  • Developing community energy systems to facilitate Ethiopia's transition to sustainable energy

    Open AccessMulualem G Gebreslassie, Gezu Bekele et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2024References: 4

    In Ethiopia, renewable energy offers people an affordable, dependable, and eco-friendly power supply while decreasing the carbon footprint. However, delivering a renewable future for the country requires a massive change in social practices and systems of provision. The slow progress of renewable development is hindering the transition to a cleaner energy future. Over 80 % of people live in rural areas where it is expensive to reach them via grid…

  • Delivering an off-grid transition to sustainable energy in Ethiopia and Mozambique

    Open AccessMulualem G Gebreslassie, Carlos Cuvilas et al.ARTICLEEnergy Sustainability and Society2022Cited by: 3References: 8

    Background Off-grid and decentralized energy systems have emerged as an alternative to facilitate energy access and resilience in a flexible, adaptable way, particularly for communities that do not have reliable access to centralized energy networks both in rural and urban areas. Much research to date on community energy systems has focused on their deployment in Europe and North America. This paper advances these debates by looking at how commun…

  • Livestock mortality in pastoralist herds in Ethiopia and implications for drought response

    Open AccessAndy Catley, Berhanu Admassu et al.ARTICLEDisasters2014References: 15

    Participatory epidemiology methods were employed retrospectively in three pastoralist regions of Ethiopia to estimate the specific causes of excess livestock mortality during drought. The results showed that starvation/dehydration accounted for between 61.5 and 100 per cent of excess livestock mortality during drought, whereas disease‐related mortality accounted for between 0 and 28.1 per cent of excess mortality. Field observations indicate that…

  • Impact of drought-related vaccination on livestock mortality in pastoralist areas of Ethiopia

    Open AccessAndy Catley, Dawit Abebe et al.ARTICLEDisasters2009Cited by: 1References: 14

    Under a national Livestock Policy Forum in Ethiopia the impact of livestock vaccination during drought was assessed in order to inform the development of a best-practice guideline. For each of the different types of vaccine used during drought years there was no significant difference in livestock mortality, for any species, in vaccinated compared with non-vaccinated herds. The limited impact of vaccination on livestock mortality was attributed t…
