  • The Reactions of Limmu Oromo of Western Ethiopia During and After the Italian Occupation (1936-41)

During the Italian Occupation, Limmu was the administrative center of the Italians for the Oromo of Western Anger River. Surprisingly, Limmu Oromo during the Italian occupation (1936-41) fought both the Italians and the naftañä settlers. According to genuine sources, during Italian Occupation (1936-1941) the naftañä-gabär system was removed in the study area. Accordingly, the most important event of this period was that the Limmu Oromo were librated from the naftañä rule by their leader, Fitawurari Duguma Jaldeso. Relatively speaking, according to many written materials and oral sources, the Italian administration was better than the former administration system in Limmu. The Italian Occupation was a land mark in the history of the gabärs in the surrounding region in general and that of Limmu in particular. Soon after they stationed at Ayana (the capital of Gidda-Kiramu Woreda), the Italian military station for the areas between the Abay and Angar, Italians successfully abolished the gabär system in the area.

IFPRI is one of 15 agricultural research centers that receive principal funding from governments, private foundations, and international and regional organizations, most of which are members of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). RESEARCH FOR ETHIOPIA’S AGRICULTURE POLICY (REAP): ANALYTICAL SUPPORT FOR THE AGRICULTURAL TRANSFORMATION AGENCY (ATA) IFPRI gratefully acknowledges the generous financial support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) for IFPRI REAP, a five-year project to support the Ethiopian ATA. The ATA is an innovative quasi-governmental agency with the mandate to test and evaluate various technological and institutional interventions to raise agricultural productivity, enhance market efficiency, and improve food security. REAP will support the ATA by providing research-based analysis, tracking progress, supporting strategic decision making, and documenting best practices as a global public good.

  • Poverty Situations in the Case of Amuru Woreda, Horro Guduru Wolegga Zone, Oromia Regional State
    Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1700 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2855 (Online) Vol.9, No.7, 2018 Poverty Situations in the Case of Amuru Woreda, Horro Guduru Wolegga Zone, Oromia Regional State Tegegne Alemayehu Beyene College of Business and Economic, Woliata Sodo University, P.O.box 138 Ethiopia, Sodo Abstract Over 80% of the Ethiopian people live in the rural areas and agriculture is the main stay of the economy as it commands the lion’s share in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment opportunities, export earnings and supply of raw materials. This study aims to examine the poverty situations in the case of Amuru woreda, Horro Guduru Wolegga Zone, Oromia Regional state. Poverty is manifested in low per capita income, low literacy rate, low primary school enrollment ratio, limited access to health services, safe water and sanitation facilities, high rate of infant, child and maternal mortality as well as short life expectancy. Employing cross sectional design, this research was undertaken on a random sample of 163 households so as to study rural poverty situation and its determinants in Amuru woreda. Cost of Basic Needs approach and Foster, Greer and Thorbecke measures have been employed to set the poverty line and compute the magnitude of rural poverty. Accordingly, the food and total poverty lines were found to be Birr 6168.24 and 7960.04/adult/annum respectively. Accounting for over 77.5 percent, food takes the lion’s share in the consumption expenditure of the poor and occupied substantial amount in the estimated poverty line.
