The editors Brook Lemma and Abebe Getahun ~ vi ~ P a g e | 1 Welcoming and introductory speech by Dr. Seyoum Mengistu Vice President of EFASA I ask all of you to stand up for a minutes of silence in remembrance of our colleague and dedicated EFASA member, Ato Abera Degabussa, who passes away after a short illness on 22 Miazia 2001 E.C. Abera received his BSc from Ambo College and his MSc from, the former Soviet Union and was an ardent and dedicated researcher, with tangible contribution to the development of the Lake Langano and east Showa fisheries. The Zwai Fish Resource Research Center, of which he was a member, and EFASA miss him a lot and we extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends. A minute of silence Good morning everyone and welcome to the THIRD EFASSA annual conference which is being held in Haromaya University and in place which I also happen to know and cherish in childhood. I am extremely elated and sentimental about this occasion – coming home to roost after nearly half a century of absence, like the proverbial lost son. I started school in Harar Bethlehem School, not more than 20 kms from here, and I remember that we used to visit this university once in while back then. As a child I used to be fascinated by college education and the fantastic facilities that students used to enjoy then, Alemaya University was then funded by Oklahoma State University (USA). They use to dispense hot milk from taps, and although this is not possible now, I am still impressed by the visible strides that Haromaya University has achieved through improved campus infrastructure and the education environment. First and foremost, I would like to thank on behalf EFASA, the University for hosting us, and in particular, the President, Prof. Belay Kassa for his generous and gracious patronage and facilitating the realization of this conference here at HU. Dr. Brook Lemma, through his long association with HU (Being the acting executive at some time) also deserves special mention for making our conference here a resounding reality, at such short notice after EFASA decided to change its annual venue to Haromaya instead of Ambo University. We all realize how difficult it is to coordinate national meetings, and the close camaraderie between Dr. Brook and HU officials has been an uncommon blessing and a rare opportunity. Let me also take this opportunity to thank other HU officials who were crucial to make our venue here a reality, including, the 4 vice presidents (Dr. Tena Alamerew, Academic Vice President, Dr. Belayneh Legesse, Vice President for Business and Administration, and Dr. Kebede Wolde EFASA: Impacts of climate change and population on tropical aquatic resources (2011) P a g e | 2 Tsadik, the Vice President for Development and Community Engagement and Dr. Negussie Dechasa, Vice President for Research). The local organizing committee at HU chaired by Ato Mengistu Woldehanna, Ato Shimellis and Ato Abiy deserve our special thanks for organizing everything so smoothly and efficiently in such a short time. It makes me feel that the efficiency I used to see at HU half a century ago is still here (even if the Americans I alluded to earlier had long left). HU is truly emerging as one of the most efficient and steadfast universities in our country, added to its status as one of the oldest college institutions also. Let me briefly say a few thing about EFASA even though most of us know these issues quite well. Like any society/association, EFASA was borne out of the initiative of a few vanguard members about 4 years ago in2007, to be exact 12 founding members who were mainly professional in the Limnology, Fisheries Biology and Aquatic Ecology disciplines. In the past three yeas EFASA has managed to conduct one launching workshop and two national conferences at Zwai and Bahir Dar. It also goes to the credit of EFASA that it was able to host the Pan-African Fish and Fisheries (PAFA) Conference at the ECA Conference Hall. This is one of the prominent professional associations on African fishes and fisheries that holds its conference once in five years. EFASA had the pleasure of hosting international scientists numbering over 250

A final payment from ECHO remains pending but is expected shortly, and this will cover the small deficit currently reflected in the attached final financial report. Operational Developments: Ethiopia lies in the African Meningitis Belt which extends from the Red Sea in the east to the Atlantic ocean in the west. It has suffered major epidemics of meningococcal meningitis, a bacteria disease of the central nervous system, in 1981 when there were 50,000 cases and nearly a thousand deaths and in 1989 when there 46,000 cases and 1,700 deaths. Between June and August in 2000, there was an outbreak in Addis Ababa with over 850 cases and 33 deaths. Major epidemics usually occur every 8 to 12 years. This epidemic started in October 2000 in Quarit Woreda in West Gojam in Amhara Region and over a period of several months spread throughout the country. It reached its peak in week 22 of the epidemic (5-11 March 2001) when 724 cases were reported although a decrease in the number of cases week on week was reversed in week 29 (23-29 April 2001) when a lower peak was reached.

    Enhancing the Role of Forestry in Building Climate Resilient Green Economy in Ethiopia Strategy for scaling up effective forest management practices in Amhara National Regional State with particular emphasis on smallholder plantations Wubalem Tadesse Alemu Gezahegne Teshome Tesema Bitew Shibabaw Berihun Tefera Habtemariam Kassa Center for International Forestry Research Ethiopia Office Addis Ababa October 2015 Copyright © Center for International Forestry Research, 2015 Cover photo by authors FOREWORD This regional strategy document for scaling up effective forest management practices in Amhara National Regional State, with particular emphasis on smallholder plantations, was produced as one of the outputs of a project entitled “Enhancing the Role of Forestry in Ethiopia’s Climate Resilient Green Economy”, and implemented between September 2013 and August 2015. CIFOR and our ministry actively collaborated in the planning and implementation of the project, which involved over 25 senior experts drawn from Federal ministries, regional bureaus, Federal and regional research institutes, and from Wondo Genet College of Forestry and Natural Resources and other universities. The senior experts were organised into five teams, which set out to identify effective forest management practices, and enabling conditions for scaling them up, with the aim of significantly enhancing the role of forests in building a climate resilient green economy in Ethiopia. The five forest management practices studied were: the establishment and management of area exclosures; the management of plantation forests; Participatory Forest Management (PFM); agroforestry (AF); and the management of dry forests and woodlands. Each team focused on only one of the five forest management practices, and concentrated its study in one regional state.

The region borders Tigray in the North, Afar in the East, Oromiya in the South, Benishangul-Gumiz in the Southwest and the country of Sudan to the west [1]. Amhara is divided into 11 zones, and 140 Weredas (see map at the bottom of this page). There are about 3429 kebeles (the smallest administrative units) [1]. "Decision-making power has recently been decentralized to Weredas and thus the Weredas are responsible for all development activities in their areas." The 11 administrative zones are: North Gonder, South Gonder, West Gojjam, East Gojjam, Awie, Wag Hemra, North Wollo, South Wollo, Oromia, North Shewa and Bahir Dar City special zone. [1] The historic Amhara Region contains much of the highland plateaus above 1500 meters with rugged formations, gorges and valleys, and millions of settlements for Amhara villages surrounded by subsistence farms and grazing fields. In this Region are located, the world- renowned Nile River and its source, Lake Tana, as well as historic sites including Gonder, and Lalibela. "Interspersed on the landscape are higher mountain ranges and cratered cones, the highest of which, at 4,620 meters, is Ras Dashen Terara northeast of Gonder.

  • 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.

  • Ethiopia Common Bean
    Ethiopia Common bean Kidane Tumsa, Robin Buruchara and Steve Beebe Introduction Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are increasingly becoming an important crop in Ethiopia. The crop largely contributes to the national economy (commodity and employment) and is a source of food and cash income to the resource-poor farmers. Of 1,357,523 ha (11.8% of crop land) covered by pulse crops in Ethiopia in 2010/11, 237,366 ha (2.01%) were covered by common bean and 340,279 tons of production was obtained (Source: CSA 2011). The country stands seventh in area and sixth in production among the 29 countries that produce common bean in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). During 2003 to 2010, the area under beans increased by 34.3%, from 181,600 ha in 2003 to 244,012 ha in 2010, while production increased threefold, from 117,750 tons in 2003 to 362,890 tons in 2010 (Fig. 1) and the average yield more than doubled, from 0.615 t ha-1 to 1.487 t ha-1. By 2012, bean area expanded to about 350,000 ha. Ethiopia is the largest exporter of common bean in Africa, earning about US$ 66 million in 2010 compared to US$ 17 million in 2006. The export quantity rose to about 77,000 tons in 2010 compared to 49,000 tons in 2006. Since 2005, the quantity of formal bean export (particularly white-seeded bean) has increased from 62,000 tons to 75,000 tons (Fig. 2). 400,000 – – 300,000 Production (tons) Area (ha) 362,890 244,012 – 250,000 300,000 – 181,600 – 200,000 183,800 200,000 – – 150,000 172,150 119,900 – 100,000 Area (ha) Production (tons) 100,000 – 98,670 111,750 – 50,000 – 0 0 – – – – – – 2002/3 2003/4 2004/5 2009/10 Figure 1.

  • LIVELIHOOD ZONES ANALYSIS a Tool for Planning Agricultural Water Management Investments Ethiopia
    Improved livelihoods for smallholder farmers LIVELIHOOD ZONES ANALYSIS A tool for planning agricultural water management investments Ethiopia Prepared by Dr. Girma Medhin in consultation with FAO, 2011 About this report The AgWater Solutions Project aimed at designing agricultural water management (AWM) strategies for smallholder farmers in sub Saharan Africa and in India. The project was managed by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and operated jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI) and International Development Enterprise (IDE). It was implemented in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia and in the States of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal in India. Several studies have highlighted the potential of AWM for poverty alleviation. In practice, however, adoption rates of AWM solutions remain low, and where adoption has taken place locally, programmes aimed at disseminating these solutions often remain a challenge. The overall goal of the project was to stimulate and support successful pro-poor, gender-equitable AWM investments, policies and implementation strategies through concrete, evidence-based knowledge and decision-making tools. The project has examined AWM interventions at the farm, community, watershed, and national levels. It has analyzed opportunities and constraints of a number of small-scale AWM interventions in several pilot research sites across the different project countries, and assessed their potential in different agro-climatic, socio-economic and political contexts. This report was prepared as part of the efforts to assess the potential for AWM solutions at national level. The livelihood zones analysis divides the country in a series of areas where rural people share relatively homogeneous living conditions on the basis of a combination of biophysical and socio-economic determinants.
