Benc’non belongs to the Omotic languages family. The name Omotic was derived from the Omo river. According to the 2007(1999 E.C) census the number of people speaking the Bench language is at least 400,000.The Bench people are said to have come from a place in southern Ethiopia called Gamo-Gofa, from where they migrated to the Kafa area and stayed in Goba Chara for a short period. After that they stayed in a place called Z’az’, currently in the She Bench Worada, and increased in number. The leader who called himself Shetet remained there, while the others moved on and split up. One leader called himself Mertet, another Benchtet. Their descendants are leaders up to this day. At present, the Bench population live in three Woradas (Shey Bench, Semen(North) Bench and Debub(South) Bench and mizan-aman town administration. There are also Benc’non speakers outside of these Woradas. Like other peoples the Bench people have specific customs for which they are known, such as customs pertaining to marriage, funerals, clothing, food, belief, work etc. Like other peoples the Bench people are agriculturalists. Among other crops they grow maize, coffee, cocoyam, iii teff. Likewise they breed livestock- like cows, sheep, goats,horses and poultry production. Rationale for the Dictionary This school dictionary was developed primarily to help Bench students better manage and understand instruction in English. In addition, this dictionary should provide a spelling reference for Bench students. As students are expected by grade five to be able to learn with English as the medium of instruction, research was done into what English words and language is expected from a grade five student. The results of this research created the foundation for the content of this book. The dictionary contains 3365 entries. While this is a substantial amount, it is not by any means an exhaustive list. Although this school dictionary should prove to be helpful for many people, the target readers in developing this book was for children in grade five. The order of this school dictionary is English – Benc’non – Amharic. In this section the user of the dictionary must use the English term to conduct their search. This approach was taken because the target audience for this book is grade 5 children. Grade five instruction and textbooks are in English. As such, students will most likely encounter English words which they have learned in Benc’non classes but have not yet encountered in English. This dictionary is a key tool in providing students with the necessary information to fill this language gap. This section was placed first in iv this publication because it is anticipated that this will be the greater need for grade five children. Following the dictionary and word finders list there is some additional information provided to give guidance on how to write the Bench language. These sections address spelling, grammar, punctuation and tone. These are included as a reference for beginning and emerging writers. When compared to languages such as English or Amharic, Bench does not have a long written history. As a result, spellings and what word should be used for some terms may cause debate. As this school dictionary is considered a trial edition, debate over such points should be seen as a positive exercise in the further development of the Bench language. Although contents of the dictionary are the result of a collaborative effort and has been checked over by many people, a test or trial of the book must be done before it can become a first edition school dictionary. The test of this dictionary comes through use by the larger Bench community. Therefore, should there be a question as to the spelling or use of certain terms used, the reader should keep in mind that this is a trial and revision will need to take place. v Acknowledgment This school dictionary has been made possible through the effort of many people. As the focus for this dictionary is to help grade five students, the initial data for the dictionary was acquired by examining grade five textbooks and syllabi (Arts, English, Science, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Physical Education). This preliminary data was collected in English and translated in Amharic by SIL Benishangul Gumuz Project. SIL Benishangul Gumuz Project also done the work of selecting and inserting relevant illustrations obtained from SIL international. In addition a training was conducted by Sussan Neudorf on how to use soft ware for Benc'non, Sheko, Meen and Dizi Dictionaries. The Benc'non translation was initially conducted by a Benc'non mother tongue book writer: Tekle Gizaw This work was also evaluated and edited through a workshop of Bench elites from Shey-Bench, Semen(North) Bench and Debub(South) Bench Woredas, Benc'non Maji Zone Education Department, Benc'non Maji Zone Culture and Informatiom Department and SIL BMZP Material Production Unit experts. Those who contributed in evaluaing the draft are Melkamu Meshesha, Alemayehu Wona, Almaz Alemgena, Ambel Faris, Girma Gelaye, Habtamu ii Komtikes, Mathewos Abraham, Mathewos Gira, Mitiku Mohammed, Tafese Setegn, Wossa Daka, Abebe Yirgashewa and Mestie Mekonnen. Following the evaluation and editing process there was tremendous effort done to check the entire work by Tekle Gizaw and Melkamu Meshesha. The work of inserting additional illustrations was done by Tekle Gizaw. The technical work of layout and finalizing the publication for print was completed by Andreas Joswig. The section entitled ‘Benc'non Spelling and Grammar’ was made possible because of the extensive linguistic study conducted by Christian Rapold. Finally this volume has been made possible because of the partnership of the SNNPRS Education Bureau, Bench Maji Zone Education Department with SIL Ethiopia. Without the support, interest and encouragement of these sectors, this dictionary could not be made possible. The completion of this school dictionary is a demonstration of the strength found in cooperative effort. Each contribution has been integral to reaching this achievement. As such, all of the above mentioned parties deserve thanks and credit. 3 How to use this Dictionary Alphabetical Order of English The entries in the English – Benc’non - Amharic section of the dictionary are listed in the alphabetical order of the letter in the English Alphabet.

  • Study of Indigenous Chicken Production System in Bench Maji
    Global Journal of Science Frontier Research: D Agriculture and Veterinary Volume 16 Issue 2 Version 1.0 Year 2016 Type : Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4626 & Print ISSN: 0975-5896 Study of Indigenous Chicken Production System in Bench Maji Zone, South Western Ethiopia By Getachew Bekele, Kefelegn Kebede & Negassi Ameha Gambella University, Ethiopia Abstract- Indigenous chickens in Ethiopia are found in huge numbers distributed across different agro ecological zones under a traditional family-based scavenging management system. This indicates that, they are highly important farm animals kept as a source of animal protein and income to most of the rural populations. Religions and cultural considerations are also amongst the reasons for keeping chickens by resource poor farmers in Africa. Similarly, households in Ethiopia keep birds for household consumption, sale and reproduction purposes including other social and cultural roles. Ethiopia, with its wide variations in agro-climatic conditions, possesses one of the largest and the most diverse plant and animal genetic resources in the world. Therefore, this study was conducted from September 2013 to May 2014 in nine selected kebeles and South bench Woreda’s located in Bench Maji Zone of South western of Ethiopia with the objective to describe indigenous chicken husbandry practices and production system.

Received 15 February, 2016; Accepted 6 April, 2016 A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence of cattle trypanosomosis and assess the distribution of its vectors in Gimbo and Guraferda districts of Kaffa and Bench Maji zones, respectively, in Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Regional State (SNNPRS), Ethiopia from November 2011 to March 2012. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 490 local zebu cattle from purposively selected three peasant associations in Gimbo and four peasant associations in Gurafereda districts. Blood samples were examined for trypanosmes by the buffy coat technique (BCT) after determining the packed cell volume (PCV) and traps were employed for collection of tsetse. The overall prevalence of cattle trypansomosis was 14.5%. The prevalence varied between the two districts, that is, Gimbo (9.2%) and Guraferda (19.6%). Trypanosoma congolense was the predominant species in the area (62%) followed by T. vivax (28.2%). Statistically significant (P<0.05) difference was observed in infection rate for the different trypanosome species, and in prevalence among animals of different body condition scores (p<0.001).

  • Utilization of Institutional Delivery Service and Associated Factors In
    Tadele and Lamaro BMC Health Services Research (2017) 17:101 DOI 10.1186/s12913-017-2057-y RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Utilization of institutional delivery service and associated factors in Bench Maji zone, Southwest Ethiopia: community based, cross sectional study Niguse Tadele* and Tafesse Lamaro Abstract Background: At the end of Millennium development goals, Ethiopia was included among 10 countries which constitutes about 59% of maternal deaths due to complications of pregnancy and/or childbirth every year globally. Institutional delivery, which is believed to contribute in reduction of maternal mortality is still low. Hence this study was conducted in order to assess utilization of institutional delivery and related factors in Bench Maji zone, Southwest Ethiopia. Methods: Cross sectional study was employed from September 1st – 30th, 2015 in Bench Maji Zone, Southwest Ethiopia where 765 mothers who deliver 2 years preceding the study provided data for this research. Data were collected by enumerators who were trained. In addition to descriptive statistics, binary and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Statistical significance was considered at a p-value < 0.05. Strength of association was also assessed using odds ratios with a 95% confidence intervals. Results: About 800 mothers were approached but 765 of them who gave birth 2 years preceding the survey participated and gave consent to the data included in the analysis. About 78.30% delivered their last child in health institution while rest gave birth at home. Factors such as maternal age, religion, occupation, availability of information source as TV/Radio, income quartile, residence, knowledge of problems during labor and antenatal follow up had association with institutional delivery which was significant.
