  • 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.

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.

  • Land Use Patterns and Its Implication for Climate Change: the Case of Gamo Gofa, Southern Ethiopia
    Defaru Debebe. et al., IJSRR 2013, 2(3), 155-173 Research article Available online www.ijsrr.org ISSN: 2279–0543 International Journal of Scientific Research and Reviews Land Use Patterns and its Implication for Climate Change: The Case of Gamo Gofa, Southern Ethiopia Defaru Debebe* and Tuma Ayele Arba Minch University P.O.Box 21, Arba Minch, Ethiopia ABSTRACT Land is one of three major factors of production in classical economics (along with labor and capital) and an essential input for housing and crop production. Land use is the backbone of agriculture and it provides substantial economic and social benefits. Assessing past-to present land use patterns associated with the crop production helps to understand which climatic effects might arise due to expanding crop cultivation. This study was conducted to evaluate the land use pattern and its implication for climate change in Gamo Gofa, Southern Ethiopia. For evaluation, correlation and time series trend analysis were used. Results revealed that a significant reduction in cultivable land, which was converted into cropland and might increase deforestation and greenhouse gas emission, in turn induce climate change. The correlation between cropland and fertile (cultivable) land (r=0.22674) in 2005 improved to (r=0.75734) in 2012 indicating major shift of fertile land to cropland in seven years interval. On other side, twelve years (1987-1999 and 2000-2011) average maximum temperature difference in Gamo Gafa was increased 0.425oC with standard deviation 0.331. It is statistically significant (t =1.284, alpha=0.10) at 10% level of error. Moreover, the spatial differences in climate change are likely to imply a heterogeneous pattern of land use responses.

  • 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.

    United Nations Nations Unies Office for the Coordination of Bureau de Coordination des Humanitarian Affairs in Ethiopia Affaires Humanitaires au Ethiopie Website: Website: http://ochaonline.un.org/ethiopia http://ochaonline.un.org/ethiopia SITUATION REPORT: DROUGHT/FOOD CRISIS IN ETHIOPIA – 11th July 2008 Highlights: • MoH to start training for Health Extension Workers to support nutrition response • WFP faces a shortfall of 200,543 MT of food for emergency relief beneficiaries • Both the emergency relief food and PSNP pipelines have broken • Food insecurity likely to further exacerbate due to late planting of crops and continually soaring prices of food • High numbers of malnutrition cases reported in Borena, Bale, East and West Harerge zones of Oromiya and Gurage, Siltie, Kembata Tembaro, Sidama and Hadiya zones of SNNP Regions. 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.
