  • The Role of Users at the Different Levels of Wash Projects
    Briefing note – No. 6 The Role of Users at the Different Levels of WaSH Projects Learning and Communications in WASH in Amhara Introductio n recommendations for increasing community management of WaSH in the Amhara Region. The In Africa and other developing countries, sustainability of rural water supply is quite low with 30 to 60% of the main research document will soon be available at schemes becoming non-functional at some point after www.wateraidethiopia.org and www.bdu.edu.et. implementation (Brikké and Bredero, 2003). The lack of community participation especially in management has been recognized as one of the reasons for the low Background sustainability (Carter.1999). For example, limited Harvey and Reed (2006) explain that “community involvement of the community at all stages of water participation does not automatically lead to effective development, the lack of a modest water service fee community management, nor should it have to. and a shortage of adequate skill and capacity to Community participation is a prerequisite for maintain water resources are specific aspects of sustainability, i.e. to achieve efficiency, effectiveness, community participation that have decreased equity, and replicablity, but community management is sustainability of rural water supply in the Amhara not. The community management in rural Ethiopia is Region of Ethiopia (Mengesha et al, 2003). based on the formation of water user committees All water supply providers in Ethiopia are currently usually at each water point in order to follow up the following the principle of community participation and implementation process, to manage the WaSH scheme community management in the rural area.

    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.

  • ASSESSMENT of CHALLENGES of SUSTAINABLE RURAL WATER SUPPLY: QUARIT WOREDA, AMHARA REGION a Project Paper Presented to the Facult
    ASSESSMENT OF CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABLE RURAL WATER SUPPLY: QUARIT WOREDA, AMHARA REGION A Project Paper Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Professional Studies by Zemenu Awoke January 2012 © 2012 Zemenu Awoke Alemeyehu ABSTRACT Sustainability of water supplies is a key challenge, both in terms of water resources and service delivery. The United Nations International Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimates that one third of rural water supplies in sub-Saharan Africa are non- operational at any given time. Consequently, the objective of this study is to identify the main challenges to sustainable rural water supply systems by evaluating and comparing functional and non-functional systems. The study was carried out in Quarit Woreda located in West Gojjam, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. A total of 217 water supply points (169 hand-dug wells and 50 natural protected springs) were constructed in the years 2005 to 2009. Of these water points, 184 were functional and 33 were non-functional. Twelve water supply systems (six functional and six non-functional) among these systems were selected. A household survey concerning the demand responsiveness of projects, water use practices, construction quality, financial management and their level of satisfaction was conducted at 180 households. All surveyed water projects were initiated by the community and the almost all of the potential users contributed money and labor towards the construction of the water supply point. One of the main differences between the functional and non-functional system was the involvement of the local leaders.

The region borders Tigray in the North, Afar in the East, Oromiya in the South, Benishangul-Gumiz in the Southwest and the country of Sudan to the west [1]. Amhara is divided into 11 zones, and 140 Weredas (see map at the bottom of this page). There are about 3429 kebeles (the smallest administrative units) [1]. "Decision-making power has recently been decentralized to Weredas and thus the Weredas are responsible for all development activities in their areas." The 11 administrative zones are: North Gonder, South Gonder, West Gojjam, East Gojjam, Awie, Wag Hemra, North Wollo, South Wollo, Oromia, North Shewa and Bahir Dar City special zone. [1] The historic Amhara Region contains much of the highland plateaus above 1500 meters with rugged formations, gorges and valleys, and millions of settlements for Amhara villages surrounded by subsistence farms and grazing fields. In this Region are located, the world- renowned Nile River and its source, Lake Tana, as well as historic sites including Gonder, and Lalibela. "Interspersed on the landscape are higher mountain ranges and cratered cones, the highest of which, at 4,620 meters, is Ras Dashen Terara northeast of Gonder.

The study was carried on 420 indigenous cattle managed under small holder mixed crop-livestock Production system to determine the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis. This study employs parasitological survey by the use of buffy coat examination and hematological study by the use of packed cell volume (PCV) to investigate the prevalence of trypanosome infection and the species of trypanosome affecting cattle in three villages of South Achefer district in Amhara reg ional state. Blood examination conducted on 420 randomly selected cattle showed an overall prevalence of 6.19% without significant difference (P > 0.05) between the villages, sex and age, But the prevalence of trypanosome infection was shown to be significantly associated (P < 0.05) with BCS,PCV.and color The species of trypanosomes encountered in the current study were T vivax and T congolensewhich accounted for 62.5% and 31.25% of the overall infection, respectively.
