Ethiopia Site Selection


Criteria

The July 2012 consultative meeting discussed site selection criteria (PPT is below)

Initial broad criteria discussed (from the PPT):

  • Representative agro-ecological conditions
  • High poverty
  • High sheep and goat densities
  • Good market access

Fuzzy 'Soft' criteria

  • Synergy with ongoing research
  • Govt priorities e.g. AGP
  • Potential for success – implementation and impact
  • Existing links with research system
  • Regional representation
  • Availability of secondary data

Fuzzy 'Killer' criteria [identified from the July consultative meeting]

  • Likelihood of success
  • Market potential
  • Well known supply areas
  • Proximity to Addis
  • Number of animals per hh
  • Importance of sheep to hh livelihoods




Potential Sites

The July 2012 consultative meeting identified potential sites:

SHEEP

Amhara - Menz Ger

  • Reasons

high density poverty level Good market access strong research support livelihood depends on sheep breed preferred by consumers

Borena - Near Yabellow

  • Reasons

Major source of export surplus production represents semi-arid , Pastoral-ism supply chain well established expertise on pastoral dev't rural trade export

Horro Gudru - west Oromia

  • Reasons

high sheep density large population proximity to market important breed

  • Rural - urban
  • Rural - rural

AFAR

  • Reasons

livelihood of success?? important source of export aimed proximity to abattoirs surplus production

Rural - Urban

  • Tigray (East zone)

Suitable map Food insecure Collaboration with lives

  • South (Gurage region|)

High population suitable No earlier iteration

Rural - Rural

  • Amhara (North)

Suitable High population known breed Resource center Ongoing R4D Private sector

  • Oromia ( Arisi)

Suitable map High population known population Resource center

  • South (Gamo Gofa)

Huge population little/ no work so far Lives woreda Private, safety net


GOATS

Rural - Rural

  • Tenkua Abergele (Tigray /Amahara)

Supplies to Mekel and the new export abattoirs (Abergele) Has it own breed abergele

  • Asaita (Afar)

High got population Contribution of goat to hh livelihood High demand for Afar goat in the middle east

  • Dilo (Borena) / Raitu (Bale), Both are Oromia

High population Supplies to export abattoris Contribution to livelihood

  • Konso (SNNPR)

High goat population Supplies to export abattoirs in Modjo and Bishofitu Feed the yabello market

  • Raitu

High population neighbor to somali region Untapped resources because of distance and rough road network

Rural - Urban

  • Negele Borena (Liben woreda, Oromiya)

High population Already developed market linkage with abattoirs Neighboring Somalia region to collect animals

  • Shinille (Somali/ Dire Dawa)

Supplies to D/Dawa and Mieso markets Major supplier to export abattoris Supplies white Somali breeds High population

Justification

  • High goat population
  • Contribution of goats to livelihood
  • Already developed functional market engagement
  • Regional and agro - ecologiecal representation
  • Road network
  • Aligned to the GIS findings
  • Breed diversity
  • Livelihood for success


Site Selection - some general reflections on what emerged from the July 2012 consultative meeting

  • goats mainly in pastoral areas [lowland?]
  • sheep mainly in highlands
  • some existing sites (sheep), some new
  • rural-rural and rural-urban, does not really work (could try domestic versus expert). or even better 'ease of market access'. Needs further x-checking
