The assessment also analyzed legal assistance needs, as well as the potential for peace-building and social cohesion. A total of 78,257HHs (508,671 individuals) with an average family size of 6.5/HH were severely exposed to multiple socio-economic crises due to the conflict. Following the Government’s initiated return process based on the alleged improved safety and security situation (assessed by the Government) in May 2019, according to the Government, the majority of the IDPs were returned to their places of habitual residence 1.

Vol. 63 No. 2 2019 Original Article POLLEN ANALYSIS OF HONEY FROM BORANA ZONE OF SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA Tura Bareke* Admassu Addi Oromia Agricultural Research Institute, Ethiopia *corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 22 August 2018; accepted: 28 August 2019 Abstract Nineteen samples of honey were collected from different localities of the Borana Zone and examined to identify the botanical origin of honey through honey pollen analysis. From nineteen honey samples, sixteen were identified as monofloral honeys. Twenty- eight plant species were identified as honey source plants and the identified plant spe- cies belonged to fourteen plant families. Out of twenty-eight bee plant species, 17.9% of them were found in the Fabaceae family followed by Asteraceae and Lamiaceae, each of them accounting for 14.3% of all honey plants species found in the samples. The Shan- non-Wiener diversity index (H) showed that high diversity of plant species was found in eleven honey samples with a range of 1.07 (Bule Hora site 1) to 1.81 (Yabello site 2) on the basis of honey pollen analysis. Eight honey samples had lower diversity index values, ranging from 0 (Arero site 2 and Bule Hora site 3) to 0.84 (Gelana site1), which suggests the honey was obtained from a few dominant plant species. Accordingly, Guizotia scabra, Haplocoelum foliolosum, Plectranthus assurgens, Terminalia brownii, Sesamum indicum, Satureja paradoxa, Croton macrostachyus and Acacia brevispica were the major monoflo- ral honeys produced from the area. This indicates that there is a huge potential for the production of monofloral honey.

  • ETHIOPIA Humanitarian Access Situation Report April 2019
    ETHIOPIA Humanitarian Access Situation Report April 2019 This report is produced by OCHA Ethiopia in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It covers the period from 1 to 30 April 2019. The next report will be issued on or around 01 June 2019. OVERVIEW The overall operational environment to humanitarian operations in Ethiopia remains permissive. Localized hostilities between the Ethiopian Defense Forces (EDF) and Unidentified Armed Groups (UAGs) as well as between different ethnic groups along regional boundary areas continue to hamper consistent humanitarian access. Most access incidents reported by partners in April are related to armed clashes, localized insecurity, and inter- communal conflict, whereby pocket areas of inaccessibility can affect thousands of people in need. The National Flood Taskforce issued a flood alert in belg-receiving areas of the country and river flows caused by highland rains. Over 5,600 people were displaced by floods in Selti woreda, Selte zone (SNNP region). Physical access was also impeded in Somali region as a result of poor road conditions and seasonal rivers becoming impassable, particularly in Dollo Ado road to Liban Source: Access Incidents database The boundaries and names shown and the designations used on this map do not imply official zone. endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations. Humanitarian partners in Ethiopia are not a target. However, this could change as REPORTED ACCESS INCIDENTS REPORTED ACCESS INCIDENTS frustration is growing among the affected BY REGION BY TYPE population given the scale of the needs and the challenges in the response. Partners need to allocate appropriate resources in communicating with communities and ensuring their activities are adhered to the humanitarian principles of operational independence, neutrality and impartiality.

  • Extended Dry Season in Borena Zone1 – 29 February 2008
    United Nations Nations Unies Office for the Coordination of Bureau de Coordination des Affaires Humanitarian Affairs in Ethiopia Humanitaires au Ethiopie Website: Website: http://ochaonline.un.org/ethiopia http://ochaonline.un.org/ethiopia SITUATION REPORT: EXTENDED DRY SEASON IN BORENA ZONE1 – 29 FEBRUARY 2008 The situation in Borena zone with regard to animal health, food security and water for human and animal consumption is deteriorating on a daily basis. The extended dry season follows insufficient rainfall during the hagaya rain (October-December) and conditions have been exacerbated by overstocking of livestock and encroachment of land by farms and bush trees. Coping mechanisms are stretched to breaking point and pastoralist communities, children, the elderly and people living with HIV/AIDS are particularly vulnerable to livelihood and health risks. While conditions in Borena do not currently fall under classification of a full scale drought there is a risk that poor performance of the upcoming ganna rains will have a serious impact upon human health, animal welfare and livelihoods in the region. Prompt and coordinated intervention by government and humanitarian partners could limit the impact upon human life, health and livelihoods in the region. Priority needs are water for human and livestock consumption, animal feed provision to mother cows and calves and animal health services. Specific programmatic 1 This situation report is based on information gathered from a variety of sources including; UN agencies, NGO and government
