This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. Abstract Background: In any country use of health services by elderly could vary according to the cultural, social, economic and demographic situation of the person who may need care. In certain contexts, it particularly varies with age and sex of the potential service user. However, studies that document on health service utilization among elderly population are generally scarce in Ethiopia and particularly, in the study area. Objective: This study aimed to assess utilization of health services and associated factors among population of older adults. Methods: A community based cross sectional study carried on 284 elderly populations residing in Bedele Town from February-March 2013 by using a structured questioner interview by four trained high school students through simple random sampling technique in all kebeles of the Town.

  • The Potential for Income Improvement and Biodiversity Conservation Via Specialty Coffee in Ethiopia
    The potential for income improvement and biodiversity conservation via specialty coffee in Ethiopia Pascale Schuit1,*, Justin Moat2, Tadesse Woldemariam Gole3, Zeleke Kebebew Challa4, Jeremy Torz1, Steven Macatonia1, Graciano Cruz5 and Aaron P. Davis6,* 1 Union Hand-Roasted Coffee, London, UK 2 Biodiversity Informatics and Spatial Analysis, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, UK 3 Environment and Coffee Forest Forum (ECFF), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 4 UNOCHA, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 5 HiU Coffee, Panama City, Panama 6 Natural Capital & Plant Health, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, UK * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT The specialty coffee sector represents opportunities for coffee farmers and other actors due to increased value within the supply chain, driven by elevated consumer purchase prices. We investigated these relationships up to the export stage, as well as the potential for specialty coffee to improve stakeholder participation in biodiversity conservation. Household data was collected from a sample of 272 coffee farmers belonging to five primary cooperatives, in the heavily forested area of Yayu, in the Illubabor administrative zone of Oromia regional state in south-western Ethiopia, for the 2017/2018 harvest season. Qualitative and quantitative data, gathered between 2015 and 2019, from focus group discussions, was used to supplement the survey and to explain the empirical findings. We show that the income from coffee (and thus household income) can be increased, in some cases substantially, via participation in the specialty coffee market. The unit price for coffee was much higher than standard market prices and those including certification premiums. Whilst quality is a key Submitted 31 July 2020 factor for specialty coffee, income increases via the specialty market are caveat bound.

Ankober - AwashArba Road II. Mekenajo - DembiDolo Road 111. Welkite - Hosaina Road Public Disclosure Authorized January 27,2009 Addis Ababa Introduction 1. Background: The Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (GOE) is currently implementing its second Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), “the Plan for Accelerated and Sustained Development to End Poverty” (PASDEP - 2005/06 - 2009110 dated September 2006). One of the eight pillars highlighted in PASDEP is to strengthen the infrastructure backbone of the country, aiming at major expansion of the road network. This is intended to facilitate growth, in both the agriculture and industrial sectors, by opening up corridors, port linkages, tourism areas, as well as linking emerging regions better to the rest ofthe country. The Road Sector Development Program (RSDP: 1997-2010) which was initially launched in 1997, identified a number ofkey aspects that are addressed under PASDEP - e.g. developing roads connecting areas of great potential to alleviate poverty; missing road links important to the national economy and regional equity; etc. 2. Proposed roads: The following three federal link road sections - which are the subject of the Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) reports summarized in this document - are selected to be financed by the World Bank under the proposed Ethiopia Road Sector Development Stage IV Project (APL4) in Support of Govt’s RSDP from the above- mentioned aspects to enhance rural development through linking rural areadweredas to truck road network, enabling the rural population benefit from rapidly restoring road network.
