Based on the 1994 national census, the projecterl population of the zone in the year 2003 is estimated to be 1,941,430. The zone has a roral surface area of 23,980 sq. krn and is further divided into 20 districts and i4l villages. One district natnely Gidame shares a 76 km border area with the Sudan and the zone is also bordered by the Benshangul-Gumuz and Gambella National Regional Srate and East Wellega and Illubabor zones of the Oromia region. About 90.3 Vo oithe population lives in rural areas atid 9.7Vo live in urban area. The zone has a population density of 80 persons per square km. The zone is identified as Onchocerciasis endenric area and districts r.r'ith hy'per and meso levels of endemicitl' are proposed for the inrplemcntatigrr of CDTI activities. The project objective for Year-One is to conduct CDTI in six priority districts. The Annual Treatment Objective (AfO) for year-One is 563,909 and the Ultimate Treatment Goal (UTG) will be determined u,lren REMO refinement is completed in November 2003, in the other srx districts ol'East Wellega projecr area.

The topo-eraphy of the zone is donrinated by hills and gorges that range in altitude from 600 m in the extrenre Western end to 2100 m above sea level in the eastern part of rhe zone. The zone has three big rivers namely Didesa, Birbir and Keto rivers tlrat drain in to the Blue Nile. The area has many other small rivers and srreams that drain in to rhe basin (Map 3). l'2'2' Cive the approximate tintes of the rainy and dry seasons and the monrlts covered by the fanning season. The climate of West Wellega is characterized by clistinct rainy ancl clry seasons. The major rain1, ss25.n months are from June to September with short rainy season from February to March. The mean annual rainfall varies from area to area ranging from g00 mm to 2000 mm. The mean annual temperature of the zone ranges from l0oc-30oc. Farming activities (clearing, farming, and herding) occur ail year round, but are most intensive during tlie rainy season. Harvesting occurs from November to January, leaving February - May as the optimum trcatment period. 1.2.3.

(A map nlay be usefut) The zone capital Gimbi is connected to 17 districts by all weather roacls while the three otherdistricts are only accessed during the dry season. All the CDTI districts selected are accessible by road all round the year. Two district, Dembidello and Begi are also linked by domestic aii transport service to Addis Ababa. All the districts have automatic and op"ruto, assisted telecommunication service and l0 of them have also postal Service stations. Road transportation is one of the wiclely used and most important mocle of transpoftation in the zone. The roads provide access to l7 districtcapitals, however most villages could be accessed only on foot or on pack animals while some villages could be reached by motorcycle. During the rainy season supervision and monitoring of CDTI may be difficllt due to flooding of rivers and roads. Thereiore, conducting Mectizan distribution during the dry season (February-May) is advisable.

In many production areas of Ethiopia up to 85% of the farmers and 35% of the total arable land were allotted for ginger production. However, this potential spices crop wiped out by a sudden outbreak of bacterial wilt epidemics in 2011 and 2012. A survey was conducted on the status of ginger bacterial wilt incidence in major growing areas of Ethiopia and laboratory work was done to identify the causal agent of ginger wilt. The diseases were found distributed in all ginger growing areas and the loss were estimated up to 100%. During 2012 survey season the wilt incidence percentage was recorded maximum (93.5) in Sheka zone followed by Benchmaji zone (91.6) and Majang zone (65.7) while the lowest wilt incidence was recorded in gamogofa zone (10.7). During 2014 survey season wilt incidence percentage was recorded maximum (98.9) in Benchmaji zone followed by Majang zone (98.8) and Sheka zone (97.4) while the lowest wilt incidence was recorded in Keffa zone (78.4). The syptomology and pathogenicity test confirmed the bacteria were R.

All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the Faculty. ABSTRACT Crop production is crucial information for food security analysis. Crop production is defined as a product of crop area (CA) and yield. Therefore, crop area should be estimated accurately to obtain reliable crop production information. Agricultural census contains accurate information about CA but it is costly, and it lacks appropriate temporal and spatial information for reliable frequent crop area estimate. Hyper-temporal remote sensing can capture the general agro-climatic conditions but it is too coarse spatially to capture variability in CA over fragmented landscapes.

Its population was estimated at 28,067,000 in mid July 2008 [2]; the largest population size of any region (35.4% of the country’s total population). The Oromo represent the majority ethnic group in Oromiya (85%), and in the country at large. Nearly 4 million are residents of urban areas with an urbanization rate of 13.8% - slightly below the national average. The percentage proportion of the Oromo has been estimated variously at 30% to 40% of the country’s total but the mid-way estimate above seems closer to the real proportion. Administratively, Oromiya is divided into 17 zones, 245 Weredas, and 36 town administrations with 6500 kebele subdivisions (see map below). There is an apparent unanimity among authors, that the Oromo had not been part of present-day Ethiopia’s settled landscape prior to the 1550s. In the absence of scientific research and accurate historical accounting of their beginnings, the Oromo have often been described as “migrants” who arrived in Ethiopia proper from its southern-most reaches in mid-16th century, and settled amicably among all groups whose lands they had “appropriated”. Other labels used in place of migration include invasion, plunder, onslaught, conquest, etc. The source below also described them as aliens, and characterized their historical role as destructive: “Oromo, settled in far southern Ethiopia, were an egalitarian pastoral people divided into a number of competing segments or groups but sharing a type of age-set system of social organization called the gada system, which was ideally suited for warfare.

Abstract A cross-sectional study was carried out from January up to March 2013 to determine the prevalence of bovine Trypanosomosis and apparent density of the tsetse flies and other biting flies in Sayonole district. The methods employed during the study were deploying trap for the collection of tsetse flies and buffy coat technique for parasitological study. About 43 traps were deployed for 48 hr for collection of tsetse fly. Among five species of tsetse flies commonly found in Ethiopia four of them G.m.submorsitans, G.pallidepes, G.f.fuscipes and G.tachinoides were captured in the study area.
