[20] "In southern Wello, there are still a few areas where indigenous trees survive in pockets of remaining forests. -- A highlight of our trip was a visit to Anabe, one of the few forests of Podocarpus, locally known as Zegba, remaining in southern Wello. -- Professor Bahru notes that Anabe was 'discovered' relatively recently, in 1978, when a forester was looking for a nursery site. In imperial days the area fell under the category of balabbat land before it was converted into a madbet of the Crown Prince. After its 'discovery' it was declared a protected forest. Anabe is some 30 kms to the west of the town of Gerba, which is on the Kombolcha-Bati road. Until recently the rough road from Gerba was completed only up to the market town of Adame, from which it took three hours' walk to the forest. A road built by local people -- with European Union funding now makes the forest accessible in a four-wheel drive vehicle. -

Journal of Critical Reviews ISSN- 2394-5125 Vol 7, Issue 9, 2020 SOCIAL CONDITIONS OF SHINASHA TRIALS IN NORTHWESTERN ETHIOPIA 1Abebe Ano Alula, 2Arjun Rao Kuthadi (Ph.D.) 1Ph.D. candidate in Department of History, College of Social Sciences and Art Osmania University, Hyderabad, India 2Professor of History ,Supervisor, Department of History, College of Social Sciences and Art Osmania University, Hyderabad, India Received: 24.03.2020 Revised: 14.04.2020 Accepted: 22.05.2020 Abstract This article is primarily concerned to explore the social conditions of the Shinasha community in northwestern Ethiopia. Shinasha is some of the Indigenous groups with Ca. 60,587 population in Ethiopia, Africa continent, who are living Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State, near the Sudanese borderland. They have different social practices that distinguish them from others. They were part of the historical Gonga people who once lived on edges of the River Abay. Where were the early places of settlement of the Shinasha? What were the Social conditions, social changes and continuity in the Shinasha community? I address these questions by historically juxtaposing with social conditions and its dynamics with my interviews with the key informants and observations of changes in conditions of the Shinasha. This study highlights the geographic and background of the study area. The study tries to focus on the early settlement of the Shinasha and their conquest under imperial rule. It attempted to analyze the social organization of the Shinasha society. The significance of the paper is contributed to the understanding of the Social conditions and social changes and continuity of the Shinasha community in the historical outline. -
Coffee Production and Marketing in Ethiopia
European Journal of Business and Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1905 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2839 (Online) Vol.6, No.37, 2014 Coffee Production and Marketing in Ethiopia Alemayehu Asfaw Amamo Jimma University College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine Abstract The general motive to write this current topic paper on Coffee production and marketing in Ethiopia is that Ethiopia is the birth place of coffee and it discovered earlier in the world. More than 1,000 years ago, coffee was a goatherd in Ethiopia southwestern highlands, David Beatty discovered the Ethiopian province where they first blossom Kaffa gave its name to coffee. Nobody is sure, exactly how coffee originally discovered as a beverage plant; it believed that its cultivation and use began as early as the 9th century in Ethiopia. It cultivated Yemen earlier, around AD 575. While, it originated in Ethiopia, from where it traveled to the Yemen about 600 years ago, and from Arabia began its journey around the world. Among the many legends, Kaldi, an Abyssinian goatherd, who lived around AD 850 found the origin of coffee. It is vital to the cultural and socio-economic life of Ethiopians and contributes 25%-30% of the country's foreign exchange, half of GDP, 90% of exports, 85% of total employments in the country and part of the culture; about 50 % of the produced coffee is consumed domestically. The general objective of the review is to understand coffee production and marketing value chain system in Ethiopia and specific objective is to revise coffee production and marketing value chain, volume of production, domestic and international marketing and consumption level. -

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.
