Since then a concerted effort was done to mobilize resources from local, donor and international bank sources. Accordingly, stepped water supply and sanitation activities were carried out in 66 small and 25 medium size towns with the assistance of IDA/DFID. Other achievements include the Water supply and sanitation activities that are being undertaken in: • 15 towns through EU assistance • 6 towns through soft loan • Dozens of towns through water fund and the regions. In addition to the above, the Harari water supply and sanitation project financed by AfDB was completed in 2011 raising the water supply access to 98%. Furthermore expansion and improvement of water supply and sanitation works are being undertaken in Jima, Mekele, Gondar and Addis Ababa. The effort that has continued in addressing more and more towns, is expected to be accelerated and scaled up to enable the nation achieve the universal access plan in urban areas in addition to rural areas. Side by side with the UAP implementation capacity building activities were being undertaken through establishing pool fund, undertaking various trainings, and developing WaSH M&E-MIS. Water quality, environment and self-supply related capacities were also enhanced. Various national documents like the Wash Implementation framework (WIF), updated rural water supply UAP, National hygiene and sanitation strategic action plan are prepared for facilitating accelerated WaSH implementation. Moreover, the national WaSH Inventory which will help in refining baseline data of the sector’s plans was on the verge of completion at the end of 2011. This Urban UAP attempts to align targets and resource requirements with the Growth and Transformation Plan through relevant updated approaches

  • Situational Analysis of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation: the Case of Jimma and Agaro Towns of Oromia Regional State
    European Scientific Journal September 2014 edition vol.10, No.26 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION: THE CASE OF JIMMA AND AGARO TOWNS OF OROMIA REGIONAL STATE Gudina Abashula Nega Jibat Jimma University, College of Social Sciences and Humanities, Department of Sociology and Social Work Abstract This study was conducted to assess people’s awareness, patterns, community responses and factors for child sexual abuse and exploitation in Jimma and Agaro town. Survey, key informant interview and case studies were used to collect the information required for the study. The data collected was analyzed using percentages and case studies under themes developed based on the research objectives. The findings of the study revealed that eighty nine percent of the respondents are aware of the existence of child sexual abuse in their community and more than half of them have identified sexual intercourse with children, child pornography and child genital stimulation as child sexual abuses. Both girls and boys can be exposed to child sexual abuse; however, girls are more vulnerable to child sexual abuses than boys. In terms of their backgrounds, street children, orphans and children of the poor families are mainly vulnerable to child sexual abuse. Children are sexually abused in their home, in the community and in organizations as the findings from the case studies and key informant interviews indicated. Death of parents, family poverty and the subsequent inability to fulfill the necessary basic needs for children; abusers’ perception about sexual affairs with children is safe as they think children are free from HIV/AIDS, lack of appropriate care and follow up for children are the major factors for child sexual abuse.

    Journal of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development Vol. 5(3), pp. 648-655, December, 2019. © www.premierpublishers.org, ISSN: 2167-0477 Research Article Determinants of Loan Repayment Performance of Smallholder Farmers in Horro and Abay Choman woredas of Horoguduru- Wollega Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia *1Amsalu File, 2Oliyad Sori 1Wollega University, The Campus’s Finance Head, P.O. Box 38, Ethiopia 2Wollega University, Department of Agricultural Economics, P.O. Box 38, Ethiopia Credit repayment is one of the dominant importance for viable financial institutions. This study was aimed to identify determinants of loan repayment capacity of smallholder farmers in Horro and Abay-Chomen Woredas. The study used primary data from a sample of formal credit borrower farmers in the two woredas through structured questionnaire. A total of 120 farm households were interviewed during data collection and secondary data were collected from different organizations. The logit model results indicated that a total of fourteen explanatory variables were included in the model of which six variables were found to be significant.; among these variables, family size and expenditure in social ceremonies negatively while, credit experience, livestock, extension contact and income from off-farm activities positively influenced the loan repayment performance of smallholder farmers in the study areas. Based on the result, the study recommended that the lending institution should give attention on loan supervision and management while the borrowers should give attention on generating alternative source of income to pay the loans which is vital as it provides information that would enable to undertake effective measures with the aim of improving loan repayment in the study area.

Banarjee 2 1.Oromia Agricultural research Institute, Bako Agricultural Research center, Bako, Ethiopia 2.Haramaya University, School of Animal and Range Sciences, Haramaya, Ethiopia Abstract The study was conducted in Bako Tibe and Gobu Sayo districts of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia, from October 2014 to January 2015 with the objective to undertake on-farm production system characterization of indigenous cattle breed (Horro) in the study area. Field studies and collection of data were carried out through semi-structured questionnaire, focus group discussions, key informants and secondary data collection from different sources. A total of 120 households (60 from each district) were randomly selected for semi structured questionnaire interview. SAS and SPSS software were used to analyze the data. The study result revealed that overall cattle herd size was 9.67±3.34 heads per household and was not significantly different (p<0.05) between districts. The main purposes of keeping Horro cattle in both locations were draught power, milk production, income, manure and threshing of crop. The age at first service (AFS) of male Horro cattle was 3.47±0.39 years. The age at first mating (AFM) and age at first calving (AFC) of female cattle were 3.73±0.51 and 4.98±0.68 years respectively. The calving interval (CI) of Horro cow was estimated to be 1.88±0.49 years and showed no significant difference between locations.

  • Vulnerability Analysis of Smallholder
    Tessema and Simane Ecological Processes (2019) 8:5 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13717-019-0159-7 RESEARCH Open Access Vulnerability analysis of smallholder farmers to climate variability and change: an agro- ecological system-based approach in the Fincha’a sub-basin of the upper Blue Nile Basin of Ethiopia Israel Tessema1,2* and Belay Simane1 Abstract Background: Ethiopia is frequently cited as a country that is highly vulnerable to climate variability and change. The country’s high vulnerability arises mostly from climate-sensitive agricultural sector that suffers a lot from risks associated with rainfall variability. The vulnerability factors (exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity) of the agricultural livelihoods to climate variability and change differ across agro-ecological systems (AESs). Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze AES-specific vulnerability of smallholder farmers to climate variability and change in the Fincha’a sub-basin. We surveyed 380 respondents from 4 AESs (highland, midland, wetland, and lowland) randomly selected. Furthermore, focus group discussion and key informant interviews were also performed to supplement and substantiate the quantitative data. Livelihood vulnerability index was employed to analyze the levels of smallholders’ agriculture vulnerability to climate variability and change. Data on socioeconomic and biophysical attribute were collected and combined into the indices and vulnerability score was calculated for each agro-ecological system. Results: Considerable variation was observed across the agro-ecological systems in profile, indicator, and the three livelihood vulnerability indices-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change dimensions (exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity) of vulnerability. The lowland AES exhibited higher exposure, low adaptive capacity, and high vulnerability, while the midland AES demonstrated lower exposure, higher adaptive capacity, and lower vulnerability.
