  • Ecological Zones of Ethiopia: a Parametric Approach
    Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1700 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2855 (Online) Vol.5, No.3, 2014 Smallholder Wheat Production Efficiency in Selected Agro- ecological Zones of Ethiopia: A Parametric Approach Tolesa Alemu 1* , Bezabih Emana 2, Jema Haji 1, and Belaineh Legesse 1 1. School of Agricultural Economics & Agribusiness, Haramaya University, Ethiopia 2. General Manager, HEDBED Business & Consultancy PLC, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Wheat productivity is very low in Ethiopia. Improving production efficiency is one of the options for enhancing wheat productivity. To identify the level of production efficiency and sources of inefficiencies, this study was carried out in three major wheat producing agro-ecologies. It used cross-sectional data collected from randomly selected 381 farm households for 2012/13 cropping season. A Cobb-Douglas Production Function and Stochastic Frontier Analysis were employed to achieve the objectives. The study found considerable variation in production efficiency among agro-ecologies and within agro-ecology. The mean technical efficiency estimates for lowland, midland and highland agro-ecologies were 57 percent, 82 percent and 78 percent, respectively. The technical efficiency ranges from 24.4 to 88.6 percents in the lowland, 51.6 to 94.4 percents in the midland, and 34.5 to 94.3 percents in the highland agro-ecologies. There is more capacity to increase wheat yield given the current state of technology and input levels. Wheat output elasticities associated with land, labor, chemical fertilizers and other inputs (seed and pesticides) were positive and significant in the lowland whereas in mid and highland agro- ecologies, output elasticities of land and chemical fertilizers were significant.

  • Access to Justice in the Arsi Zone of the Oromia Regional State in Ethiopia and Its Associated Challenges
    An Open Access Journal from The Law Brigade (Publishing) Group 56 ACCESS TO JUSTICE IN THE ARSI ZONE OF THE OROMIA REGIONAL STATE IN ETHIOPIA AND ITS ASSOCIATED CHALLENGES Written by Samuel Maireg Biresaw Senior Lecturer in Laws, Debre Tabor University Law School, Ethiopia ABSTRACT Different people face different legal problems. The legal needs in a poor rural community will be quite dissimilar to the legal needs of an affluent suburban community in Addis Ababa or Adama. Both sets of needs for a just resolution of the existing conflicts, however, could be equally important and pressing since they both have a deep impact on everyday life. More abstractly, access to justice is defined as a ‘commonly applied process that people address to cope with their legal problems’. A court procedure is an obvious example of access to justice. However, the definition includes both formal and informal procedures. This means that a mediation procedure, or a procedure before an informal Commission or another neutral third party, also qualifies as access to justice. An example of access to justice is a criminal procedure for a victim of a robbery. The beginning of the path may be calling the police and the end of the path may be a court verdict or a dropped case due to insufficient evidence. This research aims to measure the adequacy of the legal system to respond to the needs of individuals, communities, and societies in the Arsi zone of the Oromia region. The path to justice can be measured from the perspective of the user or the service provider.

Received 28 May, 2018; Accepted 3 July, 2018 Despite its vital role in the country’s economic activities, livestock sector was considered as poor investment for development in Ethiopia. But currently, it is being given due attention in government policy planning, especially in the last two growth and transformation plans. Arsi zone is known for its own cattle breed known as “Arsi breed” (one of the six local breeds of the country) and has huge livestock population. However, the production system and constraints have not been studied. Therefore, this research was initiated to characterize the production system and prioritize associated production constraints in Arsi zone. In general, the livestock production constraints were studied to be identified and prioritized in order of their importance in each farming system. Overall constraints were categorized into five clusters as feed related constraints, health related constraints, breed related constraints and financial and human power related constraints. Therefore, to solve these constraints, establishment of feed development research program in nearby center (most likely in Asella Agricultural Engineering Research Center) and strong extension system to promote improved forages, better health care and use of improved breeds are suggested as a solution. Provision of credit system in order to enable farmers use all the services like purchase of initial livestock, concentrates and the like must be given due attention.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spiiced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Assessment Field Trip to Arsi Zone (Oromiya Region)
    United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia (EUE) Assessment field trip to Arsi zone (Oromiya Region) Field Assessment Mission: 7 – 10 April & 15 – 17 April 2003 By Francois Piguet, UN-Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia 1. Introduction and background The mission’s major objectives were to assess the humanitarian situation in Arsi, following three years of rainfall deficit. The assessment focused on general agriculture situation, livestock condition and the main humanitarian concerns, which are stressed mainly due to food insecurity at household level, water shortage, health issues and unexpected migrations of people and livestock. According to the zonal authorities, of 22 woreda in Arsi zone, 19 are affected by the prolonged drought conditions. The most affected woreda are: Dodota Sire and Zway Gugda woreda where it is estimated that last year farmers lost 95 % of their harvest, Merti and Gololcha with 80% failure and Seru 70% failure. Woreda in the lowlands suffered greatest. At the beginning of 2003 Belg rainy season, Arsi zone has experimented rain onset delays and erratic rains, but since mid-April heavy rain occurred allover the zone. Due to a long-term crop production decrease and the failure of Meher 2002 (Piguet, 2002), all affected woredas are facing seed problems. Only some composed seed and uncertified local seed are now available. At this stage, Asala seed enterprise production remains expensive and is mostly offering unsuitable seed for subsistence farmers. Almost no sorghum seed and maize katomani maize are available in Awasa and in Asela, the two main seed multiplication centers in south-east Ethiopia.

  • Livelihood Zones Analysis 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.
