Determinants of Child Survival Chances in Rural Ethiopia Ermias Dessie Buli* Adama Science and Technology University, Adama, Ethiopia [email protected]
Proceedings 59th ISI World Statistics Congress, 25-30 August 2013, Hong Kong (Session CPS105) p.4571 Determinants of Child Survival Chances in Rural Ethiopia Ermias Dessie Buli* Adama Science and Technology University, Adama, Ethiopia [email protected] Abstract In a country like Ethiopia that has poor social conditions and more than 50% of its population illiterate and under the poverty line, the level of communicable diseases is found to be the highest magnitude (CIA World Fact book, 2009). So the importance of this study is to reveal the effect of socioeconomic, environmental, demographic and health related variables on child mortality in rural Ethiopia. The data set used originates from the demographic and health survey (DHS) conducted in Ethiopia 2005. The analysis was conducted using Cox proportional hazards model which analyses the effects of covariates on child mortality and other statistical methods. The study shows that source of drinking water, birth order number, sex of child, breast feeding status, wealth index of household, father’s education, mother’s education and family size have significant contribution on child mortality. Since educated parents have enough Knowledge on how to care their children, parents should be educated as well as mothers should be encouraged to breast feed their children. Furthermore, marriage at the right age is recommended and integrated child care and family planning programs are paramount. Government should improve society services like providing clean water which contributes to better children health status. Key Words: Child mortality, Cox proportional hazards model 1.

O.Box 489, Ethiopia Abstract This study reports the analysis of agricultural extension gap among four improved bread wheat varieties at Arsi Robe district, Arsi Zone, along with their management practices under farmers ’condition to enhance farmers’ knowledge and skill on bread wheat production. Four improved bread wheat varieties were used to demonstrate namely Honkolo,DEKA,Hidase(check) and Lemu. Honkolo variety had a 43.8% yield advantage over the standard check (Hidase), DEKA had a 16.4% yield advantage over the standard check (Hidase), and the variety Lemu had a negative -25.8% yield loss or below the standard check (Hidase) and it conclude that both Honkolo and DEKA varieties are the fi rst and second option for the farmers whereas the variety Lemu is not recommended due to low productivity in the study area and others areas having similar agro ecologies. The result of agricultural extension gap analysis showed that Honkolo variety had a -2.7q/ha yield increment or in other words Honkolo variety had achieved 104.3% of the potential at research fi eld and had a 4.3% yield advantage than the research fi eld. -

Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ethiopia
The annual value of small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) in Ethiopia amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars – dominated in rough order of value by fuelwood, herbal remedies, wild coffee, honey and beeswax and timber furniture. The majority of these enterprises are informal and remain Small and medium forest largely unregulated and untaxed by any government authority. Nevertheless these enterprises appear to have significant social and economic benefits. The Government of Ethiopia has responded by providing support, particularly through enterprises in Ethiopia the framework of Micro and Small Enterprises. The recent establishment of the Oromia State Forest Enterprises Supervising Agency and new policy declarations about the community’s stated role in forest management are clear indications of the current interest in forest resources and the roles they play in rural livelihoods. Non-governmental organisations have also been experimenting with Participatory Forest Management and offered training to emerging enterprises, particularly those engaged in non-timber forest products. Yet few associations have yet been established to try and access the more lucrative markets beyond the local setting. SMFEs have great potential to reduce poverty in Ethiopia, but in their present unregulated state also represent a threat to the country’s declining forest resources. This report consolidates information about them and suggests a practical way forward for those wishing to support them. IIED Small and Medium Forest Enterprise Series No. 26 ISBN -

Men’s field Stanley Biwott (KEN) will make his Bank of America Chicago Marathon debut as the seventh- fastest man in history over the marathon distance (2:03:51) and the 11th-fastest in history over the half marathon on a record-eligible course (58:56). Biwott made his mark in the Abbott World Marathon Majors with a victory at the 2015 TCS New York City Marathon, and with a standout performance at the 2016 London Marathon, finishing second to Eliud Kipchoge (KEN) in a career best, 2:03:51 (Biwott and Kipchoge share the 30K world record, 1:27:13, set during the London Marathon). Biwott has finished in the top five of 10 marathons. Feyisa Lilesa (ETH) gained international attention at the 2016 Rio Olympics when he finished the marathon with a silver medal. However, he initially made a name for himself in 2010 when, just two months after his 20th birthday, he became the youngest athlete to break 2:06 in the marathon with a 2:05:23 performance in Rotterdam. He has run well in Chicago, finishing third in 2010 and coming back in 2012 to chase Tsegaye Kebede (ETH) to the line for second place and a new personal best, 2:04:52.
