This document discusses library budgeting. It defines a library budget as an estimate of expected income and expenditures for a given period, usually a year. The budget allows the library to systematically limit spending to available funds. Budgeting is an important management tool that coordinates functions, ensures resource sharing, and allows periodic review and reassessment of needs. Key factors that influence the budget are the library's size, location, services, users, and costs. Common budgeting techniques include line-item, lump sum, formula, performance, programmed, planning programming budgeting, and zero-based budgeting. The document provides examples of typical budget allocations for different types of libraries.

Healthful housing provides protection, adequate facilities for daily living, and prevents disease spread. Housing standards vary by location but generally recommend elevated sites, sufficient setbacks, durable construction, and minimum room and floor areas. Proper ventilation is also important, with natural ventilation utilizing air movement and mechanical ventilation using fans. Adequate air changes per hour and cubic footage per person are recommended ventilation standards.
Jaipur was established in the 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as the new capital of Amber. There were military and geographical reasons for changing the capital, as the old city of Amber was located on a congested hill. Jai Singh also wanted the new capital to be a strong political statement on par with Mughal cities, and serve as a thriving center of trade. The layout of Jaipur was carefully planned according to Hindu texts, with major roads intersecting in a grid pattern divided into nine blocks. The pink color of the city's buildings was likely intended to cut glare or imitate Mughal architecture, and welcome a British dignitary. Squares called chaupars

The document summarizes reasons why Ethiopia is less developed than other countries. It discusses factors such as education/technology levels, political instability/natural disasters, large population size relative to resources, and a high dependency ratio due to a large young population. These factors have created a cycle of poverty that hinders Ethiopia's economic development.
This document compares perceptions of corruption in Ethiopia and Sudan using two different data sets. In Sudan, the data focuses on identifying corruption as the most important problem facing the country. In Ethiopia, the data examines perceptions of corruption among local state agents. The analysis finds that concerns and perceptions of corruption increase with education and age, and are also influenced by local conditions like quality of services or drought. Regression analysis is used to examine factors influencing perceptions of corruption at the regional and individual levels in both countries.
Pastoral growth study policy retrospective paper 1 final p1haramaya university
This document summarizes a report on pastoral economic policies in Ethiopia from 1991-2008. It finds that reliable data and information on the pastoral economy is lacking, leading to an undervaluation of the sector's contributions. Pastoralism is estimated to contribute over 16% to Ethiopia's GDP, over 50% more than the commonly cited figure, as official statistics do not account for home consumption of products. Better data is needed on production, marketing, trade, and linkages to other sectors to improve policymaking.

If you lived in Ethiopia, you would experience significantly different living conditions than in the United States. Ethiopians have a lower life expectancy, higher rates of diseases like HIV/AIDS, use less resources per capita, and make less money on average. The culture is diverse with over 80 languages spoken and traditions like arranged marriages. Most Ethiopians live in rural areas and rely on subsistence farming despite challenges like poor infrastructure, healthcare, and water quality.
History, Politics and economic Review of EthiopiaArega Getaneh
This is a presentation I did in universita deglii studi di Brescia, Italy. The intention is to introduce my country's history, political happenings and economic environment. In doing so, I would like to share the work to my friends in LinkedIn, too. Here you go!
The document provides an overview of the history, politics, economics, culture and geography of Ethiopia. Some key points:
- Ethiopia has a long history and was never colonized. It has over 80 ethnic groups and many languages spoken.
- The ruling party, EPRDF, dominates politics and has won all seats in recent elections amidst accusations of corruption. Protests erupted in 2015 over political marginalization and economic inequality.
- Ethiopia has pursued a developmental state model with state-led intervention and investment. However, challenges include weak rule of law, corruption and lack of an autonomous bureaucracy.
- Agriculture is the main economic driver but Ethiopia has achieved high growth rates recently.
Ethiopia at a Crossroads: DemogrAphY, geNDer, AND DevelopmeNtCláudio Carneiro
Ethiopia has a large and rapidly growing population that is placing pressure on its resources and hindering development efforts. The country's total fertility rate has declined slowly from 6.4 in the late 1980s to 5.4 in 2002-2004, though urban areas like Addis Ababa have seen fertility fall below replacement level. Slower population growth could help Ethiopia reduce poverty, achieve education and health targets, and reap a potential demographic dividend as the workforce grows relative to dependents. Investing in family planning and gender equality, especially girls' education, would further reduce fertility and position Ethiopia to benefit from lower population growth.
Population dynamics and economic growth in sub saharan africaAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that examines the effects of population dynamics (mortality and fertility rates) on economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa from 1970 to 2005. The study uses pooled OLS and dynamic panel data analysis on data from 35 sub-Saharan African countries. The results show that higher total fertility rates had a negative impact on economic growth, while higher life expectancy at birth had a positive influence on economic growth. The region needs to address its high population growth to achieve sustainable economic development.
Country Development Cooperation Strategy 2013-2018Dr Lendy Spires
This document outlines the Country Development Cooperation Strategy for USAID in Timor-Leste from 2013 to 2018. It provides context on Timor-Leste's history of independence from Portugal and Indonesia, challenges including poverty, food insecurity, and gender inequality, and goals for using oil wealth to promote sustainable economic growth and development. The strategy will focus on improving health, education, agriculture, and private sector development through two intermediate results: 1) Increased equitable access to quality basic social services and 2) Increased economic opportunities. Progress will be monitored through indicators like stunting rates, jobs created, and budget execution.
This document summarizes a study that assesses vulnerability to poverty among rural households in Oromiya, Ethiopia. The study uses secondary data from 2004/05 surveys to examine the extent and determinants of vulnerability. An estimate shows that 17.93% of non-poor households are highly vulnerable, with a mean vulnerability of 0.62. Logistic regression finds that larger household size and an illiterate head significantly increase the probability of vulnerability. The study concludes that poverty reduction strategies need both ex-ante measures to prevent vulnerability as well as ex-post measures to alleviate existing poverty.

The document provides guidance for interpreting data collected about an assigned country, covering key factors to consider regarding geography, demographics, politics, and economics. Geography can influence development if a country is landlocked, has difficult terrain or climate, or lacks arable land. Demographic factors like population engaged in agriculture, youth dependency, disease burdens, and fertility rates also provide insights. Political stability may be impacted by ethnic, linguistic and religious diversity. A country's level of development can be analyzed using core-periphery models, comparing roles as provider of raw materials or finished goods. Students are instructed to research data on their assigned country addressing these topics.
Ethiopia has one of the highest population growth rates in Africa, with its population expected to double to around 110 million by 2020. More than 75% of Ethiopians live in rural areas, with population densities ranging widely from 30-100 people per square kilometer depending on the region. Physical factors like altitude strongly influence population distribution, with about 15% of people living above 2,400 meters and 75% living between 1,500-2,400 meters, despite over half the country being below 1,500 meters. Rapid population growth is pushing carrying capacities in some favored areas to their limits, resulting in issues like malnutrition and starvation in some locations.

This document discusses constrained multiplier analysis by relaxing the assumption of unlimited factor resources. It introduces the concept of constraining some sectors' production levels to model resource constraints in agriculture, mining, and government services. The constrained multiplier formula is derived, distinguishing between supply-unconstrained and constrained sectors. A matrix format is used to represent the formula, with the constrained multiplier calculated as the inverse of the identity matrix minus an adjusted coefficient matrix, multiplied by the exogenous components matrix. Readers are directed to a worksheet exercise to calculate constrained multipliers using the mathematical equations and Excel functions.
This document provides an introduction to multiplier analysis using social accounting matrices (SAM). It outlines how economic linkages transmit the effects of exogenous demand shocks through an economy. The direct and indirect effects are explained, with indirect effects including consumption and production linkages. An unconstrained SAM multiplier model is presented, with formulas derived to calculate economy-wide output, income, and sectoral responses to exogenous changes in demand. Exercises are provided to build a multiplier model in Excel and calculate multipliers.
The document provides an introduction to social accounting matrices (SAM) and economywide analysis. It discusses key concepts such as:
- SAMs capture the circular flow of income and expenditures between households, firms, government, and the rest of the world.
- Economywide analysis considers how changes in one sector can impact other sectors through economic linkages.
- A SAM shows payments by columns and receipts by rows to ensure double-entry bookkeeping and macroeconomic consistency.
- Building a SAM requires data from various sources like national accounts and household surveys, which are reconciled using statistical techniques.

This document discusses sustainable food systems. It defines a food system as encompassing all actors and activities involved in food production, processing, distribution, consumption and disposal. A sustainable food system is one that provides food security and nutrition for current and future generations without compromising economic, social or environmental sustainability. It must be economically viable, socially equitable, and have neutral or positive environmental impacts. The food system is driven by biophysical, demographic, technological, political, economic and socio-cultural factors.
The document summarizes Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP), a large social protection program that aims to smooth food consumption and protect assets for chronically food insecure communities. Key points:
- The PSNP provides direct transfers and public works projects to build community assets like roads and irrigation. It supports up to 8 million beneficiaries with a budget of $0.5 billion annually.
- Independent evaluations show the PSNP improved household food security and dietary diversity but had little impact on child nutrition outcomes. It did not reduce labor supply or crowd out private transfers.
- While the PSNP enhanced resilience, graduation remains a challenge. Targeting in lowland areas also proved difficult. Ensuring timely payments
Some Welfare Consequences of COVID-19 in Ethiopiaessp2
1) The study examines the impacts of COVID-19 on food marketing margins in Ethiopia using phone surveys of farmers, wholesalers, and retailers conducted in February 2020 and May 2020.
2) The surveys found that over 50% of farmers reported receiving less income in May compared to usual times, though most planned to continue vegetable production. Wholesalers reported decreased transport options and client numbers but stable or lower costs, while most retailers saw lower client numbers but stable or lower costs and losses.
3) Retail prices for the main vegetables remained quite stable between February and May, suggesting marketing margins absorbed most impacts of COVID-19 disruptions on vegetable supply chains in Ethiopia during the
Improving evidence for better policy making in Ethiopia’s livestock sector essp2
1. The document discusses Ethiopia's evolving livestock sector and improving evidence for better policy making.
2. While livestock contributed little to GDP growth, there is considerable potential for growth given Ethiopia's large livestock populations and rising demand for animal-sourced foods.
3. Factors like education, household size, extension services, and herd size are positively associated with adoption of improved practices and inputs like vaccination and cross-breeding.
The COVID-19 Pandemic and Food Security in Ethiopia – An Interim Analysisessp2
This document summarizes the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on food security in Ethiopia. It finds that the pandemic is likely to have large short-term negative economic effects through impacts on exports, imports, remittances and domestic lockdown measures. This will reduce GDP, household incomes, employment and agricultural market functioning. Many households are already experiencing income losses, higher food prices and shifts away from nutritious foods. Recommendations include continuing the government's response, addressing misinformation, expanding social safety nets and implementing selective lockdowns.

The document summarizes the effects of COVID-19 on agricultural value chains in Ethiopia. It discusses how measures taken to prevent spread of the virus, such as closing land borders and restricting movement between regional states, have reduced economic activity. It then outlines an assessment of local rural-urban value chains to understand how the pandemic is impacting farmers' incomes, market access, and food security. The assessment will focus on commodities like potatoes, onions, and tomatoes that rely on transportation between rural and urban areas. Recommendations will be made on how to minimize disruptions to the agricultural sector during this crisis.

AFFORDABILITY OF Nutritious foods IN ETHIOPIAessp2
This document summarizes research on the affordability of nutritious diets in Ethiopia. It finds that between 2001 and 2017, the cost of the least expensive diet providing adequate calories and nutrients for an adult woman increased 67% from $0.91 to $1.52. While real prices of some staple foods have decreased in recent years, prices of nutrient-rich foods like dairy, eggs, and meat have increased substantially. However, overall affordability has improved due to rising incomes. Still, ensuring adequate supply of nutritious foods is important to keep their prices low.
The EAT Lancet Publication: Implications for Nutrition Health and Planetessp2
The document discusses a publication by the EAT-Lancet Commission that aimed to define global scientific targets for healthy diets from sustainable food systems. It established a reference diet of 2500 calories per day consisting of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, plant proteins, unsaturated fats, and limited red meat and sugar. Current diets vary widely from this target. The commission also set planetary boundaries related to greenhouse gas emissions, land and water use, and nutrient flows to define a safe operating space for food production. Global modeling was used to identify combinations of measures needed to meet dietary targets sustainably by 2050, such as shifting diets, reducing food waste, and improving agricultural practices.
Sustainable Undernutrition Reduction in Ethiopia (SURE): Evaluation studies essp2
The SURE program is a government-led multisectoral intervention in Ethiopia that aims to reduce undernutrition through a package of interventions like joint household visits, cooking demonstrations, and media campaigns. Evaluation studies of SURE used a quasi-experimental design and found that children's dietary diversity is positively associated with reduced stunting, and that household production of fruits and vegetables was linked to increased child dietary diversity and reduced stunting. However, the studies also found variability in the delivery of nutrition messages across households and limited awareness of nutrition guidelines among local officials.
Policies and Programs on food and Nutrition in Ethiopiaessp2
This document outlines policies and programs on food and nutrition in Ethiopia. It discusses nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions, and the pathways through which nutrition-sensitive interventions can affect diet and food systems. It then provides an overview of Ethiopia's policy landscape on food and nutrition, outlining various strategies and policies that aim to improve nutrition, including the Food, Nutrition and Policy, Agriculture Growth Program Phase II, Productive Safety Net Program, and National Nutrition Program. The document concludes that Ethiopia has a favorable policy environment for improving diets and nutrition, but effective implementation, coordination, evidence-based scaling up of interventions, and strong monitoring and evaluation are still needed.
1) Access to nutritious foods is challenging for many households in Ethiopia, especially low-income households, due to high costs and an inability to afford animal-source proteins, zinc, iron, and other micronutrients that are critical for young children's development.
2) A study found that households in Ethiopia spend around 25,000 birr per year on food, with 14,535 birr from purchases and 11,000 birr from own production, but still struggle to meet half of nutritional requirements for children under two.
3) Factors like religious fasting practices and lack of separate feeding plates for children can negatively impact children's diet diversity in Ethiopia. Increased investment in small and
Kaleab Baye presented on diets and stunting in Ethiopia. Stunting rates have declined overall but inequalities persist, with the lowest wealth quintile having the highest rates. Complementary foods in Ethiopia are often low in quantity, diversity, and quality. Improving maternal and child nutrition requires interventions across food systems to increase availability, accessibility, and affordability of nutrient-dense foods as well as improving caregiver feeding practices and maternal health. Comprehensive measures are needed to assess diet quality and reduce consumption of unhealthy foods and risks to food safety.
This document discusses the linkages between irrigation and nutrition in Ethiopia. It notes that Ethiopia's Food and Nutrition Policy and Nutrition Sensitive Agricultural Strategy recognize the role of irrigation in improving nutritional outcomes. There are several pathways through which irrigation can impact nutrition, such as increasing food production, household income, access to water, and women's empowerment. Studies show that children and women in irrigating households in Ethiopia have better dietary diversity and nutrient intake, as well as reduced stunting and wasting, compared to non-irrigating households. Therefore, promoting irrigation can help improve nutrition in addition to increasing income and agricultural yields.
