  • 1. Program Description
    FSCP-GIAF-ETHIOPIA GRANT APPLICATION GUIDE 1. Program Description Cultivating New Frontiers in Agriculture (CNFA) is implementing the 34-month Farm Service Center Program (FSCP) in partnership with the GIZ Green Innovation Centres for the Agriculture and Food Sector in Ethiopia (GIAF-Ethiopia). The project will establish five private retail input supply stores known as Farm Service Centers (FSCs). These Ethiopian-owned and operated enterprises are designed to improve the productivity, food security and incomes of smallholder famers in the Arsi zone of Ethiopia by linking them to high-quality agricultural inputs and extension services. The project is strategically aligned to build the role of the private sector and is connected to CNFA’s other initiatives in Ethiopia, which also work in the development of FSCs. In addition, and in line with the larger GIAF-Ethiopia initiatives the project will establish FSCs in the following five woredas recommended by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the Oromia Bureau of Agriculture - Hitosa, Lude-Hitosa, Arsi-Robe, Digelu-Tijo and Tiyo. The project will also focus on up-scaling of innovations and best practices for wheat and faba bean production. FSCP-GIAF-Ethiopia is a follow-on to the successful Commercial Farm Service Program, which piloted CNFA’s Farm Service Center (FSC) Model in Ethiopia for the first time. CNFA’s Farm Service Center Model is a market-based, private sector model that applies matching grants and training methodology to establish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that deliver farm supplies and services. FSCs are located in larger townships and serve as rural development centers that meet the needs of private farmers in their communities.

  • (Tor) Assessment of Production, Economic and Social Impact of Interventions with Innovations on Selected Fa
    Terms of Reference (ToR) Assessment of production, economic and social impact of interventions with Innovations on selected farms with wheat and faba bean production in Arsi 1. Background Ethiopia has very diverse bio-physical environment with a variety of ecosystems, with significant differences in climate, soil properties, vegetation types, agricultural potential, biodiversity and water resources. That results in different farming systems and farming products. The crop subsector which, on average, accounted for about 30 percent of GDP has been the major contributor to the growth of the agricultural value added during the period of the GTP (Growth and Transformation Plan). The productivity of major food crops (Cereals, Pulses, and Oil seeds) reached an annual average level of 17.6 quintal (100 kg) per hectare. Further increase in production and productivity of major crops will continue to be a priority in the next five years (2016-2020) by fully implementing strategies such as delivering effective extension services, supplying agricultural inputs and conducting famers training. The participation of several actors like international partners and private business will be encouraged and supported as well by the government. In general, during the period of the second Growth and Transformation Plan, objectives are broadly set in terms of increasing crop and livestock production and productivity, promoting natural resource conservation and utilization, ensuring food security and disaster prevention and preparedness. In this regard, the German

Received 28 January, 2015; Accepted 7 May, 2015 A cross-sectional study was conducted in two districts in Arsi zone and one district in East Shoa zone, Ethiopia, to determine seroprevalence and assess the possible risk factors associated with small ruminant brucellosis. A total of 840 blood samples (409 sheep and 431goats) were collected. All sera samples were screened by modified Rose Bengal Test (mRBT) and all positive reactors were further tested by indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA) test for confirmation. All 39 (4.6%) mRBT positive samples tested positive in iELISA. The individual animal and herd level seroprevalences of small ruminant brucellosis in the study area were 4.6 and 26%, respectively. Individual animal and herd level seroprevalences were highest in Adami Tulu-Jido Kombolcha district in East Shoa and lowest in Dodota Sire district in Arsi zone but differences were not statistically significant. In univariate logistic regression, statistically significant difference in seropositivity were found between different age groups, pregnancy status and parity number but not between flock size, species and sex.
