed wild food ‘sama’ (hard nettle plant) being consumed. • Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR ): There was an armyworm outbreak on maize and sorghum crops and pasture land in six zones. Rainfall was reported normal in most woredas. Land preparation for Meher crops has started, although shortage of seeds and fertilizer pose problems. Market prices of food commodities are still high. Some of the coping mechanisms adopted are temporarily migrating to nearby towns where people end up working as cheap labourers, selling farming tools and other assets, begging and reducing meals, are still being observed. Malnutrition seems to be getting worse in Hadiya, Kembata and Tembaro zones with increasing admissions to the outreach therapeutic programmes (OTPs). • In the Somali region: In Jijiga, locally produced food items like maize and sorghum are totally absent in the local markets of Fik and Hamaro due to crop failure. There is limited supply of imported food like rice, wheat flour and spaghetti. Prices of imported foods are very high compared to what it was in May 2008. Livestock prices have decreased owing to low demand. - In Gode zone rapid increases in the number of malnutrition cases have been reported in all woredas. Five children died in Libahle and Kudale woredas after eating wild fruit because of food shortages. In East Imey woreda, livestock were dying after eating pasture with armyworm lava. Availability of local food has declined as a result of failed local production. Imported foods, including rice and wheat flour, whose prices are increasing, are used as staple foods. The most affected are families with limited livestock and low-income before the drought. The April 2008 relief food allocation which was dispatched has minimized food insecurity; however, it appears that a short-term improvement is unlikely to fully meet increased needs of the affected communities. - Degehabur – There is no general water shortage as recent Gu rains have replenished water points for the time being, although the quantity of water in birka (local water source) dependent areas is of concern. Livestock conditions remain poor due to inadequate pasture during the poor Gu season combined with the effect of the long dry Jilaal season. Pastoralists are migrating out in search of pasture. Demand for livestock is low, especially cattle for restocking, as people fear the animals may not survive. Zonal authorities in Degehabur reported severe food shortages in some kebeles (villages), which have been exacerbated with people migrating here from parts of Gode and Fik zones. - Kebredehar – An increased number of severely malnourished children in Kebredehar hospital was reported by the woreda health bureau. Most of the local water sources (Birkas) have dried up in the pastoralist Birka dependent areas. Livestock body conditions have not recovered. Begging, reduction of meals and selling personal assets continue as coping mechanisms in the area. Acute watery Diarrhoea (AWD): In week 25 a total of 146 cases with no death reported nationally. Out of the total cases Oromia reported 121 cases & Amhara 25 cases. Three woredas are reporting AWD cases currently (Akaki & Sebeta Hawas from Oromia & Takusa woreda from Amhara region). An increase in the number of reported cases have been observed from weeks 23 to 25 (see table and graph below). As of week 25 a cumulative total of 767 cases and 9 deaths have been reported from 17 districts in 4 Regions. Major of these cases (56%) have been reported from Oromia Region. Increases in the weekly incidence of the disease have been observed from weeks 23 to 25 nationally with 19% of the cases reported in week 25 ( see table 1 below). The number of affected districts reporting cases has been fluctuating from 4 districts in week 22, three districts in week 23, and five districts in week 24 and 2 districts in week 25. Table 1.

ANALYSIS & HEALTH CONSEQUENCES: Health problems & Needs of affected populations. Drought: FOOD SECURITY • WFP plans to resource some 80 percent of the annual relief requirements (591,000 mt) for 4.6 million beneficiaries. The current shortfall for the national relief operation amounts to some 380,000 mt. The current shortfall for WFP’s input to the national relief requirements amounts to 262,000 mt valued at US$212.4 million. Due to shortage of food, WFP was obliged to support the government to prioritize assistance to the most acutely affected districts. It was reported that only half of the relief caseload can be reached in June/July 2008. Based on the hot spot list, WFP has been working with the Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Agency (DPPA) to prioritize relief distributions during June to September 2008, considering the inadequate resources. Priority was given to woredas which are priorities 1 and 2. • Further food assistance to drought-affected PSNP beneficiaries will depend on the availability of food resources to the programme. WFP’s contribution to the PSNP faces a shortfall of 90,000 mt of cereals valued at US$72 million for three months’ food assistance. • WFP finalized a proposal for a grant of US$10 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for general relief food distributions. During January to June 2008, some 113,065 mt of mixed commodities (cereals, pulses, oil and blended food) have been allocated under the relief component, and an amount of 67,722 mt dispatched to date. Acute watery diarrhoea: AWD is still being reported from three woreda of Oromia & Amhara three regions. The risk factors contributing to the transmission of AWD (inadequate safe water, poor personal & environmental hygiene) are still the major challenges to combat the problem in the affected communities. The needs of the affected population are access to adequate health care, portable water supply, proper sanitation facilities and improved hygiene practices. III. ACTIONS (in relation or response to the issues mentioned above): a) WHO activities (field trips, assessments, gap filling, coordination, information sharing, training, etc.) & needs (Human resources, material, infrastructure) Acute watery diarrhoea The Health Partners Forum of the health cluster meeting led by WHO was held on the 26 th of June 2008. Most of the participants raised & discussed in detail the recurrence of AWD & activities so far conducted to address this problem. It was noted that the interventions so far conducted has not brought impact on the risk factors contributing to the transmission of AWD. Therefore the participants agreed to work with FMOH to assess the situation & strengthen coordination, surveillance & hygiene promotion activities. Other health threats Measles : Three cases of measles have been reported from N. Shoa zone of Merabete woreda. As of 22 June 2008, the cumulative total has reached 7251 cases & 17 deaths with CFR of 0.2%. WHO in collaboration with UNICEF, FMOH and RHBs are planning for mass SIAs in Western and central Oromia, Gambella and Benzangul Gumuz. Coordination The Health Partners Forum of the health cluster meeting led by WHO was held on the 26 th of June 2008.

  • ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update March 2011 Food Insecurity
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update March 2011 1 Food insecurity in southern Ethiopia worsening; poor rains are anticipated • Following the poor October to December 2010 rains, southern Figure 1. Estimated food security outcomes, March and southeastern pastoral and agropastoral parts of the 2011 country face critical shortages of water and pasture. The anticipated below normal April to June 2011 rains are likely to further limit the availability of pastoral resources leading to increased humanitarian assistance needs in these areas. • Inadequate rains affected land preparation and planting of crops in the main belg producing areas of Amhara, Oromia, and SNNP Regions. The 2011 February to May rains have begun late and been erratically distributed. The rains have also affected the performance of sweet potatoes in the root crop dependent zones of SNNPR. Food insecurity among the poor and very poor households in these zones will be an emerging concern from April onwards. Source: FEWS NET and WFP • Despite an average to above‐average 2010 main season Figure 2. Estimated food security outcomes, April harvest, staple cereal prices have risen atypically over recent to June 2011 months. Price increases in the southern and southeastern pastoral and agropastoral areas are especially large. The late onset of the belg/gu/genna (February to May) rains and increased fuel prices are likely to add additional upward pressure on food prices. Updated food security outlook through June 2011 The 2010 meher harvest (October to January), stabilized food security, and thus many households in the eastern meher producing areas of eastern Tigray and Amhara, parts of the Rift Valley, and East and West Hararghe zones of Oromia regions, which are typical at‐risk areas, remain moderately food secure.

  • ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update November 2011
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update November 2011 Good rains likely to stabilize food security in the south The October to December Deyr rains are performing well Figure 1. Most-likely food security outcomes (October in most parts of the southern and southeastern pastoral to December 2011) and agropastoral areas, easing the shortage of pastoral resources. This, coupled with ongoing humanitarian assistance, will continue to stabilize food security among poor and very poor households in these areas. Nonetheless, about 4 million people will continue to require humanitarian assistance through the end of 2011 across the country. Prices of staple foods have generally started declining following the fresh Meher harvest, although they remain higher than the five‐year average. This will continue to constrain access to food over the coming months among the rural and urban poor who heavily depend on purchase to fulfill their minimum food requirements. For more information on FEWS NET’s Food Insecurity Severity Scale, During the January to March 2012 period, Crisis level food please see: www.fews.net/FoodInsecurityScale insecurity will extend to the dominantly Belg producing Source: FEWS NET Ethiopia and WFP zones in the northeastern highlands as well as into some marginal Meher cropping areas due to the below normal Figure 2. Most‐likely food security outcomes (January to 2011 harvests. Similarly, as the long dry season March 2012) (December to March) progresses, deterioration in food security is likely in some southern pastoral and agropastoral woredas which were severely affected by the recent drought. Updated food security outlook through March 2012 Food security in most parts of the country has stabilized as a result of improved market supply and declining prices following the Meher harvest, ongoing humanitarian assistance, and the current good Deyr/Hageya rains in the southern and southeast pastoral and agropastoral.

  • Prevalence of Bovine Cysticercosis at Holeta Municipality Abattoir and Taenia Saginata at Holeta Town and Its Surroundings, Central Ethiopia
    Research Article Journal of Veterinary Science & Technology Volume 12:3, 2020 ISSN: 2157-7579 Open Access Prevalence of Bovine Cysticercosis at Holeta Municipality Abattoir and Taenia Saginata at Holeta Town and its Surroundings, Central Ethiopia Seifu Hailu* Ministry of Agriculture, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Abstract A cross section study was conducted during November 2011 to March 2012 to determine the prevalence of Cysticercosis in animals, Taeniasis in human and estimate the worth of Taeniasis treatment in Holeta town. Active abattoir survey, questionnaire survey and inventories of pharmaceutical shops were performed. From the total of 400 inspected animals in Holeta municipality abattoir, 48 animals had varying number of C. bovis giving an overall prevalence 12% (48/400). Anatomical distribution of the cyst showed that highest proportions of C. bovis cyst were observed in tongue, followed by masseter, liver and shoulder heart muscles. Of the total of 190 C. bovis collected during the inspection, 89(46.84%) were found to be alive while other 101 (53.16%) were dead cysts. Of the total 70 interviewed respondents who participated in this study, 62.86% (44/70) had contract T. saginata Infection, of which, 85% cases reported using modern drug while the rest (15%) using traditional drug. The majority of the respondent had an experience of raw meat consumption as a result of traditional and cultural practice. Human Taeniasis prevalence showed significant difference (p<0.05) with age, occupational risks and habit of raw meat consumption. Accordingly individuals in the adult age groups, occupational high risk groups and habit of raw meat consumers had higher odds of acquiring Taeniasis than individuals in the younger age groups, occupational law risk groups and cooked meat consumers, respectively.
