  • Background of the Network
    Background of the Network Although interventions against HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia began after the first case was identified in 1984, the establishment of associations of people living with HIV/AIDS didn't happen until the mid 1990s. The involvement of these associations and some other organizations engaged in the fight against the pandemic to the curtain of stigma and discrimination against PLWHA has showed encouraging results and gradually decreased these and other HIV/AIDS related problems. But much remains to be done before it completely disappears and the rights of these groups of the society are fully respected. Now days a number of PLWHA associations are being established throughout the country and are getting involved in the national efforts of fighting against HIV/AIDS. While these associations are involved in the design and implementation of various programs targeting people infected and affected by the virus their emergence and subsequent mushrooming is giving more voice to the debates surrounding the pandemic and to influence policy and the strategies of the government. Nevertheless, the effectiveness and meaningful contribution of these associations was compromised due to the uncoordinated, inconsistent and sometimes contradictory engagements and initiatives. aware of the situations and the need for coordinated and increased involvement of these associations a total of 25 PLWHA associations (embracing more than 2000 PLWHA members) found in the region have established their network /umbrella office in Awassa, capital of the Region in September 2006 while the number is reached to 71. The Network has legally registered as a nongovernmental organization and has got its license from the SNNPR Bureau of Justice.

  • The Case of Angacha Town, Kat Zone, Ethiopia
    Journal of Natural Sciences Research www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3186 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0921 (Online) Vol.7, No.17, 2017 Performance of Micro Enterprise and Its Determinant Factors: The Case of Angacha Town, Kat Zone, Ethiopia Abera Abebe Department of Agricultural Economics, Wolaita Sodo University Abstract This study examines the performance of microenterprises and factors that affects microenterprises in Angacha town KAT Zone. This study also inspect the cost and benefit ratio of micro enterprise as related to financial flow and its management to measure the performance and identified the factors that influence the performance of micro enterprise in Angacha town. All 40 micro enterprises from two sub-towns of Angacha were included in the study and key informants from relevant government office were interviewed to collect necessary data on enterprises performance and determinant factors. Descriptive analyses of the data were computed to assess various characteristics of micro enterprises in the study area. According to the result obtained from benefit cost ratio analysis 71.8% of enterprises found in the study area survived whereas 28.2% failed. In addition, a regression model was used to identify the determinant factors that affected the performance of the enterprises. The results of the regression analysis showed that age of enterprises, age of operators, education level, number of employees, amount of initial capital, entrepreneurial skill, experience of manager, access to training and access to market were statistically significant at less than 1% significance level and had positive relationship with the performance of enterprises. Recommendations emanating from the study are to build up the performance of micro enterprises not only to survive in the business but also to transform into small, medium and higher level of enterprises.

Situation Update Soaring food prices and poor rain performance are expected to further affect the food security situation of the urban and rural poor, vulnerable pastoral and agropastoral populations according to WFP. Maize, harricot beans and teff planted using the late belg rains in April and May are performing well in some areas but are wilting in others due to dry spells, whilst in some areas crops have been destroyed by armyworm. Green harvest of maize and some Irish potato harvest is expected beginning in late August/September. WFP noted also that unusual stress associated with the migration of both cattle and people within the Somali Region and some areas of Afar and Oromiya Regions is resulting in increased clan conflict over resources. According to CARE, improved water availability has been recorded in South Gonder and East Harerge zones of Amhara and Oromiya Regions allowing cultivation of late planted crops.
