What drives vulnerability among pastoral settings of Ethiopia is not well documented. Department of Preventive Medicine, School of Public Health, Addis Ababa Objectives: This study aims to identify drivers of vulnerability to HIV infection among the University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Borana pastoral community of Ethiopia. Methods: Data were collected during 2008–2009 as part of a PhD work and subsequently in 2014 and 2016, during a follow-up visit to Borana. Data on perceived threats of HIV, facilita- tors of vulnerability, coping mechanisms and perceived consequences were collected by trained research assistants using topic guides developed for this purpose. In-depth and key informant interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with selected married men and women, opinion leaders, and HIV focal persons of public sectors and Non Governmental Organizations in Teltele, Arero, Yabelo and Moyale were carried out. Sample transcripts were checked for consistency and Video abstract completeness before data collection was completed. Two qualitative researchers read transcripts and suggested themes and subthemes in reference to the objective of the study. Transcripts were imported to MAXQDA software.

    Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1700 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2855 (Online) Vol.12, No.11, 2021 Assessments of the Determinants that Affect Women’s Participation in Economic Activities: The Case of Bule Hora and Yabelo Districts, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia Defaru Adugna Feye (MSc) Edosa Kubsa Lebeta(MSc) Department of Economics, College of Business and Economics, Bule Hora University, Ethiopia Abstract An economic activity is a process of producing and or provision of goods and service in economic sectors. Currently, half of Ethiopian peoples are females; which imply their role is great in economic activities. This study aimed to investigate the participation of women in economic activities and the factors that affect them in at the study area. To achieve the objectives of the study primary data was collected from 374 sample size based on 136585 estimated number of women of the districts in 2011/2012 E.C.; descriptive and econometric approach were used in analyzing the collected data. Even though women had been great a role in the economic growth, their participation were faced hindrance such as low level of training and traditional attitude toward business at the study area. The model used estimates that as the number of children increases by one, their participation is 0.6 times as likely to dis-occur among households. It was recommended that the government and others stakeholders should give awareness on the attitude of women toward business, family planning and train women on business in order to improve the participation of women in economic activities at the study area.

Current estimated food security outcomes, 2010, food security has generally improved in the January 2011 meher producing parts of the country. However, due to crop damage caused by widespread floods and other weather related shocks the meher harvest is likely to be lower than initially anticipated. The Humanitarian Requirement Documents outlining assistance needs is expected to be released in February 2011. Although the National Meteorology Agency has not provided a forecast for the April to June gu/genna/belg rains, below normal performance of these rains is considered likely. This is expected to exacerbate prevailing food insecurity which resulted from near complete failure of October to December rains in southern pastoral and agro pastoral areas. Due to close to normal sapie (December/January) 2010 rains food security among the dominant root crop, For more information on FEWS NET’s Food Insecurity Severity Scale, please see: www.fews.net/FoodInsecurityScale mainly sweet potatoes growing areas in central and eastern SNNPR is estimated to remain stable Source: FEWS NET and WFP throughout the outlook period. The poor and very poor households normally rely on these harvests, during the March to May lean season. Staple food prices are likely to follow typical seasonal trends throughout the outlook period, though remain higher than the 2005 to 2009 averages given the current harvest and the continued price stabilization measures taken by the government.

  • Are Cattle Die-Offs Predictable on the Borana Plateau?
    Are Cattle Die-Offs Predictable on the Borana Plateau? D. Layne Coppock, Getachew Gebru, and Solomon Desta, Utah State University; Sintayehu Mesele, OARI; Seyoum Tezerra, PARIMA Project Pastoral Risk Management Project Research Brief 08-02-PARIMA December 2008 Drought regularly affects rangelands and contributes to high death rates for livestock and poverty for pastoralists. But do livestock losses occur randomly simply when rainfall is low, or are they cyclical and predictable? Previously, PARIMA researchers proposed that high stocking rates—combined with low rainfall—trigger livestock die-offs on the Borana Plateau. CRSP It takes about six years for animal numbers to recover, setting the stage for another die-off when a dry year occurs. This “boom-and-bust” cycle is based on observed herd crashes in 1983-5, 1991-3, and 1998-9. Researchers predicted in 2002 that the next major die-off would occur during 2004-06, and one goal of this brief is to report on recent observations. Team members also examined ecological change in relation to livestock patterns. Results confirm that a major crash occurred during 2005, verifying the prediction. The rangelands have been degraded by decades of heavy livestock grazing, resulting in bush encroachment and top-soil erosion. Will the next livestock crash occur “on schedule” around 2011? Probably not—it is expected sooner. Researchers speculate that the production system is rapidly changing, a view shared by local pastoralists. Livestock carrying capacity is reportedly declining and animal die-offs may become more frequent and irregular. Background Drought routinely affects pastoral areas. Ellis and Swift a dry year.
