Climate shocks are common in  Ethiopia  and often cause poor or failed harvests that lead to acute food shortages. UN says 4.5 million Ethiopians now in need of food aid after poor rains   Read more The government has allocated $192m (£124m) for food and other aid and is appealing for $596m in assistance from the international community for the remainder of 2015, said Mitiku Kassa, secretary of the Ethiopian disaster prevention and preparedness committee.

The Central Statistics Agency (CSA) of Ethiopia disclosed that it is going to use mobile technology in the 2017 national population and housing censuses, according to Ethiopian News Agency. The Agency states mobile technology is needed to fasten the rate of information flow. The Agency’s plan was disclosed at a regional conference by Kifle Gebre, Information System Technology Director at the Agency. Head of Ethiopian Statistical Association Secretariat Zelalem Destaw said the new mobile technology will be of much help in avoiding delay of information exchange. The regional conference which is taking place from October 13 to 17, 2015, will convey useful recommendations and outputs to utilize mobile technologies in collecting statistical data in Africa. The pilot project is being performed in Ethiopia and other six African countries. Upon full implementation of the project, collection and dissemination of quality data will be enhanced in Ethiopia, it was learnt. Source: E

Saado Osman straps two bulging sacks of United Nations wheat to her donkey, one of the few animals the 70-year-old eastern Ethiopian herder has left since the rains stopped. Like millions of others in the Horn of Africa nation she depended on that precipitation to provide fodder and water for her livestock. Now drought has killed 20 of her cattle and goats, leaving her family of 10 with just four animals. A dead cow lies in Afar region.   Photographer: William Davison/Bloomberg “There is hunger here,” Saado said as she stood among a crowd receiving food relief in Afdem town in Ethiopia’s Somali region on Oct. 8. “For one year it has not rained.” Rain failure from February to May this year in Ethiopia, one of Africa’s fastest growing economies, was compounded by a short and erratic primary wet season from June to September. That’s left 8.2 million people in need of emergency support, with the crisis set to worsen through September next year, according to the UN. The ef

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia  – The  Walias of Ethiopia  defeated  Sao Tome e Principe  3-0 here today to advance to the next round of the  2018 FIFA World Cup  qualifier. The Walias, who were stunned by Sao Tome in the first leg match, were craving for a revenge and it took just one minute for them to open the score through  Dawit Fekadu . Although Ethiopia dominated the match, they couldn’t add a second goal until the start of the second half when  Gatoch Panom  converted a penalty kick (48′).  Ramkel Lok  added a third in the 74th minute. Overall, the Walias dominated the match and could have added 4 or 5 more goals. Walias’ next opponent is Congo Brazzaville in the next round in November.

View  gallery . Johannesburg (AFP) - Sao Tome e Principe, an island state of 200,000 inhabitants off the Gabon coast, shocked Ethiopia 1-0 Thursday in the first leg of a 2018 World Cup qualifier. Portugal-born Luis Leal scored three minutes from time at Estadio National 12 de Julho in Sao Tome to give the fourth weakest African national team by rankings an unexpected victory. Ethiopia, 85 places above the Saotomeans in the world rankings, host the second leg of the first-round tie in Addis Ababa Sunday with a match-up against Congo Brazzaville at stake. Leal, a 28-year-old striker on loan to Belenenses of Portugal from Apoel of Cyprus, rewarded an impressive performance by a country with some unhappy World Cup memories. Sao Tome were overwhelmed 5-0 at home by Congo Brazzaville in a 2014 qualifier and crumbled 8-0 away to Libya in an earlier competition. The islanders faced Ethiopia desperate to shake off poor Africa Cup of Nations form with a 7-1 aw

Central Statistics Agency (CSA) is to construct buildings for its four branches in Mekelle, Hawassa, Ambo and Bahir Dar. Three of the buildings will be three storeys high, while the one in Bahir Dar will have four storeys to meet the minimum standard of the municipality, said Tessema Geda, project manager of CSA. The Agency awarded the construction of Ambo building to Bereket Haile Building Contractor on September 30, 2015. The construction aspect of the project is supported by a World Bank grant of 800,000 dollars. This is part of the 10 million dollars which the Bank has set aside for building the capacity of CSA. Design and supervision work will be undertaken by Solomon Gebre Architect & Engineers Consultancy Plc, which was selected from seven bidding firms. CSA has 25 branch offices in different regional states. At present the Hawassa and Bahir Dar branches are rented from private owners, while the Mekelle and Ambo branches are government-owned houses.

Little appears to have changed in the views of those at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) about Ethiopia’s macroeconomic performance. Disclosing its latest conclusion, on September 30, 2015, the assessment and recommendations of the IMF executive board for Ethiopia is the “same ol’ same ol’,” despite an unusually brief report with a couple of omissions from its predecessors. The verdict is that growing at 8.7pc, Ethiopia’s economic performance remains “buoyant,” a word with connotations of “light-heartedness”, which executive board members used, changing the tone from “robust,” the term used in their previous assessments, implying vigour in the economy over the years. The size of the economy grew from 877 billion Br in 2013 to 1.2 trillion Br last year, largely due to “prudent fiscal and pro-poor growth” policies the government has been following, according to the IMF. Yet, it warns that the economy faces risks from “rising domestic and external vulnerabilities,” again looking
