such changes of knowledge of family planning methods, attitudes toward fertility issues, and use of contraceptives, especially longǦacting methods. Method Three round cross sectional community based survey were conducted from 2009 to 2012 with a structured questionnaire. TwoǦstage random sampling was used to select the respondents for the survey. The first round of data collection took place in May 2009, shortly after project activities began, and was conducted as part of project monitoring activities; hence data was collected only at the intervention site of Hetosa. The second and third round of data collection took place at the end of the projectphaseǦout period in December 2011 and in AugustǦSeptember 2012 including both the intervention and comparison sites. Descriptive Statistics and multiple logistic regression were done. Whereas purposive sampling was used for the qualitative part of the study. G lG z G G Z Results The study consisted of quantitative and qualitative data. Of the qualitative part, several FGDs were conducted for not only fertile women aged 15Ǧ49, and also project stakeholder ranged from practice level to policy level. As for the qualitative data, in terms of knowledge change, the proportion of women in Hetosa who had heard of implanon almost doubled from 2009 to 2011 (48.2% and 93.7%, respectively, p=.001) and was nearly universal in 2012 (96.7%). In 2012, almost half fertile women(49%) who did not participated FP had positive attitude towards FP practice within 6 months. Moreover the percentage of those women who were willing to participate longǦterm method gradually increased from 2009(16%) to 2011(24%). Regarding FP practice, the contraceptive method mix in Hetosa changed significantly from 2009 to 2011, and that change was sustained in 2012. Current contraceptive use rose from 38% overall in 2009 to 60% in 2012, and longǦacting methods accounted for nearly all of the increase. Though overall contraceptive use was the same in Hetosa and the comparison sites in 2011, there was a major difference in the method mix. Women in Hetosa were far more likely than other women at the comparison sites to use implanon (26% versus 4%) and far less likely to use injectables (24% versus 37%) or oral pills (1% versus 7%). The same pattern held true in 2012, when the gap in injectable use widened to 25 percentage points. FP practice was significantly associated with FP service channel such as HEW. In 2011, when measuring against the figure in comparison sites(38%), 72% of women in Hetosa preferred much more to see a HEW for family planning service. [GGpGlGyGGm GwGwGGhGSG l Conclusions Since the launch of the CommunityǦbased Family Planning Project, contraceptive prevalence has increased markedly in Hetosa. The use of modern methods rose from 35% in 2009 to 53% of women in 2011; after the end of the project, it continued to rise to 59% in 2012. After the intervention had time to take effect, increased contraceptive use led to a reduction in unwanted pregnancies, which can benefit maternal and child health, and in family size. In Hetosa, the proportion of recent pregnancies that were unwanted fell from 21% in 2011 to 5% in 2012, while the proportion that were wanted at the time rose from 48% to 79%. In contrast, unwanted pregnancies in the comparison areas stood at 42% in 2011 and 24% in 2012. The CommunityǦbased Family Planning Project in Arsi Zone focused specifically on increasing the use of more effective, longǦacting family planning methods, especially implanon.

  • COUNTRY Food Security Update
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update November 2014 Mid-October floods continue to limit access to grazing lands Projected food security outcomes, November to KEY MESSAGES December 2014 In mid-October, unusually late rains caused flooding along the Shebelle River in Somali Region, on the shores of Lake Turkana in South Omo Zone in Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region (SNNPR), and along the Awash River in southern Afar. The floods both destroyed and limited access to grazing areas, which has led to deterioration in livestock body conditions and productivity. This reduced households’ access to food and income. In the lowlands of Borena Zone in southern Oromia, the March to May rains were below average and followed by a warmer than usual June to September dry season. This led to a faster deterioration of pasture and a faster decrease in water availability. These rangeland resources have yet to recover as the October to December Hageya rains have been below Projected food security outcomes, January to March average so far. Unseasonal livestock migration has continued, 2015 and planting has been delayed in agropastoral areas. Poor households are Stressed (IPC Phase 2!) but only with the presence of humanitarian assistance through December by when the remaining rains will likely lead to improved rangeland conditions. CURRENT SITUATION Harvesting and threshing of Meher crops are underway in eastern Amhara, eastern Tigray, and central and eastern Oromia Region. The June to September Kiremt rains extended into mid-October, supporting additional growth of late- planted, short-cycle crops. For example, some pulses and other late planted crops are at the seed-setting or maturity stages.

  • Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group
    DRMTechnical Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group Covering 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2016 Prepared by Clusters and NDRMC Introduction The El Niño global climactic event significantly affected the 2015 meher/summer rains on the heels of failed belg/ spring rains in 2015, driving food insecurity, malnutrition and serious water shortages in many parts of the country. The Government and humanitarian partners issued a joint 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) in December 2015 requesting US$1.4 billion to assist 10.2 million people with food, health and nutrition, water, agriculture, shelter and non-food items, protection and emergency education responses. Following the delay and erratic performance of the belg/spring rains in 2016, a Prioritization Statement was issued in May 2016 with updated humanitarian requirements in nutrition (MAM), agriculture, shelter and non-food items and education.The Mid-Year Review of the HRD identified 9.7 million beneficiaries and updated the funding requirements to $1.2 billion. The 2016 HRD is 69 per cent funded, with contributions of $1.08 billion from international donors and the Government of Ethiopia (including carry-over resources from 2015). Under the leadership of the Government of Ethiopia delivery of life-saving and life- sustaining humanitarian assistance continues across the sectors. However, effective humanitarian response was challenged by shortage of resources, limited logistical capacities and associated delays, and weak real-time information management. This Periodic Monitoring Report (PMR) provides a summary of the cluster financial inputs against outputs and achievements against cluster objectives using secured funding since the launch of the 2016 HRD.

  • Livestock Production System Characterization in Arsi Zone, Ethiopia
    Vol. 9(9), pp. 238-245, September 2018 DOI: 10.5897/IJLP2018.0494 Article Number: 52467D458132 ISSN: 2141-2448 Copyright ©2018 International Journal of Livestock Author(s) retain the copyright of this article http://www.academicjournals.org/IJLP Production Full Length Research Paper Livestock production system characterization in Arsi Zone, Ethiopia Tamrat Gebiso Oromia Agricultural Research Institute, Asella Agricultural Engineering Research Center, Ethiopia. Received 28 May, 2018; Accepted 3 July, 2018 Despite its vital role in the country’s economic activities, livestock sector was considered as poor investment for development in Ethiopia. But currently, it is being given due attention in government policy planning, especially in the last two growth and transformation plans. Arsi zone is known for its own cattle breed known as “Arsi breed” (one of the six local breeds of the country) and has huge livestock population. However, the production system and constraints have not been studied. Therefore, this research was initiated to characterize the production system and prioritize associated production constraints in Arsi zone. In general, the livestock production constraints were studied to be identified and prioritized in order of their importance in each farming system. Overall constraints were categorized into five clusters as feed related constraints, health related constraints, breed related constraints and financial and human power related constraints. Therefore, to solve these constraints, establishment of feed development research program in nearby center (most likely in Asella Agricultural Engineering Research Center) and strong extension system to promote improved forages, better health care and use of improved breeds are suggested as a solution. Provision of credit system in order to enable farmers use all the services like purchase of initial livestock, concentrates and the like must be given due attention.

  • Assessment Field Trip to Arsi Zone (Oromiya Region)
    United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia (EUE) Assessment field trip to Arsi zone (Oromiya Region) Field Assessment Mission: 7 – 10 April & 15 – 17 April 2003 By Francois Piguet, UN-Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia 1. Introduction and background The mission’s major objectives were to assess the humanitarian situation in Arsi, following three years of rainfall deficit. The assessment focused on general agriculture situation, livestock condition and the main humanitarian concerns, which are stressed mainly due to food insecurity at household level, water shortage, health issues and unexpected migrations of people and livestock. According to the zonal authorities, of 22 woreda in Arsi zone, 19 are affected by the prolonged drought conditions. The most affected woreda are: Dodota Sire and Zway Gugda woreda where it is estimated that last year farmers lost 95 % of their harvest, Merti and Gololcha with 80% failure and Seru 70% failure. Woreda in the lowlands suffered greatest. At the beginning of 2003 Belg rainy season, Arsi zone has experimented rain onset delays and erratic rains, but since mid-April heavy rain occurred allover the zone. Due to a long-term crop production decrease and the failure of Meher 2002 (Piguet, 2002), all affected woredas are facing seed problems. Only some composed seed and uncertified local seed are now available. At this stage, Asala seed enterprise production remains expensive and is mostly offering unsuitable seed for subsistence farmers. Almost no sorghum seed and maize katomani maize are available in Awasa and in Asela, the two main seed multiplication centers in south-east Ethiopia.

  • Initial Project Summary Project Location: Iteya, Ethiopia Name Of
    Initial Project Summary Project Location: Iteya, Ethiopia Name of Applicant: Meridiam Infrastructure Africa Fund Name of Project: Tulu Moye Geothermal Project Project Description: The proposed Project involves the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a 150 MW geothermal power plant. The Project will be implemented in two phases with a first phase of 50 MW capacity, followed by 100 MW developed over a period of five years. The proposed DFC-supported Project will cover phase 1 only. The exact locations of wells, additional well pads, pipelines and the power plant will be confirmed in the detailed design phase of the Project, following exploration drilling. In addition to the power plant, the Project will include exploration and production drilling, establishment of well pads, access roads, water supply, quarries and a collection pipeline system. The Project will also require construction of a transmission line to connect the Project with the national grid; the design and route alignment of the transmission line are currently being finalized by Ethiopia Electric Power (EEP). The Project is located approximately 130 km southeast of Addis Ababa in the Tulu Moye, Tero Desta and Anole kebeles of the Hitosa Woreda (district), Arsi zone, Oromia Regional State. Exploration drilling is focused on the Gnaro lava field between Lake Koka (to the north) and Lake Ziway (to the south). The Gnaro lava field is not suitable for cultivation, and there are no settlements in the lava field, which is primarily vegetated with trees and shrubs. The area adjacent to the Gnaro lava field is sparsely populated and primarily used for agriculture and livestock grazing.
