Pahir Dar, Ethiopia Acknowledgement We are very grateful to the assisstances received from the Amhara Region Institute of Agricultural Research, Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Developemnt and The Food for the Hungry International/Ethiopia without whom this workshop and this proceeding edition would have been impossible. We are also very much thankful of all the staffs helped us at all stakes for the suceess of this workshop as planned. The editor. Welcome Address Tesfaye Abebe Desta National Potato Research Project Coordinator Your Excellency Dr. Alemayehu Asseffa Deputy Director General, Amhara Region Agricultural Research Institute Your Excellency Ato Aynalem Gezahegne, Head of Extension Department of the Amhara BoARD, and representative of the Deputy Head of the Amhara BoARD Dear head of different offices, Colleagues and Fellow Participants of the Workshop It is a great pleasure and honor for me to welcome you all to this historical and special workshop of potato. I said special because of two very important underlying facts. One and the most important is that this workshop is the first Regional workshop of potato to the Institute in the dawn of the old and the eve of the new Ethiopian Millennium The second important reason that makes this workshop special is that the workshop is convened in the eve of the coming 2008 European year, a year which is dedicated to be an International Year of the Potato by the world Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). And / am quite very sure that every one o f you will be very happy of attending this workshop which will not come to pass again in our life time. As we all know most of us are busy of Regional and institutional work load during the past week. I appreciate the inconveniencies that ail of you had to attend this workshop just traveling long distances within few days and also leaving many of your office assignments. I believe you will tolerate all this considering the significance of this i deliberation as one of the vital event that will contribute a lot to what the country as well as the Regional government envisioned in the new Millennium that is poverty eradication and ensuring food security at the household level. Dear participants, within the coming two days a total of 17 papers related to potato technology generation and transfer will be presented. Above all experiences of technology transfer efforts made by different institutions will be thoroughly discussed and recommendations will be passed as to how should we go about scaling up of the previous years pilot works so that the larger community at all stage will benefit from huge public investments made on generating sound and proved technologies. Also the seed system that needs to be established in the Region so as to meet the stipulated Millennium Development Goal will be discussed. We will also finally have an award ceremony in recognition of the efforts of industrious farmers and development agents in Tach Gayint District during the past summer in a community based Potato seed tuber multiplication and technology transfer activity. With this brief introductory remark may I respectfully invite Ato Aynalem Gezahegne, Head of extension Department of the Amhara BoARD. and representative of the Deputy Head of the Amhara BoARD to officially open the workshop? Opening Address Ato Ayinalem Gezahegne, Head of the Department of Extension o f BoARD and representative of Deputy Head of BOARD Dr. Alemayehu Asseffa, Deputy Director General of the ARARI Participants of the workshop Ladies and Gentlemen It is an honor and pleasure for me to be present today at the opening of the fiist Amhara National Regional State (ANRS) Regional Workshop on Potato Research and Development. I want to take this opportunity to express, on hehalf the Amhara Region Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Development, my deep appreciation to the ARARJ for all it did to facilitate this very important event of experience exchange among various stakeholders involved in the agricultural development system and information augmentation forum. I also extend my warm welcome to you all gathered in this hall. It is also a great pleasure for me to express my sincere hope that your stay here and deliberations will be pleasant and fruitful one. As most of you are aware, since the past 1980’s an aggressive extension work has been started in the region and the country as a whole. This is also a time during which package formulation for the implementation of the foreseen extension work is launched. Following this urgency and the need for regional agricultural technologies regional agricultural research centers exerted strong effort to develop technologies that best suit to regional priority problems. After years of perceptive efforts today it has been reached to such level at which achievements of various stakeholders will be discussed and augmented into one document to be used as a working guideline. Today, the Amhara Regional State Government is laying down better environment inline with building good governance, peace and development. The encouraging devejopments in this respect are being followed by commensurable and all round efforts of the people at all levels. You participants of this workshop are the source of research and development actors to the Regional backbone of the economy, i.e., agricultural sector. Ladies and Gentlemen Shortage of appropriate research technologies and transfer system has been the source of current level of agricultural productivity seen in the region as well as the country. This ultimately resulted in the low amount of food reserve and food security problems. Potato as one of the agricultural crop produced in the mid and high altitude “areas of the region has multiple constraints that needs closer research attention and technology transfer system so as it could contribute to the access of sufficient food at the household level. Recently, the multifaceted agricultural research outputs and their

  • Using Geospatial Techniques in the Selection of Potential Ecotourism Sites in Menz-Geramidir District, Ethiopia
    Using Geospatial Techniques in the Selection of Potential Ecotourism Sites in Menz-geramidir District, Ethiopia Baykedagn Taye 1 Sintayehu Legesse Gebre2,3* Dessalegn Obsi Gemeda2 Kefelegn Getahun1 Abstract Ecotourism is expressed as when tourists are attracted to a given geographic area (i.e. space) which has its own available natural, environmental, and socioeconomic resources by considering environmental sustainability, local benefit, and promotion. Space is an elementary part of ecotourism activities. Hence, the aim of this study is to identify potential ecotourism sites in Menz-geramidir district mainly by considering the natural features. Using weighting of each factor, three criteria and five-factor maps are identified, namely: landscape (land use land cover map), topography (elevation and slope map) and accessibility (road and river map). Those identified factor maps first ranked based on expert opinion, and then the weight of influence ofeach factor was computed by pair-wise comparison technique which is one of AHP method. The image classification was carried out in ERDAS imagine software using supervised image classification method. The image classification accuracy assessment indicates that the overall accuracy is 84% and the overall Kappa coefficient is 0.80. The final ecotourism potential sites model map was created based on the linear combination of factors with their respective weights in ArcGIS overlay extension and presented using FAO`s suitability scheme into four classes. The result showed that11% is highly suitable and lies to the eastern part of the study area. Generally,major suitable and moderately suitable area accounts for 75.6 % and marginally suitable area for 13.5 % and the not suitable area is 0.06 %.

    Enhancing the Role of Forestry in Building Climate Resilient Green Economy in Ethiopia Strategy for scaling up effective forest management practices in Amhara National Regional State with particular emphasis on smallholder plantations Wubalem Tadesse Alemu Gezahegne Teshome Tesema Bitew Shibabaw Berihun Tefera Habtemariam Kassa Center for International Forestry Research Ethiopia Office Addis Ababa October 2015 Copyright © Center for International Forestry Research, 2015 Cover photo by authors FOREWORD This regional strategy document for scaling up effective forest management practices in Amhara National Regional State, with particular emphasis on smallholder plantations, was produced as one of the outputs of a project entitled “Enhancing the Role of Forestry in Ethiopia’s Climate Resilient Green Economy”, and implemented between September 2013 and August 2015. CIFOR and our ministry actively collaborated in the planning and implementation of the project, which involved over 25 senior experts drawn from Federal ministries, regional bureaus, Federal and regional research institutes, and from Wondo Genet College of Forestry and Natural Resources and other universities. The senior experts were organised into five teams, which set out to identify effective forest management practices, and enabling conditions for scaling them up, with the aim of significantly enhancing the role of forests in building a climate resilient green economy in Ethiopia. The five forest management practices studied were: the establishment and management of area exclosures; the management of plantation forests; Participatory Forest Management (PFM); agroforestry (AF); and the management of dry forests and woodlands. Each team focused on only one of the five forest management practices, and concentrated its study in one regional state.

  • 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.
