Taylor 287 GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS 291 ACKNOWLEDGMENT 295 SUBSCRIPTION 295 NOTICE TO MEMBERS OF THE ETHIOPIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION 295 179 FOREWORD It is my pleasure to have seen that the publication of this Special Issue of the Ethiopian Medical Journal (EMJ) on Community Based Newborn Care (CBNC) is realized. CBNC provides lifesaving services and is part of our com- mitment to reducing the morbidity and mortality among newborns, thereby also enhancing wellbeing among their families. Indeed, Ethiopia is one of the first countries in the world to provide these services at the community level, which has been now been scaled up and provided nationally. The dissemination of our experience and lessons learned to date through this Special Issue of the EMJ, I hope, will encourage other country programs to adopt simi- lar approaches to improve newborn health. During the period 2000 - 2016, Ethiopia reduced under-five child mortality by 60%, a reduction from 166 to 67 per 1000 live births. The leadership and political commitment from the government, the advances in evidence-based interventions, and the improvement in health, nutrition and family planning services provided the impetus for this notable achievement. It is widely recognized that Ethiopia has been at the forefront in reaching vulnerable women and children, especially in rural areas, rapidly and progressively scaling-up its Health Extension Programme (HEP) since 2003. More than 38,000 salaried Health Extension Workers (HEWs), the majority of them young women, have been deployed to over 15,000 health posts across the country. Women volunteers organized under the Health Development Army and working with communities have been instrumental in expanding healthy behaviours and practices among the population, including early care seeking for newborn illnesses. The Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) introduced and scaled-up Integrated Community Case Management dur- ing 2010-2012. The package constitutes high quality basic curative interventions for children under five years of age. When referral is not possible and depending on the diagnosis, HEWs provide treatment with oral antibiotics, oral rehydration solution/zinc, or anti-malarial drugs. However, evidence showed limited care seeking by young infants under-two months of age, a group vulnerable to serious infection. Combined with the observation that new- born mortality declined, much more slowly since 2000, accounting for some 43% of all under-five deaths, the FMOH intensified relevant and required interventions. The FMOH designed and launched the implementation of CBNC in 2013. This was incorporated into the National Newborn and Child Survival Strategy. Guidelines, training materials, and provider support tools were developed and made available to service providers. Under the leadership of the Ministry, resources were mobilized and part- ners, including the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), The United States Agency for International Devel- opment (USAID), the World Health Organization (WHO), Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) and technical agencies worked together to roll out and support implementation in all of the four agrarian regions in the country. CBNC has been initiated in selected woredas in the regions requiring special support to learn from and replicate in the remaining woredas. The program is a priority of the government’s Health Sector Transformation Plan (HSTP) and is to be expanded nationwide by the end of the first HSTP period. This Special Issue of EMJ documents the efforts of the government and development partners to introduce and scale up CBNC to improve the coverage and quality of services, to create demand, and to strengthen health system performance. I sincerely believe that the evidence generated will be instrumental in improving policy and decision making on critical issues related to CBNC in Ethiopia and beyond.

Ethiop Med J, 2019, Supp. 3 OVERVIEW COMMUNITY BASED NEWBORN CARE IN ETHIOPIA: INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE Mary E. Taylor, PhD 1*, Abeba Bekele, MD, MPH, MA 2 In 2012, Ethiopia achieved an under-five mortality rate (U5MR) of 68 per 1000 live births, and therefore success- fully reached Millennium Development Goal 4, having reduced the U5MR by two-thirds from its level of 204 in 1990m(1). Improvements in nutrition, immunization, management of childhood diarrhea and pneumonia, water and sanitation, and use of insecticide treated bed nets contributed to Ethiopia’s success. However, most of the be- nefit was realized by reducing mortality among older children, as the neonatal mortality rate (NMR) declined more gradually from 54 to 29 per 1000 live births. By 2013, neonates accounted for fully 43% of all under-five deaths (2). Earlier, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health (FMOH) had prioritized newborn health in its fourth Health Sector De- velopment Plan (HSDP IV) and the

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.

  • Starving Tigray
    Starving Tigray How Armed Conflict and Mass Atrocities Have Destroyed an Ethiopian Region’s Economy and Food System and Are Threatening Famine Foreword by Helen Clark April 6, 2021 ABOUT The World Peace Foundation, an operating foundation affiliated solely with the Fletcher School at Tufts University, aims to provide intellectual leadership on issues of peace, justice and security. We believe that innovative research and teaching are critical to the challenges of making peace around the world, and should go hand-in- hand with advocacy and practical engagement with the toughest issues. To respond to organized violence today, we not only need new instruments and tools—we need a new vision of peace. Our challenge is to reinvent peace. This report has benefited from the research, analysis and review of a number of individuals, most of whom preferred to remain anonymous. For that reason, we are attributing authorship solely to the World Peace Foundation.

Cover photo: A Tigrayan child at the refugee registration center near Kassala, Sudan Starving Tigray | I FOREWORD The calamitous humanitarian dimensions of the conflict in Tigray are becoming painfully clear. The international community must respond quickly and effectively now to save many hundreds of thou- sands of lives. The human tragedy which has unfolded in Tigray is a man-made disaster. Reports of mass atrocities there are heart breaking, as are those of starvation crimes.

  • Regreening of the Northern Ethiopian Mountains: Effects on Flooding and on Water Balance
    PATRICK VAN DAMME THE ROLE OF TREE DOMESTICATION IN GREEN MARKET PRODUCT VALUE CHAIN DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA afrika focus — Volume 31, Nr. 2, 2018 — pp. 129-147 REGREENING OF THE NORTHERN ETHIOPIAN MOUNTAINS: EFFECTS ON FLOODING AND ON WATER BALANCE Tesfaalem G. Asfaha (1,2), Michiel De Meyere (2), Amaury Frankl (2), Mitiku Haile (3), Jan Nyssen (2) (1) Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Mekelle University, Ethiopia (2) Department of Geography, Ghent University, Belgium (3) Department of Land Resources Management and Environmental Protection, Mekelle University, Ethiopia The hydro-geomorphology of mountain catchments is mainly determined by vegetation cover. This study was carried out to analyse the impact of vegetation cover dynamics on flooding and water balance in 11 steep (0.27-0.65 m m-1) catchments of the western Rift Valley escarpment of Northern Ethiopia, an area that experienced severe deforestation and degradation until the first half of the 1980s and considerable reforestation thereafter. Land cover change analysis was carried out using aerial photos (1936,1965 and 1986) and Google Earth imaging (2005 and 2014). Peak discharge heights of 332 events and the median diameter of the 10 coarsest bedload particles (Max10) moved in each event in three rainy seasons (2012-2014) were monitored. The result indicates a strong re- duction in flooding (R2 = 0.85, P<0.01) and bedload sediment supply (R2 = 0.58, P<0.05) with increas- ing vegetation cover. Overall, this study demonstrates that in reforesting steep tropical mountain catchments, magnitude of flooding, water balance and bedload movement is strongly determined by vegetation cover dynamics.

  • The Effect of Community-Based Interventions on Increasing Family
    The Effect of Community-Based Interventions on Increasing Family Planning Utilization in Pastoralist Community of Afar Region Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial By: Mussie Alemayehu Gebreselassie (B.SC, MPH/RH) Advisors: Dr.Afework Mulugeta (Ph.D., Associate Professor) Dr.Araya Abrha (Ph.D., Associate Professor) Feb, 2018 Mekelle, Ethiopia i | P a g e Summary Introduction: Pastoralism, practiced on a quarter of the globe’s surface. An estimated 50 million pastoralists live in sub-Saharan Africa. In Ethiopia, pastoralist community contributes to 12-15% of the total population and 60% of the surface area. Based on the report of Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey 2016 (EDHS) report, Ethiopia shows an impressive gain in family planning utilization. However, such gain is not uniformly distributed across the agrarian and pastoralist region. The Afar region was one of the regions with low performance of family planning utilization (11.6%). Therefore, this study aims at quantifying the effect of the community-based intervention which includes male involvement and women education on increasing family planning service utilization in pastoralist community from Afar region. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial with three arm studies will be employed in 33 clusters of pastoralist community from Afar region. The intervention includes women education and male involvement in family planning utilization and this will be compared with the control group. A total of three data at pre-intervention, midline (follow-up) and post-intervention data will be collected with a four and half months time gap. The data structure will be restructured following collecting the baseline data to enable for follow up of the mother.

  • COUNTRY Food Security Update
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update June 2013 The delayed Belg harvest prolongs lean season in southern and eastern Belg-producing areas Figure 1. Current food security outcomes, June 2013 KEY MESSAGES • Following a three- to four-week delayed onset of the rains which delayed planting and crop development, Belg crops will likely not be harvested until mid-July in southern and eastern Belg-producing areas instead of mid-June. The delayed harvest prevents the timely planting of short-cycle Meher crops on the same land. • The poor performance of February to May Belg rains in the northeastern receiving areas is likely to result in a well below average and delayed Belg harvest, increasing food insecurity from July to September. In parts of the southern areas, food security will improve from Crisis (IPC Phase 3) in some areas to Stressed (IPC Phase 2) with increased supply from the Belg harvest, even if that harvest is both late and somewhat below average. Source: FEWS NET Ethiopia • The good performance of March to May Gu/Genna rains Figure 2. Projected food security outcomes, July to increased milk production, so the food security situation September 2013 in southern and southeastern pastoral areas has improved. The declines in milk prices have increased milk access for market-dependent households as well. • Above average rainfall totals since mid-May have enabled the planting of long-cycle maize and sorghum and land preparation for short-cycle crops in most parts of the country except in the northeastern areas where the total Belg rainfall was below average. With normal to above normal June to September Kiremt rains forecast, the Meher crop performance is likely to be normal in these areas.
