The hiring process will end by Q2 FY19. In parallel, MCS has recruited one MEAL senior officer based at Shashamane to strengthen the DFSA MEAL system. Four data clerks were placed at the four woreda field offices to record all program digital data. MCS is in the process of hiring the following positions: commodity officer, WASH officer, social accountability officer, and commodity accountant. Improved Coordination: MCS has made management adjustments to improve its DFSA’s performance. Both program and finance teams based at Shashamane are directly supported by the management at MCS HQ in Meki to continue the implementation and management of the DFSA. However, the woreda-based field staff in the three woredas (Arsi Negelle, Heben Arsi, and Shalla) of West Arsi Zone are under close support and supervision of Shashamane, whereas Ziway Dugda is now closely supported by MCS HQ in Meki. Context Monitoring The ongoing security issues in Babile continue to plague the DFSA’s implementation, primarily in six problematic kebeles. As a result of this instability and conflict, HCS has made an internal temporary shift of two SILC supervisors. Two SILC supervisors from Babile have been shifted to Dire Dawa and Deder woredas to support similar activities where the targets are higher. The insecurity in Babile has had a spillover effect into neighboring areas including Midega Tola, which has experienced limited access. Key Activities Implemented in Quarter 1 (by Purpose) Purpose 1: GoE and community systems respond to reduce communities' and households' vulnerability to shocks SP 1.1: GoE successfully adopts the systems approach in PSNP IV IO 1.1.1: GoE woreda- and kebele-level institutions have improved coordinated service delivery WFSTF Capacity Building: CCL delivered a five-day Leadership and Communication Essential training to the nine WFSTFs with HCS and MCS benfitting a total of 102 participants, including nine women. It connected participants to familiarize them with CCL’s concepts of effective leadership and communication while also equipping participants with facilitation skills and the confidence to take the learning forward. A core element of the training was designed to help participants understand their own life journey and identify strengths and developmental areas while promoting peer learning. A key action point was that participants were able to identify core leadership challenges within each WFSTF dynamic, assess collaboration obstacles, and work on the improvement of prioritizing tasks. Participants were put through various experiential activities and introduced to models that will serve as tools to enhance the teams' shared visions, clarity on roles, resources, and responsibilities, as well as a sense of ownership in order to reach PSNP goals. The common key leadership challenges mentioned throughout the nine WFSTFs are the lack of PIM awareness, competing and overwhelming commitments, the lack of participatory planning, poor time management, and high turnover of WFSTFs. Kebele/Woredas FSTF-EFY12/FY19 Community- and Woreda-Level PSNP Planning (Work Planning Revision): The PSNP planning process is a multi-level process that combines bottom-up and top-down approaches that produce annual safety net plans at each level. However, due to a new GoE priority and approach towards water harvesting, the draft public work plans were revised in all DFSA woredas of West Arsi except for Ziway Dugd in Arsi. The revised plan for the EFY12 followed the planning steps and procedures set in the PIM and government community-based participatory watershed development (CBPWD) guidelines. Woreda-level public work technical committees (PWTC), WFSTFs, and other stakeholders participated in the revisions. The revised PW plans reflect the needs and priorities of the community. Plans were approved by WFSTFs and were incorporated into woreda development plans in all DFSA woredas. Woreda Food Security Task Force Monthly Meeting: In Q1 FY19, monthly meetings with WFSTFs were held to coordinate services and to discuss synergies with the PSNP IV and the DFSA in the MCS and HCS areas. During this period, two monthly meetings were conducted in Ziway Dugda and Shalla (one in Arsi Negelle and one in Heben Arsi). In HCS area, three monthly meetings were conducted in each woreda. The agendas discussed resource allocations, PIM implementation gaps, and feedback mechanisms/responsible structures

Tourism © Ethiopian www.ethiopia.travel Text: Philip Briggs; Photography: David Kirkland, Aziz Ahmed, Ludwig Siege, Antonio Fiorente Antonio Kirkland, David Siege, Briggs; Photography: Philip Aziz Ludwig Ahmed, Text: The East - Danakil, Harar and Bale Mountains • The scorching Danakil, where salt-bearing camel caravans traipse mirage-like across blinding-white salt-flats, swept by a gale known as the Gara, or Fire Wind. • Volatile Erta Ale, its volcanic caldera cradling a bubbling cauldron of molten black lava and eruptive glowing fountains of red-hot magma. • The labyrinthine alleys of Harar Jugol, an ancient walled citadel with a wealth of Islamic mosques and shrines, bustling markets overhung with aromatic spices and cafes brewing freshly-roasted coffee plucked from the surrounding hills. • The Afro-Alpine moorland of the Sanetti Plateau in Bale Mountains, where handsome red Ethiopian wolves - the world’s most endangered canids - trot jauntily through the pastel-shaded heather. • The cool damp Harenna Forest in Bale Mountains, a vast tract of gnarled tree heathers, towering bamboo clumps and a canopy of evergreen foliage. • A rapier-horned oryx antelope cantering across wide open plains of Awash National Park, a group of colourfully dressed sellers in Dire Dawa open-air market, the immense limestone caverns of Sof Omar. This is Eastern Ethiopia. A land of astonishing geographic extremes, where the austere lavascapes and salt-flats of the northern Rift Valley, which plunges to 116m below sea level in the Danakil, contrast with the misty peaks of the Bale Mountains, which rise over 4,300m a short distance further south.

  • Gone in 6 Minutes: an Ethiopian Airlines Jet's Final Journey 5 April 2019, by David Koenig
    Gone in 6 minutes: an Ethiopian Airlines jet's final journey 5 April 2019, by David Koenig Ethiopian authorities issued a preliminary report Thursday on the March 10 crash that killed 157 people. They found that a malfunctioning sensor sent faulty data to the Boeing 737 Max 8's anti-stall system and triggered a chain of events that ended in a crash so violent it reduced the plane to shards and pieces. The pilots' struggle, and the tragic ending, mirrored an Oct. 29 crash of a Lion Air Max 8 off the coast of Indonesia, which killed 189 people. The anti-stall system, called MCAS, automatically lowers the plane's nose under some circumstances to prevent an aerodynamic stall. Boeing acknowledged that a sensor in the Ethiopian Airlines jet malfunctioned, triggering MCAS when it was not needed. The company repeated that it is In this Monday, March 11, 2019 file photo, rescuers work working on a software upgrade to fix the problem in at the scene of an Ethiopian Airlines flight crash near its best-selling plane.

  • Beef and Feed Value Chain Study in Adama District
    Beef and feed value chain analysis in Adama District, Ethiopia Addisu A.1, Solomon M.1, Getachew L. 2, Solomon A.1, Fantahun D.1, Duncan, A.J.3 and Thorpe, W.3 1 Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research, Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center, Ethiopia 2 ILRI value chain consultant 3 International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia October 2012 ICARDA i Abstract This paper offers insights on the analysis of beef and feed value chains, assesses the determinants of supply, identifies major constraints and opportunities for the beef and feed value chains, tests tools prepared for the analysis of beef value chains and provides feedback for further improvement. This report is an output of a six-month project ‘Fodder and feed in livestock value chains in Ethiopia - trends and prospects ’ commissioned by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research. The project was led by ILRI together with the Ethiopian Institute for Agricultural Research, the Amhara Regional Agricultural Research Institute and the International Center for Research in the Dry Areas. Introduction Background Livestock production is an integral part of Ethiopia’s agricultural sector and plays a vital role in the national economy. At present, livestock contributes about 20% of the GDP, supporting the livelihoods of 70 % of the population and generating about 11% of annual export earnings (SPS- LMM, 2010). As the country has a large livestock population, which ranks first in Africa and tenth in the world, it has much to gain from the growing global markets for livestock products (SPS-LMM, 2010). Feed is a critical constraint to intensification of livestock production in Ethiopia.

This study was carried out to estimate the prev- alence and determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of E. coli O157 isolated from bovine carcasses and cecal contents at one abattoir in Jimma. A total of 300 samples from bovine carcass swabs(n=150) and cecal contents(n=150) were examined to identify E. coli O157 by ISO 17604:2005 method and by using Dry spot E. coli O157 latex test kit. Susceptibility to panels of 9 antimicrobial agents for all 25 E. coli O157 isolates was examined The overall prevalence of E. coli O157 from bovine carcass swabs and cecal contents were 9.3% and 7.3%, respectively. All E. coli O157 isolates were susceptible to chloramphenicol, cef- triaxone, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, tetracycline and 96% of the isolates were susceptible to amoxacillin-clavulanic acid. Twenty-eight, 24% and 20% of the isolates were resistant to amikacin, streptomycin and cephalothin respec- tively.

Over the past 7 years Yegna has built up a vast and loyal fan based In 2014 Yegna was born! The platform consisted of a radio drama, radio talk show and music, and focused on the lives of 5 teenage girls, who formed their friendship through forming a music band. The girls faced challenges which they solved as a team - and produced music that reflected their experiences. The core Yegna audience was girls aged 13-15. However, Yegna gained huge popularity, not only with adolescent girls but with communities more widely. From 2012–2019 Yegna’s branded offering included radio content and music in the Ethiopia’s national working language, Amharic. The radio was broadcast in Addis and Amhara, but the music reached far and wide with the first single winning ‘best single of the year’ in a national award. In 2019 Yegna introduced a gender-mixed cast and developed a new TV drama; “Yegna – the story of all of us”, which is now aired nationally in multiple languages. Yegna drama is the first ever teen drama in Ethiopia that tackles difficult social issues with warmth, humour and music. Summary of Media Access & Background Measurement Thematic Findings Yegna Awareness UNICEF funded Yegna to create a communications initiative focusing on inspiring Ethiopian adolescents to protect their Health and Wellbeing during COVID Times Yegna In My Head Campaign is a series to shine a light on internal Project conflicts young people are facing regarding COVID-19 that are not necessarily discussed openly and to help young people specially to wrestle through these questions and dilemmas.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spiiced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
