  • The Development Study on the Improvement of Livelihood Through Integrated Watershed Management in Amhara Region
    Food Security Coordination & Disaster Prevention Office Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Development The Government of Amhara National Regional State The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia THE DEVELOPMENT STUDY ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF LIVELIHOOD THROUGH INTEGRATED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT IN AMHARA REGION FINAL REPORT March 2011 Japan International Cooperation Agency SANYU CONSULTANTS INC. ETO JR 11-002 Location map Location Map of the Study Area FINAL REPORT Summary 1. INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY Amhara National Regional State (ANRS) located in the northern part of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has the area of about 154 thousand sq. km. accounting for around 15% of the territory of the nation where about 17.9 million (or about 25% of the national population) are inhabited. In the ANRS, 6.3 million people are considered as food insecure. In particular, the eastern area of Amhara Region has been exposed to recurrent drought for past 3 decades, thus considered as the most suffering area from food shortage. Under such circumstances, the Federal Government of Ethiopia requested cooperation of Japan for “The Development Study on the Improvement of Livelihood through Integrated Watershed Management in Amhara Region”. Based on this request, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) dispatched a preparatory study team to Ethiopia in March 2007 and agreed the basic contents of Scope of Work (S/W) that were signed between the ANRS Government and JICA in the same month. Under such background, JICA dispatched a Study Team to the ANRS from March 2008 to conduct the Study as described in the S/W. The overall goal of the Study is to ensure food security of the vulnerable households in food insecure area of Amhara Region through implementation of integrated watershed management.

  • Determinants of Household Saving in Ethiopia: a Case of North Gondar Zone, Amhara Regional State
    International Journal of Development and Economic Sustainability Vol.2, No.4, pp.37-49, October 2014 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) DETERMINANTS OF HOUSEHOLD SAVING IN ETHIOPIA: A CASE OF NORTH GONDAR ZONE, AMHARA REGIONAL STATE Tsega Hagos Mirach1* and Yemane Michael Hailu2 1Lecturer in Economics, School of Economics, College of Business and Economics, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia 2 PhD Candidate at Addis Ababa University, College of Business and Economics, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia *Corresponding author: Email: - [email protected]; Tele. +251-911090010 P.O.Box: 1369, Gondar, Ethiopia ABSTRACT: Development economics have for several decades recognized the importance of the mobilization of domestic savings for economic growth in developing countries. However, saving level in Ethiopia is very low and little is known empirically about its patterns and determinants. Therefore, this study attempts to identify and analyze the main determinants of household saving in Ethiopia giving special emphasis to North Gondar zone on three selected districts i.e. Gondar, Dembia and Dabat using survey data collected from 604 sample households in August 2013. The results of the descriptive analyses shows that 54.1% of sample households practiced saving and the common reasons for households not to save are low income, inflation, low interest rate, cultural background, education, social affairs and unemployment. The planning and expenditure controlling habit of most respondents was also found minimal. Besides, the economic analyses shows that income, age, sex, marital status, forms of institutions used for saving and frequency of getting money are significant determinants of household savings in the study area.

    RIJS Volume 4, Issue 8 (August, 2015) ISSN: 2250 – 3994 A Journal of Radix International Educational and Research Consortium RIJS RADIX INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN SOCIAL SCIENCE THE DETERMINANT FACTORS FOR INTERNAL MIGRATION IN RURAL AREAS OF NORTH GONDAR: THE CASE OF DABAT DISTRICT PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR KIBROM ADINO (MA) CO-INVESTIGATORS HAIMANOT ATINKUT SISAY YEHUALA TIGIST PETROS ABSTRACT In most studies emphasis has been given to international migration. This clearly strikes a chord to have emphasis for internal migration as equally important as that of International Migration. Hence in recognition to these facts, this study mainly aimed at investigating the patterns of migration and major determinants of internal migration in north Gondar woredas particularly of dabat district. To do so the study employed both descriptive and econometrics analysis tools to analyze the data. The result of the study firstly, revealed that the study area is characterized by temporary and seasonal migration. Secondly, the main determinant forces for households’ internal migration decision were crop failure, large family size, being female household bread maker, and lack of alternative income sources as push factors. On the other hand, household head positions, number of educated family member were as pull factor for internal migration decision in the study area. Moreover, poor infrastructure reflected in long distance walk to the main market and main road found to negatively affect internal migration decision. Keywords: Internal Migration, Determinants, Econometrics model 1.INTRODUCTION In Ethiopia at different times in history, migration studies have been touched the various parts of its tilt. In the past it has been linked with political issues due to the prevalence of political crisis in the history of the country.

  • Language Specific Peculiarities Document for AMHARIC As Spoken in ETHIOPIA
    Language Specific Peculiarities Document for AMHARIC as Spoken in ETHIOPIA 1. Special handling of dialects According to Leyew (2007), Amharic, natively Amarɨňňa,1 has five regional dialects, centered around the provinces of Gondar, Gojjam, Wollo (Wello, Wällo), Shewa (Shoa, Šewa) and Addis Ababa (Addis Abäba) respectively.2 With the exception of the dialect of Addis Ababa, all are spoken in the Amhara Region. The Addis Ababa dialect, which is spoken in Ethiopia’s federal capital, is widely accepted to represent the standard dialect (Hayward & Hayward, 1999). Amharic belongs to the Transversal sub-branch of South Ethiopian languages. It is closely related to the endangered Argobba language (with which it forms a group), which it is gradually displacing. The South Ethiopian languages are themselves an offshoot of the south Semitic subfamily of the Semitic language family, other members of which include Arabic and Hebrew, a main branch of the Afroasiatic language family. Amharic is the official national language of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) as well as the working language of several sub-federal administrative divisions. These include the Chartered Cities of Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa and four of Ethiopia’s nine federated regions (or ‘Regional States’): Amhara, Benshangul–Gumaz, Gambela, and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Region (SNNPR). Amharic is spoken natively by the Amhara people. According to the Ethiopian Central Statistical Agency Population and Housing Census Report — Country (2007), this represents some 20 million people (p. 73). Nonetheless, as the national language in a highly linguistically diverse nation, Amharic is spoken by many non-Amhara proficiently as a second language.
