  • ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook October 2014 to March 2015
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook October 2014 to March 2015 Food security likely to improve in most areas following normal Meher harvest KEY MESSAGES Current food security outcomes, October 2014 Following average to above-average June to September Kiremt rainfall, an average volume of Meher crop production is expected. This will result in improved food security, particularly from October to December in most crop producing areas of the country. However, starting in January, food security will likely decline in areas where long-cycle crops like maize and sorghum failed due to poor March to May Belg rains and the delay in the start of the Kiremt rains. Due to prolonged dry weather, shortages of pasture and water continued in some areas in Afar Region. Livestock have poor body conditions and productivity, and many households now only have small herds. Some households are likely to remain in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) through March.

  • Afar: Insecurity and Delayed Rains Threaten Livestock and People
    EMERGENCIES UNIT FOR UNITED NATIONS ETHIOPIA (UN-EUE) Afar: insecurity and delayed rains threaten livestock and people Assessment Mission: 29 May – 8 June 2002 François Piguet, Field Officer, UN-Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia 1 Introduction and background 1.1 Animals are now dying The Objectives of the mission were to assess the situation in the Afar Region following recent clashes between Afar and Issa and Oromo pastoralists, and focus on security and livestock movement restrictions, wate r and environmental issues, the marketing of livestock as well as “chronic” humanitarian issues. Special attention has been given to all southern parts of Afar region affected by recent ethnic conflicts and erratic small rains, which initiated early pastoralists movements in zone 3 & 5. The assessment also took into account various food security issues, including milk availability while also looking at limited water resources in Eli Daar woreda (Zone 1), where particularly remote kebeles1 suffer from water shortage. High concentrations of animals have been noticed in several locations of Afar region during the current dry season. The most important reason for the present humanitarian emergency crisis in parts of Afar Region and surroundings are the various ethnic conflicts among the Issa, the Kereyu, the Afar and the Ittu. These Dead camel in Doho, Awash-Fantale (photo Francois Piguet conflicts forced pastoralists to change UN-EUE, July 2002 their usual migration patterns and most importantly were denied access to either traditional water points and wells or grazing areas or both together. On top of this rather complex and confuse conflict situation, rains have now been delayed by more than two weeks most likely all over Afar Region and is now causing livestock deaths.

  • Sero-Prevalence of Contagious Caprine Pleuropneu- Monia in Goat at Selected Woredas of Afar Region
    Sero-Prevalence of Contagious Caprine Pleuropneu- monia in Goat at Selected Woredas of Afar Region Feyesa Regassa1* Misrak Netsere1, Tefera Tsertse2, 1 Jimma University, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, School of Veteri- nary Medicine, P. O. Box 307, Jimma, Ethiopia * Corresponding author: [email protected] 2 National Animal Health diagnostic and Investigation Center Abstract A cross - sectional survey was conducted from 17 Oct. to 11 Dec. 2008 with the aim of determining the sero-prevalence and the major risk factors of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) in the selected eight districts of Afar region namely: Afambo, Assaita, Dubti, Mille, Gewane, Amibara, Dewe and Telalak. During the study a total of 329 goat sera, was examined for the presence of specific antibod- ies against Mycoplasma capricolum sub. spp. capripneumoniae using CFT. The result revealed that 22.49% (74) prevalence rate. With respect to goats origin, the serological prevalence rates was 31.85%, 36.36%, 18.75%, 12.50%, 12.16%, 10%, 22.22%, and 19.56% from Afambo, Assaita, Dubti, Mille, Gewane, Amibara, Dewe and Telalak districts respectively. The result indicated that there is significant dif- ference (P < 0.05) in sero positive rate among the different districts. The considered risk factors, age (P<0.05, χ2=7.8792) and sex (P<0.05, χ2=5.9661) were found to be significantly associated with the prevalence of CCPP in the study population. In conclusion the present study indicated that the over all prevalence of CCPP in Afar region is high. The study underlines the importance of further epidemiologi- cal study of the disease and its associated risk factors, and implementation of ap- propriate preventive and control measures.

  • Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group
    DRMTechnical Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group Covering 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2016 Prepared by Clusters and NDRMC Introduction The El Niño global climactic event significantly affected the 2015 meher/summer rains on the heels of failed belg/ spring rains in 2015, driving food insecurity, malnutrition and serious water shortages in many parts of the country. The Government and humanitarian partners issued a joint 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) in December 2015 requesting US$1.4 billion to assist 10.2 million people with food, health and nutrition, water, agriculture, shelter and non-food items, protection and emergency education responses. Following the delay and erratic performance of the belg/spring rains in 2016, a Prioritization Statement was issued in May 2016 with updated humanitarian requirements in nutrition (MAM), agriculture, shelter and non-food items and education.The Mid-Year Review of the HRD identified 9.7 million beneficiaries and updated the funding requirements to $1.2 billion. The 2016 HRD is 69 per cent funded, with contributions of $1.08 billion from international donors and the Government of Ethiopia (including carry-over resources from 2015). Under the leadership of the Government of Ethiopia delivery of life-saving and life- sustaining humanitarian assistance continues across the sectors. However, effective humanitarian response was challenged by shortage of resources, limited logistical capacities and associated delays, and weak real-time information management. This Periodic Monitoring Report (PMR) provides a summary of the cluster financial inputs against outputs and achievements against cluster objectives using secured funding since the launch of the 2016 HRD.

  • Guidelines and Proposal for Food Security Assessment in North and South Gonder Zones
    EMERGENCIES UNIT FOR UNITED NATIONS ETHIOPIA (UN-EUE) Cheffa Valley: refuge for 50,000 pastoralists and 200,000 animals Present humanitarian situation and livestock conditions in selected areas in and around Afar region Assessment Mission: 21- 26 July 2002 By Francois Piguet, UN-Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia 1 Introduction and background The mission’s major objective was to assess the humanitarian situation and livestock condition in selected surrounding areas of Afar region and in the Cheffa valley (Oromiya zone, Amhara region). The mission also cross-checked the situation in Afar region zone 5 and the Argobba special woreda (Afar region zone 3), from where unusual pastoralists movements started in January 2002. The assessment focused on animal condition, migration, marketing conditions and terms of trade, food availability and the nutritional situation in pastoralist settlements, particularly availability of milk. The mission hoped to get a better understanding of pastoralist stress migration and coping mechanisms in the western border zones with the Amhara highlands. During the field trip the following areas were visited: Adadlehangeg Sinkinamelket kebele in Simurobi Gele’Alo woreda (zone 5, Afar region), Cheffa Valley with temporary Afar settlements (Photo by Yves Guinand, UN- EUE, June 1999) Bati woreda (Oromiya zone, Amhara region), Telalak and Dewe woredas (zone 5, Afar region), Dalifage in Artuma woreda (zone 5, Afar region) Kemise (Oromiya zone, Amhara region), Showa Robit (North Showa, Amhara region) and Gacheni in Argobba special woreda (zone 3, Afar Region). Except Fursi woreda still located off-road, the four other woredas of zone 5, Afar region were visited. South-western areas in Afar Region: zone 5 as well as Dulecha close to Argobba woreda in zone 3, Afar pastoralists are usually moving to the western escarpment (Oromiya zone in Amhara Region and North Showa) and/or to Zone 3, along the Awash River.
