Ethiopia East and West Wellega, Benishangul-Gumuz Access Snapshot DRAFT As of 15 May 2019 Ethiopia East and West Wellega, Benishangul-Gumuz Access Snapshot DRAFT As of 15 May 2019 The operating environment in West Wellega (Oromia region)Wolaita is Wendo Chuko Bursa highly volatile due to active clashes between the Ethiopian SherkoleSIDAMA Daye Defense Forces (EDF) and Unidentified Armed Groups (UAGs) Kurmuk Kebado that continue to create time-bound restrictions to aid operations.

  • Interagency Rapid Protection Assessment - Bahir Dar, Amhara Region
    Interagency Rapid Protection Assessment - Bahir Dar, Amhara Region 18-19 December 2018 MISSION OBJECTIVE / PURPOSE: In mid-December 2018, the Protection Cluster was informed of the arrival of approximately 1,200 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Kamashi zone in Benishangul-Gumuz region to Bahir Dar in Amhara region. Amhara regional DRM confirmed the numbers and added that an upwards of 200 IDPs continue to arrive Bahir Dar on a daily basis. The IDPs are of Amharic ethnicity, whom have reported instances of GBV and human rights violations, suffered in Kamashi and en route to Bahir Dar. The Protection Cluster conducted an interagency Rapid Protection Assessment between the 18th – 19th December, to better understand the protection needs of the new arrivals to Bahir Dar, as well as the conditions in Kamashi zone. As humanitarian access to Kamashi zone is restricted, the total number of IDPs and conditions in Kamashi, remains largely unknown by the humanitarian community. The aim of a Rapid Protection Assessment is to assist the Protection Cluster and protection agencies to collect relevant information to identify key protection concerns and information gaps according to an agreed common methodology, which included: key informant interviews, focus group discussions and observations.

  • Implications of Land Deals to Livelihood Security and Natural Resource Management in Benshanguel Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia by Maru Shete
    Implications of land deals to livelihood security and natural resource management in Benshanguel Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia by Maru Shete Paper presented at the International Conference on Global Land Grabbing 6-8 April 2011 Organised by the Land Deals Politics Initiative (LDPI) in collaboration with the Journal of Peasant Studies and hosted by the Future Agricultures Consortium at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex Implications of land deals to livelihood security and natural resource management in Benshanguel Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia 1 (Draft not for citation) Maru Shete Future Agricultures Consortium Research Fellow, P.O.Box 50321, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Email: [email protected] Abstract The Federal Government of Ethiopia (FGE) is leasing out large tracts of arable lands both to domestic and foreign investors in different parts of the country where land is relatively abundant. While the FGE justifies that it is part of the country’s strategy to achieve food security objective, critics have been forwarded from different directions. This research aims at studying the implications of land deals to livelihood security and natural resource management in Benshanguel Gumuz Regional State. Exploratory study was done and data were collected through interviewing 150 farm households in two districts of the region. Key informants interview and focus group discussions were also held to generate required data. Primary data were complemented with secondary data sources. Preliminary findings suggest that there is weak linkage, monitoring and support of investment activities from federal, regional and district levels, weak capacity of domestic investors, accelerated degradation of forest resources, and threatened livelihood security of community members.

UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research, Trace element lab, Salt Lake, Kolkata 700 098, India Abstract: Using Energy Dispersive X-ray Florescence (EDXRF) Elemental analysis, Coffee cherry of Arabica subspecies produced in crop years of 2015/2016 in nine different parts of coffee growing Area in Ethiopa were analyzed and has been found four major elements P, K, Ca, S and eight minor elements Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Sr, Rb, Br from Twenty coffee Arabica subspecies. The Samples were washed; dried; Grinding with mortar and finally pelletized. EDXRF analysis were carried the energies of the X-rays emitted by the sample are measured using a Si- semiconductor detector and are processed by a pulse height analyzer. Computer analysis of this data yields an energy spectrum which defines the elemental composition of the sample. The system detection calibration and accuracy check was performed through different countries reported values and analysis of NIST certified reference materials SRM 1515 (Apple leaves). Most of coffee beans sample were found to be a good agreements towards NIST standards and different countries reported values. Meanwhile discussed the elemental concentration and their biological effects on human physiology. Keywords: Coffee Cherry,IJSER Subspecies coffee, Elemental Concentration and EDXRF 1.
