Annotated Bibliography on Agriculture, Food, Rural Development, and Environment in Ethiopia 2020 Vision Network for East Africa Report 2 July 2002 Annotated Bibliography on Agriculture, Food, Rural Development, and Environment in Ethiopia Abebaw Getachew Alemu ETHIOPIAN DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH INSTITUTE INTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE Citation: Alemu, Abebaw Getachew. 2002. Annotated bibliography on agriculture, food, rural development, and environment in Ethiopia. 2020 Vision Network for East Africa Report 2. Washington, D.C.: Ethiopian Development Research Institute and International Food Policy Research Institute, July. The 2020 Vision Network for East Africa seeks to reduce poverty and improve food security and child nutrition, increase agricultural productivity, and promote sustainable use of natural resources through more appropriate and better informed action by (i) generating information through collaborative research; (ii) strengthening the capacity to undertake and communicate policy research and analysis on topics related to food, agriculture, and the environment; and (iii) improving the dissemination and use of information and thereby facilitating more informed dialogue and debate by policymakers and other decisionmakers. The Network comprises of six countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Uganda. It is administered under the auspices of the 2020 Vision for Food, Agriculture, and the Environment Initiative of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). The 2020 Vision Network gratefully acknowledges support from the following donors: Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA); Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ); European Union (EU); and Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). This 2020 Vision Network report series aims to generate and disseminate information on key food policy issues related to food, agriculture, and the environment in East Africa. It will include research output from the Network, including its competitive grants programs, proceedings of workshops organised by the Network, and other materials of relevance to food policy in East Africa. The views expressed in these reports are those of the authors, and not necessarily endorsed by or representative of IFPRI or the supporting organisations.

One of its key immediate objectives is to improve the dissemination and use of information and thereby facilitate more informed dialogue and debate by policymakers and other decisionmakers. The 2020 Vision Network is proud that this annotated bibliography, as one of its first publications, compiles over three hundred and fifty titles on food, agriculture, rural development, and environment in Ethiopia. This impressive collection of information is one of few available and is an excellent source not only for those interested in such topics in Ethiopia, but also for those outside the country who want to learn from Ethiopia's experiences. We appreciate that the Ethiopian Development Research Institute (EDRI), and in particular Dr. Tenkir Bonger, brought this important work to our attention, and that the 2020 Vision Network was given the opportunity to publish and disseminate it. We hope and expect that this publication will be one of many future reports and collaborative efforts that facilitate the exchange of valuable information, thereby leading to a better understanding of food, agriculture, and environment issues in Ethiopia and elsewhere, with the final result of improved policies for the benefit of the poor. Rajul Pandya-Lorch Head, 2020 Vision Initiative International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) -iii- PREFACE This bibliography presents brief results of completed researches, scientific notes and short papers on food, agriculture, rural development, and environment in Ethiopia. It includes materials, the majority of which were published in the 1990s, that are available in different governmental and nongovernmental organizations found in Addis Ababa only. It is believed that the bibliography will help to understand the extent of work done on food, agriculture, water resources, and environment and consequently avoid duplication of work resulting in unnecessary wastage of resources. It also gives a general overview of food security, agriculture, and environmental situation of the country. The publications/documents included in this bibliography, numbering 356 titles, are divided in to four sections: Agriculture [Serial Numbers 1-204]; Food and Nutrition [Serial Numbers 205-280]; Water Resources, Energy, and Irrigation [Serial numbers 281-296]; and Environment [Serial Numbers 297-356]. As is customary with Ethiopian names, the alphabetical order is under the first names. The numbers indicated as superscripts corresponding to the material that they refer to, indicate the location(s) where the particular publication/document is found. Thanks are due to those individuals and institutions who availed their personal documents and allowed us to use their libraries including their computer facilities. We particularly acknowledge the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ethiopian Agricultural Research Organization, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Authority, the Department of Economics of Addis Ababa University, the Institute of Development Research of Addis Ababa University, the Ministry of Economic Development and Cooperation, the Ethiopian Institute of Geological Surveys, CARE Ethiopia, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the Economic Commission for Africa, the International Labour Organization of the United Nations, and the World Food Programme (WFP). We are thankful to Dr. Mulat Demeke, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics of Addis Ababa University, for his invaluable comments and follow up in the preparation of this bibliography and providing his personal collections. Dr. Dejene Aredo is also acknowledged for providing us an Annotated Bibliography on Disaster Prevention and Preparedness in Ethiopia. -v- ACRONYMS AAU Addis Ababa University CARE Cooperation for Assistance and Relief Everywhere, Inc.

AGRICULTURE 1. Abdu Abdulkadir. 1993. "The State of Forestry Research and Directions for the Future in the Eastern Highlands of Ethiopia." In Proceedings of the National Workshop on Setting Forestry Research Priorities in Ethiopia, 27–30 April 1992, ed. A. G. Berhanu, pp. 24–30, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. [Source: Institute of Development Research of Addis Ababa University.] The paper reports on the achievements of the research programs and strategies, in the area of forestry by Alemaya University of Agriculture (AUA). The research in the first phase (1958–84) had enabled AUA to establish and demonstrate the potential of numerous exotic species (included are 13 Eucalyptus species) for afforestation programs in Ethiopia. In the second phase (1984–92), research had increased in depth and changed emphasis towards integrating forestry and agriculture. Studies on land use evolution and framers attitudes towards trees revealed that more people attach higher values to trees when trees disappear from the landscape and when they become more scarce. 2. Abdulhamid Bedri. 1992. "The Peasant Economy: A Review of the Different Theories." Ethiopian Journal of Economics 1 (2): 53–78. [Source: Addis Ababa University, Department of Economics Library.] The paper reviews various theories of the peasant economy. It is shown that the theories have differences as well as similarities. The formalist' school, profit maximization and utility maximization peasant theories take efficiency as a central issue in their analysis. In contrast to the profit maximizing assumption, 'risk averse' peasants theory, formalist theory and some of the political economy theories argue that the aim of peasant production is to avoid risk in the production of household food requirements and not to maximize profits by taking decisions involving high levels of risk. Others add that profit is alien to peasant producers. Still others

    ‘Th ank God for great journalism. Th is book is a much needed, ex- haustively researched and eff ortlessly well written recent history of Ethiopia. A book that strips away the cant and rumour, the pros and antis and thoroughly explains the people, politics and economics of that most beautiful nation. A superb and vital piece of work by some- one who clearly loves the country of which he writes.’ Bob Geldof ‘Th e great Ethiopian famine changed everything and nothing. It fun- damentally altered the rich world’s sense of its responsibility to the hungry and the poor, but didn’t solve anything. A quarter of a century on, we’re still arguing about the roots of the problem, let alone the so- lution, and—though there has been progress—Ethiopia’s food inse- curity gets worse, not better. Peter Gill was one of the most thorough and eff ective television journalists of his generation. He was there in 1984 and his work at the time added up to the most sensible, balanced and comprehensive explanation of what had happened. Twenty-fi ve years later, he’s gone back to test decades of aspiration against the re- alities on the ground. It’s a book that bridges journalism and history, judicious analysis with a strong, and often gripping, narrative. Always readable, but never glib, this is a must for all those who think there is a simple answer to the famine, still waiting in the wings. ’ Michael Buerk ‘No outsider understands Ethiopia better than Peter Gill.

The Research (EIAR), National findings indicated that land allotted for malt barley production has been Fishery and Aquatic Life Research increased in the study areas since 2010, scarcity was noticed due to Center (NAFALRC) constraints related to quality and existence of malt barley competing outlets. Malt barley marketing is complex and dynamic where various actors are involved in its marketing. The marketing route changes over time depending on the demands at the terminal markets. Assela Malt Factory (AMF) plays a great role in determining malt barley price while producers are price takers. Among five major malt barley marketing channels only three of them are supplying to the factory. AMF accessed to 90% of malt barley from the channel via traders and the direct supply by farmers via cooperatives was not more than 10%. The channel via cooperatives which is strategic for both producers and the factory was serving below anticipated due to the financial constraints and management skill gaps of the cooperatives.

In order to achieve these objectives demographic and socio-economic data were collected from 200 randomly selected households in Dodota District of Arsi Zone Oromia Regional State. The sample households were classified into food secure and food insecure groups based on estimated food expenditure value of meeting Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of 2200 kcal.The summary was made using STATA 11 software. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression model. The descriptive analysis of the study revealed that only 23% of the sample households were food secured and about 77% are food insecure. Binary logistic regression model has been employed to identify the major determinants of Food security.Therefore, policy needs to focus on supporting households in delivering services in the area of the determinants of household food security in the study area. Specially, focus should be given to the significant variables which determinate the food security in farm households of the study area.

  • INTRODUCTION in May 1991 There Was a Dramatic Change Of
    INTRODUCTION In May 1991 there was a dramatic change of government in Ethiopia, in which the government of former President Mengistu Haile Mariam was militarily defeated by the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) and the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF). If the new government of Ethiopia and the administration in Eritrea abide by their promises of ensuring democracy and respect for human rights, there is the very real prospect that war and famine will be banished, for the first time in a generation. This report is concerned with the thirty years of wars and famines in Ethiopia between September 1961 and the overthrow of the Mengistu government in May 1991. The starting date is inevitably somewhat arbitrary: alternatives could have been chosen at various dates between 1960 and 1966. September 1, 1961, was the occasion of the first armed clash between the newly-formed Eritrean Liberation Front and the army, and is generally recognized by Ethiopians as the "official" outbreak of the war in Eritrea. Other wars started at dates ranging from 1962 to 1975. Why this Report Now? The principal wars in Ethiopia are now over. It is now too late to influence the policies of the Mengistu government, or those of the international community towards that government. Yet there are a number of reasons for continuing concern with the past. One is that justice demands that many of those were responsible for perpetrating human rights abuses during the war should be brought to trial. Africa Watch welcomes the promise by the new government headed by the EPRDF that such trials will take place in accordance with internationally- accepted norms of due process and in the presence of international observers.

Received 28 May, 2018; Accepted 3 July, 2018 Despite its vital role in the country’s economic activities, livestock sector was considered as poor investment for development in Ethiopia. But currently, it is being given due attention in government policy planning, especially in the last two growth and transformation plans. Arsi zone is known for its own cattle breed known as “Arsi breed” (one of the six local breeds of the country) and has huge livestock population. However, the production system and constraints have not been studied. Therefore, this research was initiated to characterize the production system and prioritize associated production constraints in Arsi zone. In general, the livestock production constraints were studied to be identified and prioritized in order of their importance in each farming system. Overall constraints were categorized into five clusters as feed related constraints, health related constraints, breed related constraints and financial and human power related constraints. Therefore, to solve these constraints, establishment of feed development research program in nearby center (most likely in Asella Agricultural Engineering Research Center) and strong extension system to promote improved forages, better health care and use of improved breeds are suggested as a solution. Provision of credit system in order to enable farmers use all the services like purchase of initial livestock, concentrates and the like must be given due attention.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spiiced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
