  • 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.

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."

  • Sero-Prevalence Status of Foot and Mouth Disease in the North Western Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia
    Ethiopian Veterinary Journal 2016, 20 (2):43-53 Sero-prevalence status of foot and mouth disease in the North Western Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia 1Abbishu Tesfaye 2, Araya Mengistu 3* and Tesfaye Rufael 3 1Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia 2Oromia Livestock and Fishery Resource Development Beraue, Oromia, Ethiopia 3National Animal Health Diagnostic and Investigation Center (NAHDIC), Sebeta Ethiopia *Corresponding Author: National Animal Health Diagnostic and Investigation Center (NAHDIC), P.O. Box 04, Sebeta, Ethiopia, E-mail: [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/evj.v20i2.4 Abstract A cross-sectional survey was conducted on serum samples collected from North and South Gondar zones of North Western Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia to determine the sero-prevalence of foot and mouth diseases in bovine species. The samples were processed with the nonstructural protein (NSP) enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that can able to differentiate foot and mouth disease (FMD) naturally infected vaccinated animals. From the total sera tested, the overall sero-prevalence of foot and mouth disease in cattle at the North and South Gondar zones was 14.9% (86/578). The prevalence rate was high in North Gondar, 17.8% (66/370), as compared to 9.6% (20/208) in South Gondar and the difference was statistically significant (χ² =7.108, p=0.008). Highest sero-prevalence was observed at Metema (62.5%), Quara (46.7%) and Alefa Takusa (34.9%) districts of North Gondar zone, which are bordering with Sudan. The difference among the districts is also statistically significant (χ²=141.115, p=0.0001).

  • Early Warning and Response Bulletin
    Early Warning Bulletin Covers the period August 16-31, 2012 EWRThe 6th round Directorate, of PSNP has been DRMFSS, 88% completed MoA and was dispatched in Somalia www.alone. Thedppc.gov.et 7th round of PSNP has been completed (100%) and was dispatched in Oromia alone. CLIMATE OUTLOOK FOR KIREMT 2012 The seasonal rain is expected to start within the normal onset periods over most parts of the country, although some parts of the northeastern regions will have slightly late onset. Close to normal cessation of Kiremt rain is expected over much of the Kiremt rain benefiting areas, while early withdrawal is anticipated in some places. Near normal rainfall is anticipated over north-eastern Kiremt rain benefiting areas with slightly below normal rainfall expected in some parts of the country. Normal to above normal rainfall is anticipated over western, central and southwestern sectors of the nation. In general, normal Kiremt rainfall is likely to prevail over the major portions of Kiremt rain benefiting areas of the country. Heavy rains are less likely to occur over flood prone areas, where they do occur, it may result in flash floods, particularly along the river banks and low lying areas of the country. WEATHER OUTLOOK: AUGUST 16-31, 2012 Under normal circumstances at this time of the year due to well established weather systems, wide spread rainfall amount and distribution is supposed to cover most parts of Kiremt rain benefiting areas. Therefore, as per NMA weather analysis, weather systems will strengthen for the remainder of the month in most parts of Kiremt rain benefiting areas.
