It Takes a Village
A USDA “International Science and Education” grant allowed the University of Nebraska Lincoln to develop a curriculum-based, short-term study abroad focused on food security, health, and nutrition in two highly diverse, agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia. Incorporating best practices for creating a rigorous academic experience, we employed a “learn on the job” approach to implement the five-week program using an anthropological lens. We share the …
Growing Healthy Families
Although many studies have focused on the socio-economic and nutritional status of Ethiopians, few have incorporated anthropometric measurements and structured questionnaires to explore the links between agriculture, development, and nutrition. Additionally, the research design included interviews with development agents, university faculty and staff, and community leaders from the Ethiopian highlands. A survey of 120 households in three district…
Livelihood Diversification among the Pastoral and Agropastoral Groups in the Upper Awash Valley, Ethiopia
This study explores variations in livelihood diversification among three pastoral or agropastoral groups in the Awash Valley, Ethiopia. The data were derived from a survey of 596 households randomly selected in 31 kebeles (subdistricts) and from participatory rural appraisal exercises in nine kebeles. The indigenous peoples of the study area have traditionally depended on livestock for their livelihoods. In the last few decades, however, pastoral…
Reviving a Traditional Pasture Management System in Fentale, East Central Ethiopia
In this paper, we describe the process of establishing dry season grass reserves, traditionally known as kalo, among Kereyu and Ittu pastoralists of Fentale in the Awash Valley of eastern central Ethiopia. The data were primarily collected using qualitative research methods such as key informant interviews, group discussions, field observations, and records of community meetings and non-governmental organization (NGO) project reports. In the last…
The Awash National Park, Ethiopia
The Awash Valley is well known for anthropological studies. Several fossil-rich sites representing all stages of hominid evolution, including the one that yielded "Lucy," have attracted worldwide attention since the 1970s. Also, the anubis-hamadryas baboon hybrid zone in Awash National Park has been the focus of primatologists since the 1960s. What we know less about are the various indigenous pastoral populations that live in the very places whe…
