2278-6236 Access to Credit and Its Determinants in Gubalafto District International Journal of Advanced Research in ISSN: 2278-6236 Management and Social Sciences Impact Factor: 7.065 ACCESS TO CREDIT AND ITS DETERMINANTS IN GUBALAFTO DISTRICT MR. SISAY GENANU-Department of Economics Woldia University, Woldia Ethiopia ABSTRACT Access to credit is an indispensable prerequisite for agricultural development where agriculture is found with a shortage of agricultural technologies and recurrent drought. This paper examines access to credit and its determinants in Gubalafto district. Primary data from 250 households were collected. To select a sample household, a multistage sampling technique was exercised. Questionnaire and interview were utilized to collect primary data. Both descriptive and econometric methods of analysis were employed. For econometric analysis with necessary statistical diagnosis tests, a logistic regression procedure was developed on farmers’ socio-economic cross-sectional data collected in 2018. The descriptive statistics revealed that the amount of credit is very low and the interest rate is high. The Econometrics model showed that sex, education level, family size, land size of the household, access to extension service and annual earned income were found to be significant in determining access to credit. These results have important policy implications to reduce interest rates and increase loan size and minimizing the distance between credit institutions and farm households. KEYWORDS: 1.ACSI, 2.Agriculture, 3.Households, 4.Logistic Regression, 5.ROC Curve. DATABASE AND METHODOLOGY This study employed both primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected through administering a structured questionnaire and interview to rural households in Gubalafto District. The questionnaire was designed to gather qualitative and quantitative data. In addition, secondary sources were used to substantiate the analysis and get support for primary data. Three stage sampling was used to acquire the required primary data. Firstly, Gubalafto district was selected purposely. Gubalafto district consists of thirty one sub-districts. Secondly, among Gubalafto’s sub-districts, seven sub-districts were selected purposively. In Vol. 9 | No. 12 | December 2020 www.garph.co.uk IJARMSS | 1 International Journal of Advanced Research in ISSN: 2278-6236 Management and Social Sciences Impact Factor: 7.065 the third-stage simple random sampling was employed. Finally, a probability proportional to sample size sampling procedure was employed to select 250 sample households. Two hundred fifty sample households were taken based on (Glenn, 1992) sampling method. According to him, for the population greater than 100,000 (139,825 = total population of Gubalafto District), it is possible to take 250 samples at 95% confidence level, degree of variability = 0.07 and level of precision=7%. In addition, according to 2007 census the number of households in Gubalafto District is 40569. It is once more possible to use 250 samples because the maximum sample size is 204, but 250 is greater than 204. This would help us to increase the precision of the result; in statistics to the degree that there is more sample size precision of the result would increase. The study employed the logit model in line with (Copas, 1998). 1 PFZii( ) ....................(1) 1 e( |X |) Where Pi = the probability that an individual is being food secure given Xi Xi= a vector of explanatory variables And β = regression parameters to be estimated. e= the base of the natural logarithm For ease of interpretation of the coefficients, a logistic model could be written in terms of the odds and log of odd. The odds ratio is the ratios of the probability that a household would be food secure (Pi) to the probability of a household not being food secure (1- Pi).

It is dichotomous taking: 1 when having access to credit and 0 when a farmer is having no access to credit. The independent variables contain both dichotomous and continuous variables. Access to credit was estimated using computer software STATA 14 program for descriptive and econometric analysis.

Gubalafto district is one of eleven districts in North Wollo of Amhara Regional State. The district is located between 39012‘9’ and 39045‘58”East and 11034‘54‘‘and 11058‘59” North. It is bounded on the North by Gidan; to the North West by Meket; to the northeast by Kobo; to the east Afar regional state; to the south North Wollo zone; to the south east by Habru district and to the west Dawunt and Delanta. The district has 31 rural sub-districts. Gubalafto district has a total population of 139,825 according to 2007 census. Of which, 50.6% are men and 49.4% women; and only 3.49% are urban inhabitants. With an area of 900.49 square kilometers, Gubalafto has a population density of 155.28 which is greater than the zone average of 123.25 persons per square kilometer. About 32,824 housing units and 33,676 households were counted in this Woreda. The average persons to a household were 4.15. Gubalafto district have been grouped amongst the 48 districts identified as the most drought prone and food insecure districts in the Amhara Region State (Belay and Eyasu, 2019). INTRODUCTION In Ethiopia, different economic policies have been applied to improve the living standards of the people, to achieve economic growth and to renovate agriculture by industrial economy. Back to fifteen years, even if there was economic growth, Ethiopia remains one of the poorest countries in the world, ranking 169th out of 177 countries on the Human Development Index and 105th out of 108 countries on the Human Poverty Index (IFAD, 2011). According to Mulat et al., (2004) the Ethiopian economy is among the most vulnerable economies in Africa and its performance has been less than satisfactory. The economy is also characterized by the persistence of low technology, intensive less productivity agriculture dominated by smallholder farm households (Tilahun, 2015). The country still depends highly on agriculture. The sector is dominated by over 15 million smallholders producing about 95 percent of the national agricultural production. This shows that the overall economy of the country and the food security of the majority of the population depend on small holder agriculture. The Vol. 9 | No. 12 | December 2020 www.garph.co.uk IJARMSS | 4 International Journal of Advanced Research in ISSN: 2278-6236 Management and Social Sciences Impact Factor: 7.065 growth of agricultural sector is taken as an engine and the last resort to take-off the national economy (CSA, 2017/18). Although we deemed the task of agriculture as described above, the dominance of agriculture has not changed over time mainly because of its poor performance in terms of generating surplus that could be invested in other sectors of the economy (Mulat et al., 2004). At this time, farmers face credit constraints in financing, and modern agricultural inputs are the most important barriers for the development of small holder agriculture (Komicha, 2007). Credit is a crucial instrument for rural development (Komicha, 2007: Kumar, 2020).This credit has countless advantages for rural households. According to Abi (2003) access to credit pledges the availability of financial resources which can be used to buy inputs, finance business start ups and hence reduce poverty. In addition, better access to credit is able to open up new economic activities and significantly improve

Rock caves were found to be “impregnable form of shelter,” symbol of property ownership and home of architectural creativities of ancient humans (Bent 1896, p. 147; Rewerski 1995, p. 12).With a special character, these places continued to be used in the Christian era as main centres of dwelling and spiritual devotion that was developed with a wilderness-based solitary life or monasticism that was practiced either individual- ly in a form of extreme eremitic life (hermitage) or in group form as a coenobitic life; entailing strong self denial (Goswami 2005–2006, pp. 1329-1330; Finneran 2012, p. 247).

  • 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.

More than 10.2 million people required relief food assistance at the peak of the drought in April. To meet people’s needs, the Government of Ethiopia and humanitar- ian partners issued an initial appeal for 2016 of US$1.4 billion, which increased to $1.6 billion in August.

  • 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.
