In 2020, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) celebrates 30 years since its adoption. To date, 50 African States have ratified the ACRWC, and 28 have submitted the initial report, 12 have submitted both initial and periodic reports to the African Committee of Experts on the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC) on the implementation of the ACRWC and have received recommendations from the ACERWC. To ascertain the extent of children’s rights protection in Africa, the Centre for Human Rights was commissioned to undertake a study on the implementation of the ACRWC in 10 countries, namely: Algeria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique, Namibia, Sudan and Tanzania. In-country researchers were engaged to collect data using desk-based research to obtain information consisting of literature, documents and online sources that was then thematically analysed.

Agricultural Mechanization in Ethiopia
Author: David Alfred George Green
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 888
Book Description
Four dissimilar cases of agricultural mechanization in different regions of Ethiopia are described and analyzed for potential benefits, costs, and compatability with certain objectives selected from the Ethiopian Third Five-Year Plan. The broad definition of mechanization is employed: any form of mechanical assistance used in agricultural technology, facilitates consideration of any agricultural system in Ethiopia as a potential site for mechanization. Objectives of the thesis are: to present production data over a period of ten years for which farm budgeting is employed; to analyze the financial data with benefit-cost techniques to relate certain non-financial aspects of these cases to objectives specified in Ethiopian development plans for which index trendswere estimated; to demonstrate the types pf data required for economic analyses of agricultural mechanization; to demonstrate the applicability of the methodology to four different agricultural systems. Systems are classified as employing hand-, animal-, or engine-pwered technology. The selected cases depict four alternative options open to policy-makers interested in improving agricultural mechanized technology in Ethiopia. Mechanization is regarded as a process of improvement or transition. Potential commercial viability is the principal criterion employed for selection of cases. No value is placed in mechanization per se without economic justification for proposed changes. Hence, introduction of cash crops into the agricultural systems are essential.

Book Description
This Selected Issues paper on The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia highlights that accelerating private sector development is the key to increasing and sustaining growth, and providing employment opportunities to raise incomes. Private sector development remains in its infancy, reflecting the slow transition to a market economy, and the contribution of industry to GDP has not changed significantly. The World Bank has identified some key areas to improve the investment climate, which include deeper financial sector reform and acceleration of the privatization program.

Religion and Law in Ethiopia
Author: Mohammed Abdo
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403534931
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this convenient resource provides systematic information on how Ethiopia deals with the role religion plays or can play in society, the legal status of religious communities and institutions, and the legal interaction among religion, culture, education, and media. After a general introduction describing the social and historical background, the book goes on to explain the legal framework in which religion is approached. Coverage proceeds from the principle of religious freedom through the rights and contractual obligations of religious communities; international, transnational, and regional law effects; and the legal parameters affecting the influence of religion in politics and public life. Also covered are legal positions on religion in such specific fields as church financing, labour and employment, and matrimonial and family law. A clear and comprehensive overview of relevant legislation and legal doctrine make the book an invaluable reference source and very useful guide. Succinct and practical, this book will prove to be of great value to practitioners in the myriad instances where a law-related religious interest arises in Ethiopia. Academics and researchers will appreciate its value as a thorough but concise treatment of the legal aspects of diversity and multiculturalism in which religion plays such an important part.

The Lives of Stone Tools
Author: Kathryn Weedman Arthur
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 081653828X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
The Lives of Stone Tools gives voice to the Indigenous Gamo lithic practitioners of southern Ethiopia. For the Gamo, their stone tools are alive, and their work in flintknapping is interwoven with status, skill, and the life histories of their stone tools. Anthropologist Kathryn Weedman Arthur offers insights from her more than twenty years working with the Gamo. She deftly addresses historical and present-day experiences and practices, privileging the Gamo’s perspectives. Providing a rich, detailed look into the world of lithic technology, Arthur urges us to follow her into a world that recognizes Indigenous theories of material culture as valid alternatives to academic theories. In so doing, she subverts long-held Western perspectives concerning gender, skill, and lifeless status of inorganic matter. The book offers the perspectives that, contrary to long-held Western views, stone tools are living beings with a life course, and lithic technology is a reproductive process that should ideally include both male and female participation. Only individuals of particular lineages knowledgeable in the lives of stones may work with stone technology. Knappers acquire skill and status through incremental guided instruction corresponding to their own phases of maturation. The tools’ lives parallel those of their knappers from birth (procurement), circumcision (knapping), maturation (use), seclusion (storage), and death (discardment). Given current expectations that the Gamo’s lithic technology may disappear with the next generation, The Lives of Stone Tools is a work of vital importance and possibly one of the last contemporaneous books about a population that engages with the craft daily.
