Bizuayehu Tesfaye Abstract The composition and structure of 300 enset gardens from 10 different locations in Sidama were examined. Average size of the gardens was 0.74 ha. The gardens are composed of mixtures of various named enset varieties and different groups recognisable on the basis of ‘sex’ (male and female) and use (cooking and processing). The gardens exhibit high diversity, with a given garden containing up to 24 varieties (mean = 8.2). However, the components are not represented equally. Typically, the gardens consisted of one or two very abundant varieties and a much larger number of less common ones. Enset gardens are dynamic because the number and composition of varieties and different types changed from garden to garden, from location to location and across time. Their composition, structure and dynamics have been influenced by human, socio-economic factors (farm size, land per capita, cropping patterns and size of livestock), temporal circumstances and landscape

Children triggering in their community, Sidama, Ethiopia Photo by Berhanu Tunsisa, Plan Ethiopia PRESS RELEASE Countries of East Africa are making significant progress in reducing preventable child deaths, according to a new report by Save the Children that shows how Ethiopia and Tanzania have already met their targets set out under the Millennium Development Goals and Rwanda, South Sudan and Uganda are not far behind. In a new evaluation of countries' progress in tackling preventable child deaths developed by Save the Children, the NGO warns that globally, four million more lives could have been saved if governments had focused equally on the poorest children as they have done on the 'low-hanging fruit': the less-poor children in less-remote areas. The report,  Lives on the Line , looks at how countries are progressing towards meeting their Millennium Development Goal of reducing preventable child deaths by two-thirds.
