Report on IDP Verification Assessment in East Hararghe Zone of Oromia Region and Dire Dawa Town Report on IDP Verification Assessment in East Hararghe zone of Oromia Region and Dire Dawa Town Partners Involved: IOM, IRC, CARE and Zonal/Woreda Representatives Date of Assessment: 2-7 October 2017 Page 1 IDP verification assessment in East Hararghe zone and Dire Dawa 1. Background East Hararghe zone is one of the 20 zones of Oromiya region, the zone is located to the Eastern part of the region with a total population 3,493,680.The zone is divided in to 20 woredas of which the inhabitants in 5 of them are pastoralist mainly 100% lowlands and the remaining 9 woredas also have lowland kebeles with mixed farming (agrarian and livestock). East Hararghe zone share zonal as well as regional boundaries with Harari Regional state, Somali Regional state and Diredawa city council. Among these boundaries, the zone shares very long boundary covering about 1410 km with the Somali Regional state. Among the 20 woredas, 9 (Chinaksen, Gusum, Babile,Midhega Tola, Meyu, Kumbi, Goro Gutu, Metta and Jarso) share boundaries with Somali region. 2. The current disasters in the zone East Hararghe zone is recurrently affected by drought with its major impacts on food and livelihood security of the community, water and pasture for livestock. During the drought years, competition over resources is very common among communities within the zone and across the areas bordering with the Somali region. In most cases, such competition leads to conflicts which normally last for short period and is solved as per the existing cultural methods of conflict resolution mechanism mainly lead by the community elders from both community. Unlike the conflicts happening in the past time, the recent conflict that started on 22 September 2017 has resulted in loss of life, loss and destruction of properties and mass displacement. In addition, it has separated families and family members resulting to trauma and psychosocial issues. The conflict is related to border issues, which led to removal of most Oromos from Somali region particularly from the towns of Jijiga, Kebribeya,Tulu Guled, Wuchale, Bike and Erer as well as deportation from Hargessa town in Somaliland. 3. Origin of the IDPs In early September 176 HHs (880 people) were displaced from Tullu Guled woreda of Fafan zone of Somali region to Jarso woreda and settled in Anano Mite Kebele. Following the September 2017 conflict on the border, quite a large number of people were displaced from Somali region ( Jijiga, Kebribeyah, Togocale, Tuluguled Bike and Erer). Additional Oromo community members were deported from Somali Land (Hargeessa and Berbara area). 4. Date of displacement Following the border conflict between Somali and Oromo communities, the flow of the IDPs started on September 22, 2017 at 11:30 AM and continued with Oromo people arriving in different displacement sites. 5. Number of people affected by the disaster and field observation to IDP sites: A total of 20,309 HHs and total population of 72,861 displaced persons relocated to East Hararghe zone in two rounds, first round 67,803 people arrived and second round 5,058. In addition, a total of 12,431 IDPs were sent to other zones of Oromia. (Please see Annex -1 for IDPs location and number) Page 2 During the mission, the team visited three IDP sites in Diredawa and four sites in East Hararghe zone (Fedis, Gursum, Babile and Harar town/Hamaressa). The methodology employed were discussion with woreda officials, observation of the IDP situation, interviewing selected IDPs including women, men and IDP committees. This methodology was used to gather information and verify information provided on the situation by zonal and woreda level authorities. 5.1. IDPs residing in woredas of East Hararghe zone Report from E/Hararghe zonal DRMC shows government has started to provide food and non-food items with support from regional/federal government, ERCS/ICRC, community and private groups. Considering the number of IDPs, the assessment team has visited two of the woredas hosting IDPs in the zone, Fedis and Gursum. 5.1.1. Fedis woreda: As per the woreda officials, the provided support so far are limited in terms of quantity and variety to address the need of displaced individuals and family members. They have also mentioned as an example some of the items they received such as 150 pcs of cooking pots are kept at warehouse level with challenge to prioritize and distribute the limited number of items. IDPs in Negaya Bobasa kebele of Fedis woreda Currently, Fedis woreda is hosting up to 7,421 displaced individuals who returned from Jijga, wuchale and Fafan areas in Somali region with nothing other than the clothes they are wearing. In the absence of other clothes, they reported that they urgently need clothing and soap, food, full ES/NFI kits; and dignity kit items for the women and girls. There are many infants with a few delivered after the displacement and therefore a need for diapers. In one of the kebele the team visited the IDPs are hosted in teachers and development agent houses. In this house the IDPs do not have cooking materials and are living in worse Page 3 condition. Mainly With serious food gap, lack of shelter and non-food items, some of the children were also observed to have signs of malnutrition. “Our life is fully dependent on the community who are hosting us, they are sharing with us what we want including clothing, cooking items, water container. But we are returning the items as they also want for their day to day activities, hence the sharing is now and then. We are in difficult situation, we had nothing except food”. A mother of 4 children among the IDPs living in Negaya Bobasa kebele The team learnt from discussion with zonal officials that even though there is ongoing support to IDPs, the resource are limited and the situation in other woredas hosting displaced persons from Somali region, who are living in similar condition and in serious need of basic humanitarian service. The zonal DRMC and Fedis woreda officials have encouraged the use of cash based intervention to provide support to the displaced persons as it feasible especially for the IDPs to procure clothing and other household non-food items. 5.1.2. IDP sites in Gursum woreda Gursum woreda is one of the woredas hosting high number of IDPs from Somali region. As in other woredas the IDPs started arriving Gursum in the third week of September 2017. According to head of the woreda DRMO, there are 642 HHs (1942 people, 918 F and 1024 Male) are in the woreda. The number of the IDPs decreased from the initial record as some of them left the area willingly to unify with their relative in different parts of the region, for those the woreda has covered transportation and other expenses by providing 400 to 600 ETB depending the distance of the location they wanted to travel. And the influx of the IDPs continued and still an average of 20 to 50 people arriving on daily basis. Majority of the IDPs are located in Oda Negeya and Maiwa kebeles, and the rest are located in various kebeles. According to the woreda, it is due to lack of support and lack of capacity to provide food and other nonfood items that the IDPs are located in different kebeles. Except food items, the IDPs had no support at all from the woreda, some interviewed IDPs indicated that the hosting community is providing shelter and other utensils temporarily. “I am living in one of the resident house for three weeks since I arrived with 6 of my children, but this days they want us to leave their house. I appreciate their support they did a lot for me and my children. Now I am worried of where to go and what to feed my children, we have no shelter, no food and no cooking items. Living a life with full of stress”. A mother of 6 children The assessment team observed that most of the IDPs are living in the host community house, in government buildings, and some men also reported nowhere to go. 5.1.3. IDP sites in Babile woreda In Babile woreda around 1,145 households are displaced here from Somali region starting in September 2017. The number of individuals displaced and coming to the woreda did not stop. The IDPs are received in kebele administration building. And most of the IDPs have been moved to join their host community in both rural and Babile town. However, there are still 91 individuals or 32 households living in government Page 4 owned kebele admisntration center as they do not have relatives and family members and have nowhere to go. All of those who have been returned have reported needs of emergency shelter and non-food items. 5.1.4. IDPs in Harar town: For those IDPs in Harar town warehouse, according to East Hararghe zonal DRMC, support has been provided for 950 HHs or 3,520 people (1894 M, 1626 F) by different partners including NGOs, IDP hosting communities, Harari Regional State and others in coordination with government. IDPs using plastic bottle as cup and washing clothes on floor by using plastic bags As per the assessment team observation, the situation in the Harar Warehouse – with a total of 3400 people who are crowded in a small space could deteriorate further. They currently have access to two shared latrines and no place for bathing and/or cleaning the few clothing currently owned by the IDPs. There are both households and individuals displaced into this location. Just like Diredawa sites, the people are under armed guard and cannot leave the warehouse which is also leading to increased frustration.

    land Article Effect of Land Use and Land Cover Change on Soil Erosion in Erer Sub-Basin, Northeast Wabi Shebelle Basin, Ethiopia Gezahegn Weldu Woldemariam 1,* and Arus Edo Harka 2 1 Geoinformation Science Program, School of Geography and Environmental Studies, Haramaya University, P.O. Box 138, 3220 Dire Dawa, Ethiopia 2 Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering Department, School of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering, Haramaya Institute of Technology (HiT), Haramaya University, P.O. Box 138, 3220 Dire Dawa, Ethiopia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +251-091-096-1491 Received: 1 July 2019; Accepted: 10 August 2019; Published: 5 April 2020 Abstract: Land use and land cover change (LULCC) is a critical factor for enhancing the soil erosion risk and land degradation process in the Wabi Shebelle Basin. Up-to-date spatial and statistical data on basin-wide erosion rates can provide an important basis for planning and conservation of soil and water ecosystems. The objectives of this study were to examine the magnitude of LULCC and consequent changes in the spatial extent of soil erosion risk, and identify priority areas for Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) in the Erer Sub-Basin, Wabi Shebelle Basin, Ethiopia. The soil loss rates were estimated using an empirical prediction model of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) outlined in the ArcGIS environment. The estimated total annual actual soil loss at the sub-basin level was 1.01 million tons in 2000 and 1.52 million tons in 2018 with a mean erosion rate of 1 1 1 1 75.85 t ha− y− and 107.07 t ha− y− , respectively.

    Journal of Culture, Society and Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8400 An International Peer-reviewed Journal DOI: 10.7176/JCSD Vol.48, 2019 The Role of Mirriiysaa: Function in Focus Sebsibe Getahun Department of Afan Oromo and Literature, Dire Dawa University, Ethiopia Abstract The objective of this study is to analyze the role of Mirriiysaa (Mirriga) in socio-political context. To achieve this goal, an attempt was made in collecting poems of Mirriiysaa that depict the socio- political function. The two instruments of data collection were an open-ended interview and complete observation. All the collected data were translated into English and analyzed functionally. The study shows that Mirriiysaa is sung for different functions in Hararge Oromo. Because, these people use Mirriiysaa to express their social, political, economical and cultural issues, besides instructing each other about their political, economical and social life. The same clan does not sing Mirriiysaa to one another. Mostly this song is sung by elders. But sometimes also it is sung by women and youths. But youths do not sing with elders. Youths from the same clan cannot sing Mirriiysaa together. But from different clan they can sing together. Elders from the same clan also cannot sing with each other. But from different clan they also can sing together. Mirriiysaa is sung mostly at morning time. Sometimes it is sung at evening and at the afternoon. When playing this song, elder singers have in their hands a cultural material called ‘Alangaa’ (a whip). Hararge people reflect their social and political codes through their oral narratives which the Mirriiysaa (Mirriga) is amongst.

  • Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group
    DRMTechnical Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group Covering 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2016 Prepared by Clusters and NDRMC Introduction The El Niño global climactic event significantly affected the 2015 meher/summer rains on the heels of failed belg/ spring rains in 2015, driving food insecurity, malnutrition and serious water shortages in many parts of the country. The Government and humanitarian partners issued a joint 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) in December 2015 requesting US$1.4 billion to assist 10.2 million people with food, health and nutrition, water, agriculture, shelter and non-food items, protection and emergency education responses. Following the delay and erratic performance of the belg/spring rains in 2016, a Prioritization Statement was issued in May 2016 with updated humanitarian requirements in nutrition (MAM), agriculture, shelter and non-food items and education.The Mid-Year Review of the HRD identified 9.7 million beneficiaries and updated the funding requirements to $1.2 billion. The 2016 HRD is 69 per cent funded, with contributions of $1.08 billion from international donors and the Government of Ethiopia (including carry-over resources from 2015). Under the leadership of the Government of Ethiopia delivery of life-saving and life- sustaining humanitarian assistance continues across the sectors. However, effective humanitarian response was challenged by shortage of resources, limited logistical capacities and associated delays, and weak real-time information management. This Periodic Monitoring Report (PMR) provides a summary of the cluster financial inputs against outputs and achievements against cluster objectives using secured funding since the launch of the 2016 HRD.

  • Seroprevalence of Foot and Mouth Disease in Traditionally Managed Cattle in East and West Hararghe Zones, Ethiopia
    Seroprevalence of foot and mouth disease in traditionally managed cattle in East and West Hararghe zones, Ethiopia M. Yahya1 Z. Hailemariam2 L.B. Amare2* T. Rufael3 Keywords Summary Cattle – Foot and mouth disease Serological evidence of exposure to foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) virus – ELISA – Immunodiagnosis – was assessed in traditionally managed cattle in 21 districts of East and West Morbidity – Ethiopia. Hararghe zones in Oromiya State, Ethiopia, through a cross-sectional sur- vey conducted between November 2008 and March 2009. Sera collected from 504 cattle were tested for antibodies against FMDV using a commer- INFECTIEUSE PATHOLOGIE cial ELISA. Antibodies to FMDV were detected at an overall prevalence rate ■ of 11.6% [95% confidence interval (95CI): 8.6–14.5%]. In West Hararghe the seroprevalence was significantly (p < 0.05) higher (25.7%; 95CI: 19.6– 31.9%) than in East Hararghe (1.4%; 95CI: 0.0–3.3%). Location [odds ratio (OR) 0.87], altitude (OR 0.62), and age (OR 1.12) were found to be signifi- cant infection risk factors. Cattle sampled in the lowlands had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher FMDV seroprevalence (36.2%) than those in the highlands (3.4%). Furthermore, cattle in districts dominated by agropastoralists and those closer to the pastoral and agropastoral communities of Somali (6.4%) and Afar (21.3–46.1%) regional states showed higher seropositivity. The study found that FMDV circulated in the areas at a relatively low frequency, which may however increase because of unrestricted movement of animals within the region and across borders. Owing to the extensive livestock production system and difficulties in controlling livestock movement, alternative control strategies involving targeted surveillance, enhanced early disease recognition and reporting, and prophylactic vaccination are suggested as feasible options of FMD control in the areas.

Box, 904 Harar, Ethiopia Dagnachew Lule Oromia Agricultural Research Institute Head Quarter, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Abstract Participatory rural appraisals (PRA) were conducted in July 14 to 30, 2016 in AGP-II project target districts: Erar waldiya and Dire Teyara in Harari region of Ethiopia. PRA exercises were conducted using various PRA tools which included review of secondary data, focus group discussions, field observations (Transact walk) and pair-wise ranking. The tools were used to identify the biophysical and socio-economic constraints, opportunities and developments within the kebeles. Agricultural and animal productions are common in the surveyed Kebeles of the AGP-II target districts. Mixed farming is widely practiced in the kebeles of both districts. Staple food crops like maize and sorghum, and cash crops like vegetables and khat (Catha edulis Forsk) are commonly produced across all targets of AGP-II districts and also as region as well. Growing maize and sorghum in khat alleys is another cropping system practiced in both districts. The PRA work has also identified various categories of constraints to increasing crop production in the areas.

  • Urgent Need for Integrated Emergency Response in 141 Outbreak and Undernutrition Affected Woredas of Ethiopia in 2020
    JOINT INTER-CLUSTER ADVOCACY PAPER URGENT NEED FOR INTEGRATED EMERGENCY RESPONSE IN 141 OUTBREAK AND UNDERNUTRITION AFFECTED WOREDAS OF ETHIOPIA IN 2020 Ethiopian population is currently facing new crises while past crises are not yet resolved. The recurrent food & undernutrition crises and increased frequency of measles and cholera outbreaks in the course of 2019 are now further exacerbated by desert locust infestations and upcoming COVID-19 pandemic. The complexification of the emergency needs requires to bring together our integrated efforts and expertise to address them. Ethiopia Health Cluster, WASH Cluster and Emergency Nutrition Coordination Unit established Health, WASH and Nutrition Technical Woking Group (HWN TWG) to further boost joint response in 141 woreda and IDP camps of Ethiopia by implementing minimum multi-sectoral response package. OUR ASKS • The HWN TWG asks the EHCT to support our initiative by providing more visibility and attention to this integrated initiative and request an opportunity to provide periodic updates at EHCT meetings. • The HWN TWG asks the Government of Ethiopia, especially NDRMC, MOH, EPHI and MOWIE, to improve the joint Health, WASH and Nutrition collaboration, to foster joint system strengthening and data sharing with humanitarian actors. • The HWN TWG asks Donors, including EHF and all the Rapid Response Mechanisms, to prioritise multisectoral funding in priority woredas and consider the multi-sectoral approach as an example of good practice. • The HWN TWG asks implementing partners to include the pilot of the Health WASH and Nutrition minimum package in their future proposals and project design. Partners are encouraged to work as a consortium to jointly implement the full package.
