As a result, better rainfall amount and distribution is anticipated over most parts of the southern half of the country. Farmers are advised to exploit the expected good opportunity and continue the ongoing agricultural activities appropriately in the areas where normal to above normal rainfall is expected (SNNPR, western and southern Oromiya). Moreover the expected normal to above normal rainfall over pastoral and agro pastoral areas of the country would favor the availability of pasture and drinking water in these areas. There will be a chance of below normal rainfall over eastern Amhara and Tigray including some areas of Afar. Therefore proper water harvesting techniques should be practiced in order to use the expected limited moisture efficiently. The Food and Non-Alcoholic beverages CPI stabilized between March and April 2013. This is contrary to seasonal expectations as represented by the 5 year average which predict a rising trend over the same period. As has been the case throughout the year, price levels remain elevated when compared to the 5 year average The Cereal and Bread CPI increased moderately between March and April 2013. This is in line with seasonal expectations as represented by the 5 year average, though slightly stronger than predicted (1.8% compared with 1.2%). As has been the case throughout the year, price levels remain elevated when compared to the 5 year average. The Cereal and Bread CPI in majority of regions showed a moderate increase between March and April 2013. Exceptions to this include Benishangul Gumuz -4.6% and Gambella 8.7%. Attention should be given to the increasing price of cereals in Tigray region in light of upward trends over the last few months, high yearly cereal price inflation and poor planting performance in the Southern zone for Belg crops. TFP admissions trend at national level increased slightly by 3 percent in March. The actual increase is confounded by CHD screening conducted in February in Amhara and Oromiya regions. TFP admissions increased by 67 percent in March in SNNPR associated with CHD screening and late TSF response. Hotspot priority one woredas increased by 27 percent from 89 in February to 113 in April. Overall hotspot priority 1 to 3 woredas increased by 4.3 percent from 327 to 341 during the same period. Timely and comprehensive (good coverage) and combination nutrition responses is critical for preventing and avoiding an unusual increase in acute malnutrition in hotspot woredas between April and June.

The Northern half of Gambela, parts of western and northern Oromiya, central and eastern Amhara, parts of eastern Tigray, northern Somali and parts of central and western Afar received falls from 25 - 50mm. Parts of western Oromiya, parts of western Amhara, central Tigray and the northern half of Afar received 5 - 25 mm of rainfall.

  • Ethnobotany, Diverse Food Uses, Claimed Health Benefits And
    Shewayrga and Sopade Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine 2011, 7:19 http://www.ethnobiomed.com/content/7/1/19 JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Ethnobotany, diverse food uses, claimed health benefits and implications on conservation of barley landraces in North Eastern Ethiopia highlands Hailemichael Shewayrga1* and Peter A Sopade2,3 Abstract Background: Barley is the number one food crop in the highland parts of North Eastern Ethiopia produced by subsistence farmers grown as landraces. Information on the ethnobotany, food utilization and maintenance of barley landraces is valuable to design and plan germplasm conservation strategies as well as to improve food utilization of barley. Methods: A study, involving field visits and household interviews, was conducted in three administrative zones. Eleven districts from the three zones, five kebeles in each district and five households from each kebele were visited to gather information on the ethnobotany, the utilization of barley and how barley end-uses influence the maintenance of landrace diversity. Results: According to farmers, barley is the “king of crops” and it is put for diverse uses with more than 20 types of barley dishes and beverages reportedly prepared in the study area. The products are prepared from either boiled/roasted whole grain, raw- and roasted-milled grain, or cracked grain as main, side, ceremonial, and recuperating dishes. The various barley traditional foods have perceived qualities and health benefits by the farmers. Fifteen diverse barley landraces were reported by farmers, and the ethnobotany of the landraces reflects key quantitative and qualitative traits. Some landraces that are preferred for their culinary qualities are being marginalized due to moisture shortage and soil degradation.

  • Heading with Word in Woodblock
    Amhara Region, Area brief Regional Overview The Amhara Region is located in the northwestern part of Ethiopia; its land area is estimated at about 170,000 square kilometers. Amhara borders Tigray Region in the North, Afar in the East, Oromiya in the South, Benishangul-Gumuz in the Southwest and the country of Sudan in the west. Based on the 2007 figures from the Central Statistical Agency (CSA) of Ethiopia, Amhara has an estimated total population of 20,136,000. 88% of the population is estimated to be rural inhabitants, while 12% are urban dwellers. Bahir-Dar is the capital city of the Amhara Regional State. Amhara is divided into 11 zones, and 167 woredas (districts). There are about 3,429 kebeles (the smallest administrative units). Decision-making power has been decentralized to woredas and thus the woredas are responsible for all development activities in their areas. The historic Amhara region contains much of the highland plateaus above 1,500 meters with rugged formations, gorges and valleys, as well as millions of settlements for Amhara villages surrounded by subsistence farms and grazing fields. Located in this region are the world-renowned Blue Nile River and its source, Lake Tana, as well as historic sites including Gonder palace, and the Lalibela rock-hewn churches. The land in Amhara has been cultivated for millennia with no variations or improvement in the farming techniques. The resulting environmental damage has contributed to the trend of deteriorating climate with frequent droughts, loss of crops and the resulting food shortage. Of the 167 woredas in the region, fifty-eight (35%) are drought-prone and chronically food- insecure.

  • FEWS NET/WFP Joint Trip Report
    FEWS NET/WFP Joint Trip Report Activity Name: WFP- FEWS NET Joint mid-Belg season assessment Reported by: Zerihun Mekuria (FEWS NET) and Alemu Berhe (WFP) Dates of travel: 22 to 30 April, 2015 Area Visited: North Wollo, South Wollo and North Shewa zones of Amhara Region Reporting date: 02 May, 2015 Highlights of the findings: The onset of the February to May Belg 2015 has been delayed by more than six weeks in North and South Wollo zones and the rain started towards the end of March (20 – 25 March) except for the North Shewa zone where the current Belg started around mid-January and resumed in mid-March for about three to four days. The amount of the rainfall is ranges from low to heavy but distribution is uneven. In all Belg benefiting areas of northeastern Amhara, it has been unusually warmer and drier since mid-March. Except for the timely planting in mid-January in some areas in North Shewa zone, Belg planting as well delayed by about six to eight weeks in most highlands of northeastern Amhara. Delay on the onset of Belg rains and prolonged drier periods in the season has resulted in a much below average planting coverage where the current planting is about 42%, 51% and 26% of the normal area is planted in North Wollo, South Wollo and North Shewa zones respectively. Except for few crops planted in January in North Shewa zone which are currently at fruit setting stage, most of the crops planted are at early vegetative stage and some seeds remained aborted.
