Albrecht Bemmann Prof. Dr. Holm Uibrig Dissertation an der Fakultät Forst-, Geo- und Hydrowissenschaften der Technischen Universität Dresden Institut für Internationale Forst- und Holzwirtschaft Technische Universität Dresden Tharandt, Februar 2004 Gedruckt mit Unterstützung des Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienstes 1. Auflage 2004 Alle Rechte vorbehalten Druck: ISBN 3-9805344-9-9 DEDICATION To my family and to the farm households of Ethiopia, for whom fulfilling the very basic life necessities remains always an unexplored challenge, I dedicate this work as an expression of my deepest respect and love. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest respect and humble gratitude to the Almighty God for granting me his sustained loving care, invigorating sprits, strength, patience, and hope during the course of this long and testing work. The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has kindly approved the budget required to cover this study for which I am humbly most indebted. The initiation and undertaking of the entire study would not have been possible without the support of Prof. Uibrig. His untiring guidance, constructive comments, and supervision were indispensable inputs to the completion of this work. I highly appreciate the professional support and supervision of Prof. von der Weth, who provided persistent guidance and constructive criticisms. His co-workers Mrs. Weisshahn and Vogelgesang provided very useful inputs. I owe special thanks to Dr. Deegen for his constructive suggestions on the draft version of this thesis. All support that I received from the staff of various sections of the Dresden University of Technology is sincerely acknowledged. The professional, social, and friendly motivations I received from Prof. Pretzsch, Dr. Pohris, M. Sc. course coordinators (1999-2004), and fellow students of the institute were most rewarding to which I humbly owe heart-felt thanks. I extend sincere gratitude to Dr. Ackermann and Mrs. Bedru, Benti, and Dietrich for their input in this work. From the Ethiopian side, Dr. Demel has kindly provided research facilities during the fieldwork in Ethiopia. The administrative unit of Wondo Genet College of Forestry allowed the use of research facilities during the fieldwork. W/t Selamawit has helped in typing the Amharic version of the questionnaires, to which I am obliged to pay deep appreciation. The support of various administrative offices of the: GZBA, EEDBA, DBF, DBE, and DAC was indispensable for the successful execution of the fieldwork. Special thanks with gratitude go to Mrs. Ahmedin, Berhanu, Gebre Senbet, Getu, and Mesfin. I wish also to thank the staff of various national, international, and NGO libraries that I visited to consult numerous documented sources. The Development Agents of the 10 survey Peasant Associations were very friendly and open in providing the requested information, guiding through the villages, and administering survey questionnaires. My intuition fails me if I overlook the hospitality and sincerity of the survey households in honestly sharing all their deepest feelings. I owe distinguished appreciation to all farm households that have willingly and humbly spared their scarce time and energy to share their farm forestry experiences and general livelihood strategies. The unique love and concern my parents, brothers, and sisters have granted me during the course of this work and their endurance of long separation are unparalleled. I sincerely and respectfully thank my mother and father for giving me the chance of education and bringing me up to this level by sacrificing not their luxury needs but their basic daily needs. I wish to thank my wife, Bereket for standing on my side to encourage and support me throughout the trying moments of this work. Kidus, my son has boldly resisted the temptations of enjoying my regular presence and care throughout this work. Last but not least, I thank all my relatives and friends in Ethiopia and elsewhere who made the completion of this work possible in various ways. I owe special appreciation to my uncle Mr. Guta and his family for all the persistent care and concern accorded to the success of this work. All individuals whose mental expertise and/or physical deeds were involved in bringing this work to its final stage are dully acknowledged. Dresden, February 2004. Achalu D.

  • Army Worm Infestation in SNNP and Oromia Regions As of 24 May
    Army worm infestation in SNNP and Oromia Regions As of 24 May, some 8,368 hectares of belg cropland was reportedly destroyed by army worms in Wolayita zone of SNNPR - an area that suffered from late onset of the 2013 belg rains and subsequent heavy rains that damaged belg crops. The damage caused by the army worms will further reduce the expected harvest this season. Similar incidents were also reported from Boricha, Bona Zuria, Dara, Dale, Hawassa Zuria and Loko Abaya woredas of Sidama zone; Loma and Mareka woredas of Dawro zone (SNNPR), as well as from drought prone areas of East and West Hararge zones of Oromia Region; and quickly spreading to neighbouring areas. In Boricha woreda, for example, more than 655 hectares of belg cropland was destroyed in the course of one week, this is indicative of the speed that damage is being caused. Immediate distribution of spraying containers and chemicals to the farmers is required to prevent further loss of belg crops. For more information, contact: [email protected] Health Update The number of meningitis cases has gradually declined since the outbreak was declared in January. To date, 1,371 cases were reported from 24 woredas in five zones of SNNP and Oromia Regions. The Government, with support from health partners, is conducting a reactive vaccination in the affected areas, with 1, 678,220 people vaccinated so far. Next week, the number of people vaccinated during the Addis Ababa City Administration meningitis vaccination campaign, conducted from 20 to 26 May, will be released. Meanwhile, the number of kebeles reporting cases of Yellow Fever in South Ari, Benatsemay and Selmago woredas of South Omo zone, SNNPR, increased.

  • Social and Environmental Risk Factors for Trachoma: a Mixed Methods Approach in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia
    Social and Environmental Risk Factors for Trachoma: A Mixed Methods Approach in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia by Candace Vinke B.Sc., University of Calgary, 2005 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography Candace Vinke, 2010 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Social and Environmental Risk Factors for Trachoma: A Mixed Methods Approach in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia by Candace Vinke Bachelor of Science, University of Calgary, 2005 Supervisory Committee Dr. Stephen Lonergan, Supervisor (Department of Geography) Dr. Denise Cloutier-Fisher, Departmental Member (Department of Geography) Dr. Eric Roth, Outside Member (Department of Anthropology) iii Dr. Stephen Lonergan, Supervisor (Department of Geography) Dr. Denise Cloutier-Fisher, Departmental Member (Department of Geography) Dr. Eric Roth, Outside Member (Department of Anthropology) Abstract Trachoma is a major public health concern throughout Ethiopia and other parts of the developing world. Control efforts have largely focused on the antibiotic treatment (A) and surgery (S) components of the World Health Organizations (WHO) SAFE strategy. Although S and A efforts have had a positive impact, this approach may not be sustainable. Consequently, this study focuses on the latter two primary prevention components; facial cleanliness (F) and environmental improvement (E). A geographical approach is employed to gain a better understanding of how culture, economics, environment and behaviour are interacting to determine disease risk in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia.

    Teka et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2020) 16:27 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-020-00377-1 RESEARCH Open Access Medicinal plant use practice in four ethnic communities (Gurage, Mareqo, Qebena, and Silti), south central Ethiopia Alemtshay Teka1*, Zemede Asfaw2, Sebsebe Demissew2 and Patrick Van Damme3,4 Abstract Background: Ethnic groups throughout the world have developed their own cultures expressed in the form of customs, taboos, and traditional healthcare systems. Traditional medicine system is one of the widespread cultures known throughout the world which is very much tied to cultural practices of the community or ethnic group. Medicinal plant treasure found in Gurage and Silti zones remained poorly characterized and understood. Therefore, this study was conducted in four ethnic groups: three from Gurage zone (Gurage, Qebena, and Mareqo) and one from Silti zone (Silti) which have lived in close proximity and contact for many centuries in the respective zones. In the present study, unique and shared cultural elements in connection to traditional herbal medicine were examined through investigation of the diversity of medicinal plants. Moreover, attempts have been made to determine similarities among the society in the medicinal plants they have used in general and in medicinal plant species considered culturally most important. Methods: In a study that involved 320 randomly sampled informants, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation were used and qualitative and quantitative data were collected. Descriptive statistics, rank order priority (ROP), informant consensus factor, Jaccard similarity coefficient, and clustering were used for data analysis. Results: A total of 244 medicinal plant species and a fungal species used to treat human and/or livestock ailments were documented.

  • 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.
