The cumulative effects of the poor performance of consecutive rainy seasons coupled with rising food prices and declining livestock income has put the lives and livelihoods of many people at risk. Approximately 1.9 million people in the region require emergency food assistance. Rural-urban migration of people in search of food and assistance increased during the month as the food security situation worsened. According to the September report by DPPB/SC-UK areas where the highest movements have been seen so far are parts of Warder, Fik, Dagahbur and Gode zones and some parts of Shinile zone. The dire food security situation is also hugely impacting upon the nutritional status of communities, particularly children and the elderly.

  • ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook October 2014 to March 2015
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook October 2014 to March 2015 Food security likely to improve in most areas following normal Meher harvest KEY MESSAGES Current food security outcomes, October 2014 Following average to above-average June to September Kiremt rainfall, an average volume of Meher crop production is expected. This will result in improved food security, particularly from October to December in most crop producing areas of the country. However, starting in January, food security will likely decline in areas where long-cycle crops like maize and sorghum failed due to poor March to May Belg rains and the delay in the start of the Kiremt rains. Due to prolonged dry weather, shortages of pasture and water continued in some areas in Afar Region. Livestock have poor body conditions and productivity, and many households now only have small herds. Some households are likely to remain in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) through March.

Box, 132, Samara, Ethiopia. 1*Email: [email protected] Article Received: 11 December 2019 Article Accepted: 07 February 2020 Article Published: 17 March 2020 ABSTRACT A cross sectional study was carried out from January to July 2014 GC in an attempt to assess and prioritize major camel diseases and identify risk factors in the selected areas of Afar region. Camel owners’ interview and retrospective data analysis were the study methods employed. Relevant collected data were organized, filtered and fed into Microsoft Excel sheet and further analyzed using SPSS statistical tools at P< 0.05. Descriptive statistics was carried to determine frequencies of camel diseases camel. Based on descriptive statistics, the study identified and prioritized 16 camel diseases. Chi-Square analysis was computed to measure the degree of association between disease occurrence and risk factors (age, sex, study area and season). Binomial and multinomial logistic regression analyzes were computed at P<0.05 to measure the significance of associated risk factors on disease occurrence. Statistically significant variations (P<0.05) were observed for sex, seasons, age, and study sites on the occurrence of disease with exception kebeles (P>0.05). Though the study duly has revealed numerous diseases of the camel, the actual existence (laboratory based confirmation) and epidemiology of each disease still demands further investigative studies.

  • The Levels of Utilization of Reproductive, Maternal and Neonatal Health Services Among Women from Pastoralist Communities in Afar, Ethiopia: Across-Sectional Survey
    The Levels of utilization of reproductive, maternal and neonatal health services among women from pastoralist communities in Afar, Ethiopia: across-sectional survey Mussie Alemayehu1, Araya Abrha Medhanyie1, Kibrom Berhanu2, Yemane Gebremariam1, Tesfay Hailu1, Selemawit Asfaw Beyene1, Mohammed Ahmed2, Afework Mulugeta1 Abstract Background: Good-quality reproductive, maternal and neonatal health services, as well as their uptake, are key to preventing complications during pregnancy, in childbirth, and after a child is born. However, the uptake of reproductive, maternal and neonatal health services in the Afar region of Ethiopia is low. Objective: The aim of this study to assess the extent to which reproductive, maternal and neonatal services are used by Afar women in pastoralist communities in Ethiopia, and to examine the reasons for the low uptake of these services. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,978 mothers with children up to the age of 24 months. Multistage sampling was employed to recruit the study participants. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the effect of independent predictors on the utilization of reproductive, maternal and neonatal health services. Results: The number of women who had four or more antenatal care visits, who had institutional deliveries, who had postnatal visits within seven days of giving birth, and who currently use family planning was 443(22.4%), 322(16.7%), 61(3.1%) and 107(5.4%), respectively. About one third of the women, 686 (34.7%),made good use of reproductive, maternal and neonatal health services. The incidence of using reproductive, maternal and neonatal health services was 2.8 times (AOR = 2.8; 95%CI: 2.0, 3.9) higher among educated women.
