  • Livelihoods and Land Use Change in Highland Ethiopia
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kathleen Guillozet for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Forest Resources presented on August 8, 2011. Title: Livelihoods and Land Use Change in Highland Ethiopia Abstract approved: ________________________________________________________________ John C. Bliss Abstract: This dissertation investigates livelihood and land use change dynamics in a community at the farm-forest periphery in highland Ethiopia. I use interviews and livelihood assessment data to compare the strategies used by members of different wealth groups to negotiate and maintain access to forest resources, and integrate socioeconomic, bio-physical and spatially explicit data to examine changing land use and household vulnerability. This approach sheds new light on scalar aspects of poverty-environment relationships with implications for environmental justice and rural development policy. Chapter one provides an overview of the context and approach to this research. Chapter two illustrates the importance of scale in understanding household vulnerability. It uses diverse data to describe political, historic, biophysical and economic factors that shape vulnerability. Chapter three describes household livelihoods and increasing foreign investment pressure in Ethiopia’s natural forests, with an emphasis on the history of forest management and access in the study site. It describes processes of forest boundary making and conflict in the study area. Chapter four outlines two scenarios to describe the amount of agricultural land required to replace forest incomes in the community under study. These scenarios, termed “fuelwood replacement” and “fuelwood replacement with agricultural intensification,” use agricultural land as a proxy for fuelwood incomes, retaining the connection to physical space that is inherent to natural resources, rather than presenting abstracted monetary values that disassociate resources from power and access dynamics.

  • Appeals 5Th September 2016 Drought
    Appeal Ethiopia Response to El Nino-Caused Drought Emergency - ETH161, Revision 1 Appeal Target: USD 3,865,774 Balance Requested: USD 2,844,395 Geneva, 5 September 2016 Dear Colleagues, The ETH161 Appeal has been both extended (for 5 additional months) and revised, for the following reasons: late receipt of funds, underfunding of some components and challenges and delays in implementation, including massive coordination effort and heavy bureaucratic process to get permission to respond to particular geographic area, which didn’t stop requesting members to prioritize the limited resource received and take action to respond. The current food insecurity crisis/drought in Ethiopia appear to be the result of a combination of factors that includes the pre El Nino failure of the spring rains and the El Nino induced late onset, erratic and early cessation of the main summer rains. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), more than 10 million people in Ethiopia are at risk of hunger following the worst drought in 30 years. The Ethiopian Government says more than 400 rural districts (Woredas) are affected and 10.2 million people, including nearly 6 million children (among which 0.4 million severely acute malnourished and 1.7 million moderately acute malnourished), will require urgent food assistance programmes among other interventions in January 2016 due to drought. It was also reported that the drought caused the death of over 400 thousand livestock and displacement of 0.8 million people. It is estimated that the country will need 1.4 billion USD to respond to the emergency.

  • Climate Change Impact on Livelihood, Vulnerability and Coping Mechanisms: a Case Study of WestArsi Zone, Ethiopia
    Climate Change Impact on Livelihood, Vulnerability and Coping Mechanisms: A Case Study of West-Arsi Zone, Ethiopia MSc. Thesis Submitted to Lund University Masters Program in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science (LUMES) Research Advisor: Johanna Alkan Olsson (PhD) By: Abate Feyissa Senbeta LUCSUS, Lund University SE-22644, Lund, Sweden [email protected] [email protected] May, 2009 Abstract Agriculture is one of the sectors most vulnerable to climate change impact. The impact is even stronger in Africa, where agriculture is truly important for the daily subsistence, and where adaptive capacity is low. Therefore, it is crucial to increase the understanding of the actual climate change dynamics on agricultural activities and on the societies at the lower levels. This study uses the West-Arsi zone in Ethiopia, as a case study and examines the local climatic trends and its impacts on the livelihood in the region. It also answers the questions who is more vulnerable and why, what are the local and institutional coping mechanisms, and what are the constraints that exacerbate vulnerability. The study uses semi-structured interview to garner data from local society, government officials and experts, and secondary data from published and unpublished sources, and systematically analyzes this material both using qualitative and quantitative analysis. The result shows that the trend of gradual and extreme weather change is particularly negative for the livelihood of mid and lowlands of the West-Arsi zone in Ethiopia, but has a positive role in some places where agriculture was constrained by low temperature. On the other hand, drought, rain delay, erratic precipitation, and heavy and unseasonal rain are challenges to the livelihood of the whole region.

Read Full License Page 1/12 Abstract Background: Measles is a leading vaccine-preventable childhood disease, which has been designated for elimination. Despite the success of measles control, measles is still responsible for 145,700 deaths worldwide each year, with many of the outbreaks in developing countries including Ethiopia. We analyzed to characterize the epidemiology of measles and recommend better prevention and control strategies in West Arsi Zone, Ethiopia. Methods: Data from 2011–2015 from the Public Health Emergency Management Unit of the West Arsi Zonal Health Department database were obtained using a semi-standard checklist. We analyzed and described the data by person, place, and time. Results: We identied 1735 cases of measles between 2011- 2015. The annual average measles incidence rate during 2011-2014 was 3.4/100,000 while the incidence rate in 2015 was 14/100,000. During 2011-2015, most of the cases occurred in children age less than 15 years old (87%), and 33 % were under ve. Measles cases were reported every month, and March had the highest number of cases (24%).
