Message from the National Director

Looking back into the year just gone, I am much grateful to the doer of all our vision, the almighty God. The year was really marked with many life transforming achievements being realized for which World Vision Ethiopia can count on many successes of diverse nature in the 66 Area Development Programs (ADPs) of seven Regional States with a total annual budget expenditure of USD 63,984,926. In collaboration with the Regional States; WVE ADPs have conducted integrated development activities to contribute to the wellbeing of vulnerable children in its operational areas in partnership with FBOs, civil society and the government with five major projects/sectors. It was also a year of continued learning where we tried to assess the impacts and results of the program side by side:-in line with ensuring Child Wellbeing Outcomes (CWBOs)/ Aspirations to identify areas of weakness for better performance in the upcoming years especially in the area of effective partnership & community empowerment.

Towards contributing to the goal of ensuring the wellbeing of vulnerable children in its

operational areas, major achievements were recorded. A lot has been done in the multi sector/integrated interventions encompassing food security, education, health, nutrition, water, environmental sanitation and hygine, HIV and AIDS prevention and control programs mainstreamed with cross cutting themes of gender, disability, environment, advocacy and protection.

A number of completed infrastructures, including schools, health institutions, veterinary posts, water facilities, roads and bridges as well as child development centers were constructed and officially handed over to communities and concerned government offices.

On the other hand, correspondence with regional offices, support office, and program offices to facilitate the works and designing and redesigning process (PDD Preparation) of two selected IPM piloting sites (Jarso & Bedelle) and ADPs redesigning in IPM using the same approach a re among the ma jor accomplishments of the year.

WVE also played a remarkable role in handling emergency response activities. The major areas of these interventions among others were mainly in areas of standard nutritional survey, emergency nutrition intervention, food aid, recovery activities through emergency food security program, pastoralist livelihood enhancement program through livestock support, flood response, emergency water and sanitation response, and disaster risk management programs implemented to improve lives and livelihood of 817,695 disaster affected communities. The programs were also implemented in more than 26 ADPs and 5 Non ADP woredas namely Bati, Raya Azebo,

Mekdella, Boricha, and Boreda found in five regional states (SNNPR, Amhara, Oromia, Tigray and Afar) and Addis Ababa Administration.

WVE has also continued working in a larger scale on environmental protection/rehabilitation activities. Here, the registration of Humbo CMNFRP by the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) could be cited as an outshining achievement that attracted the attention of many donors, NGOs, Universities and government institutions. The project has been visited by a significant number of internal and external institutions and individuals. This project restores 2,728 hectares of natural forest and it is expected to sequester over 880,000 MT of CO2e over 30 years. The project is the first A/R CDM in Ethiopia and the largest in size for Africa.

At this juncture, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all partakers in achieving vision. Needless to give further clarification that the outstanding accomplishments of the fiscal year are attributed to dedicated staff and all WVE partners including our donors who generously gave us their right hand with all the necessary support. I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the government bodies and communities that partnered with us and to all other institutions and individuals who took part in program planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

Finally, as we minister to children and communities in the subsequent years we highly count on the Lord of provision and growth regardless of what is going on around the world. Indeed, trusting in God, we still expect to grow and reach the needy that are our primary ministry targets. And God will remain loyal to the provider and doer of our aspirations and vision and we also remain trusted to Him.

Executive Summary

During fiscal year 2010, World Vision Ethiopia has been operational in 66  Area  Development Programs  (ADPs).  These  ADPs  are  carrying  out  integrated  development  activities  in  seven  National  Regional States, namely, Tigray, Amhara, Oromia, Addis Ababa, SNNPR, Benishangul Gumuz and Afar.   At all  these ADPs, WVE  has  conducted  integrated  development,  emergency  response  and  advocacy  related  program  activities  to contribute to the wellbeing of vulnerable children in its operational areas in partnership with FBOs, civil society and  the government with  five major projects/sectors. These  include Education,  Food Security, Health, HIV and AIDS, Water and Sanitation and Hygiene as well as Sponsorship Management  

 The  implementation  of  these  integrated  programs  have  contributed  to  the  improvement  of  household  food security, the well‐being of children and their families in health, education and access to clean water supplies. In due  course,  the  capacity  of  the  community,  WVE  ADP  staff  and  local  government  staffs  in  managing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating programs has been built up at  large.  In  spite of  some challenges,  the performance in this fiscal year was commendable in general.    The steady growth of the population joined with undependable rainfall pattern and the already intensively used potentials  in  ADP  areas  certainly  demanded  the  need  to  promote  irrigation  and  intensification  of  agricultural practices. In support of the traditional farming and rain‐fed agriculture, the ADPs were involved in the promotion of small‐scale irrigation activities. Here, a total of 29 traditional irrigation schemes benefiting 2,449 persons were upgraded  by  small  scale  irrigations.  In  an  effort  made  to  enhance  agricultural  production,  depending  on  the potential and farmers’ experiences, ADPs have facilitated the small‐scale/traditional  irrigation development. To this  end  a  total  of  7668  target  farmers  (4048  male  &  3620  female)  have  constructed/maintained  17  km  of irrigation canal. In addition, a total of 130 hand dug wells benefiting 720 (380 male & 340 female) persons have been  constructed.  Although  it  is  hard  to  totally  avoid  food  insecurity  in  the  area,  the  irrigation  practices  have contributed to reducing the likely risk of drought by availing better water supply to farmers’ crops.   In collaboration with Woreda Agriculture Office, capacity building training was given to community members on agriculture  related  topics. To  increase  the  technical  and managerial  capacity of  the  community members, WVE ADP  staff  and  government  staffs,  various  training  was  given  to  31,733  community  members  (21,273  male  & 10,460 female); 2,554 government staffs (2,041 male & 513 female) and 57 WVE ADP staff (40 male & 17 female) have  received  training  on  agriculture  related  topics.  In  line  with  supporting  government  efforts  in  areas  of extension,  demonstrations  and  conservation  works  in  all WVE  ADP  operational  areas,  various  activities  were carried  out.  These  included  provision  and  distribution  of  2,448  Quintals  of  potatoes  and  others,  to  4,872 beneficiaries;  8,285  kilograms  of  horticulture/vegetable  seeds  to  23,066  beneficiaries;  531,440  root  crops cuttings to 1,769 beneficiaries; 4,027,160 fruit seedlings to 52,081beneficiaries; 260 motorized irrigation water/tridle pumps benefiting 3667 persons, various farm tools that worth USD 56,651 to 5,592 beneficiaries; 3,020 live animals (cattle, equine, sheep and goat)to 12,981beneficiaries; 10,741 poultry to 5,290 beneficiaries. In addition to  these,  $72,575  financial  support was  given  to  enhance epidemic  control  support,  and $84,506  to  veterinary drug and equipments supports. Three veterinary clinics, 13 vet posts, 1cattle trough as well as 18 cattle crushes were constructed during this fiscal year.   In addition to promoting agricultural production, helping farmers to have a diversified source of off‐farm income was one of  the most  important areas to ensure food security activities. To this end, WVE/ADPs have facilitated interested community members to organize themselves into groups and get access to rural credit sources  from locally available micro finance institutions. As a result, a total of 866 Social Groups (SGs)/Interest Groups (IGs)/Cooperatives were formed/strengthened and facilitated to get access to the credit sources. Various skill training was also organized on the bases of the potentials and identified needs and given to 2,155 community members

Background World Vision Ethiopia (WVE) is a Christian humanitarian organization undertaking a transformational development program that is holistic, community based, child focused, sustainable and environment sensitive in different parts of the country. WVE started its operation in the country in 1971 through providing relief assistance. WVE implements program through the Area Development Program (ADP) starting from 1990 with the clustering of scattered sponsorship and rehabilitation projects. An ADP is an integrative concept that links a defined geographical entity with a strategy of utilizing diverse sources of funding to meet defined development goals and holistic transformational development of the people and their environment. ADP is a physical entity that has a defined geographical boundary usually matching with administrative units (Woreda Boundary). During fiscal year 2010, WVE was operating in 66 ADPs (63 rural and 3 urban) located in 80 woredas of seven Regional States of the country namely Oromia, Addis Ababa City Administration, Amhara, Tigray, Afar, Benishangul Gumuz & Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Regional State. In collaboration with community and government, all ADPs are implementing an integrated development programs to attain livelihoods security at household level. In FY 2010, WVE implemented the integrated development programs components that included Education; Food Security; Health; HIV and AIDS; Water and Sanitation & Hygiene and Sponsorship Management. Children are the primary focus of WVE and all program components are implemented towards

addressing the strategic & basic needs of children within families and communities parallel to supporting and building the capacity of families and communities. During fiscal year 2010, WVE ADPs have facilitated and implemented programs that contribute to promote and improve socio-economic conditions of families and community to ensure sustained well-being of children are achieved. On the other hand, the FY is a year of continued learning where WVE has tried to assess the impacts and results of the program. Besides much focus was given to ensure child Wellbeing Outcomes (CWBOs), growth areas were identified and emphasis was given to strengthen partnership & community empowerment in accordance with the newly developed NO strategy(FY’10-12) and FY’10 ADPs Detailed Implementation Plan (DIP). On top of these, WVE is focusing more and more on environmental protection/rehabilitation activities for it has come to be a global agenda that have a far reaching impact on sustainable development. Here, it is also worth mentioning that there is a strong case for revisiting our current development models and for giving the environment its due position as a significant corner stone for livelihood security and sustainable development. A range of promising development and lifestyle models has come out which take account of the central role the environment plays in achieving sustainable development.

Introduction

At present, WVE is operating in 66 ADPs (63 rural and 3 urban) located in 80 woredas of seven Regional States of the country namely Oromia, Addis Ababa City Administration, Amhara, Tigray, Afar, Benishangul Gumuz & Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Regional State. In collaboration with community and government, all ADPs are implementing an integrated development programs to attain livelihoods security at household level. In FY 2010, WVE implemented the integrated development programs components that included food security, health & nutrition, HIV & AIDS prevention and control, water and sanitation, education, environmental protection and rehabilitation, child development and wellbeing. Children are fundamentally the basis for WV organization’s foundation. WVE believes that the well being of children is predominantly governed by the living conditions of their families in particular and the community in general. To this end maximum efforts were made over the past years to promote and improve socio-economic conditions of families and community members so that they will be able to address their children’s basic needs by themselves. In order to achieve these objectives, all ADPs have exercised their best efforts by implementing integrated programs that are directly and indirectly addressing the basic needs of children and their families that include education, health and nutrition/food. Awareness creation and training on children development and protection were facilitated to children and their families, community members, government staffs and religious leaders. In-collaboration with government and community, children in our operation areas

have now better access to education, health, potable water facilities and their wellbeing are developed than ever before. Finally, but most importantly it is worth mentioning that FY’10 was also a year of continued learning where we tried to assess the impacts and results of the program side by side:-in line with ensuring Child Wellbeing Outcomes (CWBOs) to identify areas of weakness for better performance in the upcoming years especially in the area of effective partnership & community empowerment as per the newly developed WVE NO Strategy (FY’10-12). Needless to say that much work is required at community, woreda, regional state and country level by WVE and local communities/associations in materializing the same so as to ensure sustainable development especially in our ADP operational areas through facilitating the ground work for effective partnership and community empowerment. It is high time to bring millions of hands to act collaboratively towards achieving sustainable development by ensuring community program ownership and empowerment through effective partnership at all levels at large where by communities are well capacitated to deal with their development, disasters and advocacy related problems by themselves. Such aspirations could meaningfully be materialized through sufficient integration/alignment with LEAP aligned program documents prepared with full participation of communities, government and WV Partnership stakeholders as the advent of various Global Center Guidance, sector strategies, regional ministry priorities and the National Office Strategy calls for some kind of alignment without making radical change to the programs. This is particularly important as program cycles span over five years period and the National

Office can’t tolerate total un-alignment for such long period. Moreover, operation audit findings, change in the government policies and monitoring feedbacks remind us of the need to make certain adjustment for ministry quality improvement. The document is being organized in to four major chapters (preceded by the background and introductory parts) as a whole. The first chapter presents the major program accomplishments of the fiscal year. Chapter two discuses WVE management hierarchies while the third chapter focuses on source and utilization of budget. Finally, WVE operational and financial audit is treated in the fourth chapter.

I . M a j o r P r o g r a m Accomplishments WVE ADPs’ yearly accomplishments are generally guided by the Annual Operations Plan (AOP)/DIP document of the respective ADP. The plan document encompasses components of Improved Household Access to Education Services, Increased Household Agricultural Production/food security at household levels, Improved Household Access to Health Services, Improved Control and Prevention of HIV & AIDS, Promotion of water and sanitation/hygiene works together with Support on economic developments of households. The details of each of plan accomplishments are briefly highlighted below.

1.1 Improved Household Access to Education Services

Faster economic growth is dependent on accelerated development of human resources mainly enrollments of children into schools at their appropriate school age. Education is an investment for development of both the individual and the society. It is a means for building human capacity to develop, absorb and adopt new knowledge and thinking for the improvement of living conditions. In order to complement the effort of government and community, WVE ADPs’ have implemented the following main activities related to education. 1.1.1 Construction of Schools and Material Supports Sixteen (16) Primary schools, one secondary school and 35 additional blocks as well as 11 Child development centers were constructed. In addition, schools have been provided with required materials and equipments in order to enable them to effectively run their duties up to the required standards. Here, it is also worth mentioning that 58 KGs/pre-schools have been constructed and equipped with necessary child friendly materials. As a result of the availability of school facilities close to the community areas, many poor children who could

not have the opportunity to go to school were able to attend schools and families were encouraged to send children to school. Educational support for needy children (uniforms, school fees, scholastic materials…etc.) benefiting a total of 127,266 children (68,568 boys & 58,698 girls) has also been made as part of required support in all program areas.

Woreda Youth Association clubs with Sport materials supported by Abaya AD

1.1.2 Education Related Training Training on basic education was given to a total of 30,222 community members (18,047 male and 12,175 female), 7,087 government staff (4,694 male and 2,393 female) and 279 WVE ADP staff (194 male and 85 female) on formal & non-formal education related topics in order to increase their awareness on the value of education.

1.2 Food Security/ Agriculture

1.2.1 Support Extension, Demonstration and Conservation Works

To facilitate the community members and complement the government effort of the extension works at grass-root level and thereby reach more farmers, all WVE/ADPs have provided supports to extension and demonstration works. The support included provision of 8,285 kg of horticulture /vegetable seeds to 23,066 beneficiaries; 531,440 root crops cuttings to 1,769 beneficiaries; 4,027,160 fruit seedlings to 52,081beneficiaries; various farm tools that worth USD 56,651 to 5,592 beneficiaries; 3,020 live animals (cattle, equine, sheep and goat) to 12,981beneficiaries; 10,741 poultry to 5,290 beneficiaries. In addition to these, $72,575 financial support was given to enhance epidemic control support, and $84,506 to veterinary drug and equipments supports. Three veterinary clinics, 13

vet posts, 1cattle trough as well as 18 cattle crushes were also constructed during this fiscal year. It is an obvious fact that most of WVE/ADPs are characterized by degradation and unreliable rainfall that continuously causes food deficit to many households. Thus irrigation development was considered as better alternative options to increase agricultural production of the farming community and a total of 260 motorized irrigation water/tridle pumps benefiting 3667 persons were supported for irrigated land. In support of the traditional farming and rain-fed agriculture, the ADPs were involved in the promotion of small-scale irrigation activities. Here, a total of 29 traditional irrigation schemes benefiting 2,449 persons were upgraded by small scale irrigations. In an effort made to enhance agricultural production, depending on the potential and farmers’ experiences, ADPs have facilitated the small-scale/traditional irrigation development. To this end a total of 7668 target farmers (4048 male & 3620 female) have constructed/maintained 17 km of irrigation canal. In addition, a total of 130 hand dug wells benefiting 720 (380 male & 340 female)

persons have been constructed. Although it is hard to totally avoid food insecurity in the area, the irrigation practices have contributed to reducing the likely risk of drought by availing better water supply to farmers’ crops. As a result of this interventions, many households have been enabled to produce diversified irrigable crops both for market and own consumptions. Some of these crops include potato, fruit like orange and papaya, onion, cabbage, tomato and sugarcane depending on the potentials of the area.

1.2.2  Agricultural   Training To   enhance   and   update   the   technical   and managerial  capacity  of  the  community  members, government and WVE/ADP staff,  training was one of  the  strategies  implemented  during  the  fiscal year.  In  collaboration  with  Woreda  Agriculture Office,  capacity  building  training  was  given  to community members on agriculture related topics. Here,   various   training   was   given   to   31,733 community  members  (21,male  &  10,460  female); 2,554 government staffs (2,041 male & 513 female) and 57 WVE ADP staff (40 male & 17 female) have received training on agriculture related topics. The various  training  activities  that  aimed  at  raising awareness,  skill  transfer  and  dissemination  of practical knowledge were found to be effective. The Training  was  mainly  focused  on  food  security, general   agriculture,   afforestation   and   water conservation,  agro  forestry,  improved  irrigation practices,  horticulture  production,  bee  keeping, sustainable   agriculture,   animal   husbandry, participatory  planning  &  evaluation,  gender  and development  and  the  like.  These  have  enabled farmers to practice improved agricultural practices at large. 

Success  Story  1.  The  Undervalued  Apple  Fruit  has Now Become Dependable Source of Income    A proactive farmer, Tesfaye Fitawok, was one of the farm­ers who have adopted the production of apple. He and other Farmers  have  now  come  to  tell with  pride  that  they  are mesmerized by the income they get when growing apple in their backyards.   “Thanks  to World Vision  for  bringing  the  gold  equivalent crop  to our area”,  says Tesfaye with a  feeling of euphoria and appreciation to the ADP’s effort to change the  lives of many  people  in  the  area. He went  on  reiterating  that  no one  of  us  envisaged  the  current  bonanza  due  to  the  hus­bandry of the crop. Despite our resistance during introduc­tion of apple, the efforts of World Vision and our sceptical attempts have  turned out  to be vital and paying. Now we are sure that we are getting our profit and are knowledge­able to explain the gains more than anyone in the district.   “Production of apple seedlings is taken as gratifying task to get involved” Ato Tesfay added.  

The  discussion with  this  farmer  further  revealed  that  he and other  farmers are getting good  income. For  example, Tesfaye so far earned about 13,100 Birr from the sale of the fruit.   By virtue of  this he  is able  to build  two houses  that have roof of corrugated iron sheet. The construction of the two houses changed the way they live. In the past the chil­dren,  parents  and  guests  used  to  live  together with  their livestock  under  one  roof.  Interestingly,  now  parents  and children have their own rooms to live. Tesfaye said that this situation has improved their health condition and children having  lived  in  their  own  room,  enjoyed  privacy,  and  are able to get decent place to study and enjoy good health.

1.2.3 Environmental Protection/Rehabilitation

The registration of Humbo CMNFRP by the United N a t i o n F r a m e w o r k Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was an outshining achievement that attracted the attention of many donors , NGOs, Universities and government institutions. The project has been visited by a significant number of internal and external institutions and individuals. This project restores 2,728 hectares of natural forest and it is expected to sequester over 880,000 MT of CO2e over 30 years. The project is the first A/R CDM for Ethiopia and the largest in size for Africa.

Most Significant Change Story 1: Increased Vegetation Cover in Forest Area  In accordance with Midterm Evaluation Report, Project Phase: October 1, 2006­ September  30,2009  (3  years  implementation),  quantitative  assessment  of  the increase in biomass in vegetation is due to take place in 2011 for the purpose of estimating the amount of carbon sequestered, and hence the carbon off­set reve­nue earned.  Visual representation of the forest re growth achieved in 2010 can be compared with  the vegetation  cover  in 2002 as presented  in  the  following  con­secutive figures. 

 Humbo Mountain in 2002 Prior to Protection 

Humbo Mountain  in February 2002 before  forest was closed  to grazing and un­controlled  harvesting.  Note  that  residual  forest  cover  was  reduced  to  small patches such as in the valley as shown in the centre of the photograph 

 Humbo Mountain in 2010 after Four Years of Protection 

Humbo Mountain photographed from the same aspect in March 2010, at the time of the mid­term evaluation, four years after the beginning of FMNR and cessation of uncontrolled exploitation. Note complete cover of vegetation across the whole slope. The hazy quality of this photograph  is due to very dusty conditions at the time.  

The evaluation team visited the forest site to observe re growth and to take photo­graphs with GPS  coordinates  for  future  reference. The border of  the  forest was demarcated with a line of sisal plants, which will eventually grow large and close together,  providing  a  formidable  barrier  preventing  grazing  livestock  getting into the forest and preventing large wildlife from leaving the forest.

1.2.4 Increased Household Access to off -farm Income In addition to promoting agricultural production, helping farmers to have a diversified source of off-farm income was one of the most important areas to contribute towards ensuring food security. A diversified source of income build up the capacity of the community members by creating better access to cash money and helps to purchase basic needs, realize asset creation and increase access to social services. To this end, WVE/ADPs have facilitated interested community members to organize themselves into groups and get access to rural credit sources from locally available micro finance institutions. As a result, a total of 866 Social Groups (SGs)/Interest Groups (IGs)/Cooperatives were formed/strengthened and facilitated to get access to the credit sources. Various skill training was also organized on the bases of the potentials and identified needs and given to 2,155 community members (1,039 male and 1,116 female). In order to promote the off-farm business, one of the interventions in WVE ADPs’ operational areas was improving physical access. To this end, a total of 14 crossing structures/bridges that contribute for easy communication and helping community members get access to market and children to schools were constructed with participation of community. This has enabled the rural households to get better access to market outlets and social services. In addition, financial and material supports were provided to target groups to enable them establish and run MED business.

Success Story 2: ” Our Contact with WV has Helped us to Do Something  We Thought was Impossible and Make it Happen”                                         – Founding member of the enterprise.  

Climax  fruit  juice house was  started  in 2010 by a group  of  five young  entrepreneurs  (2  female)  to  providing  consumers  with fresh fruits and with the vision to support OVCs by providing dif­ferent school materials. 

Among  the  founding  members  of  the  Climax  Juice  house  are graduates  from various universities went over  three years with­out  a  job.  Two  of  the members  completed  high  school  but  they could not go further in their learning and they were not in a posi­tion to support themselves financially. 

Due to  lack of  job opportunity they were very  frustrated  in their life and they were not able to support them self and their families and totally dependent on their  families. As Wukro town  is small, government and private offices are very few to employ youths  in office work. These  five youngsters couldn’t get  financial  support even  though  they have an  idea  to  involve  in  the business  till  the intervention of WV, so that their problem was very serious. 

As  the ADP works  in collaboration with government offices, con­tact was started with  these youngsters  through  the Wukro  town Hayelom  kebele.  And  those  youngsters  come  up with  very  new idea of business in the town which can be considered as good in­come generating activates to attain food security and to give ser­vice to the community.  

Currently, Climaxes juice house gain ETB 15, 600 per month. The members have  their  own  job  classification  and  strong  financial structure and courage’s  team sprite. They have many customers which make their business profitable.  

After  the ADPs’  intervention,  the  lives of  these youth group have changed significantly in different dimensions. They were mentally dissatisfied as they were dependent on their parents for their ex­istence. Now, they have been earning daily income after the open­ing of the shop and are planning to support their own parents. On the other hand, they do have great hope for their future life,  fami‐lies  and  the  community  and  also  be  courageous  to  be  a  model  for many  youths  by  their  achievement.  Likewise,  they  can  generate money from their business which make them self sufficient and to be supportive to their families and their community financially. 

The  entrepreneurs’  business  plan  entails  expanding  their  business and  reach  high  profit  margin.  They  also  want  to  support  OVCs  by providing school materials, school fees in collaboration with different organization.

Success Story 3: Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) Approach as Solution to End Open Defeca-tion

 

The novelty of the CLTS approach is mobilization efforts focus on helping communities and individuals understand the health risks of open defeca­tion and use disgust and shame as  “triggers”  to promote action, which ultimately lead to the construction and exclusive use of locally­built low­cost household  latrines. The ultimate goal of CLTS  is communities  that achieve  and maintain  “open  defecation­free”  status  and  improved  hy­giene practices. 

 Ato Yohannis Eriso is living in Buligita kebele administration of Badawa­cho Woreda. He is 40 years old. Yohannis is sub­kebele leaders and Com­munity  Led Total  Sanitation  (CLTS)  committee member  of Buligita  ke­bele. He pointed out that before the intervention of CLTS by World Vision and local government; it wasn’t shame to defecate any where in the field and along public road side. He added “most of the household didn’t have their own latrine in our community. Most of our families and community members suffered from acute watery diarrhea, trachoma and intestinal worms. After using latrine, washing hands was not the habit of the com­munity. However, we didn’t know why we were suffering from these dis­eases. As a result  there was high expense  for medication  to  treat  these diseases.” 

 Ato  Yohannis  said, World Vision Ethiopia­Shone ADP in  collaboration  with woreda   government health  office  conducted strong awareness creation training and  field  trigger­ing  in  Buligita  kebele  on CLTS.  The  training  had included  kebele  leaders, religious  leaders,  volun­teer  health  promoters, kebele  level  government 

development  agents,  health  extension  workers,  school  directors,  CCC (Community Care Coalition) and World Vision Development workers and Sub kebele  leaders  including me. During  field exercise through walking we conducted mapping of open defecation sites; calculation exercises on amount of shits with village aimed at drawing villagers’ attention to the amount of  shits  they have been  ingesting, powerful emotions of  shame and disgust were triggered.

1.3.2   HIV/ AIDS 

Training on health and HIV&AIDS is given to 42,728 community members (23,678 male and 19,050 females); 3,334 government staff (2,175 male and 1,159 female) and 186 WVE staff (133 male and 53 female). Care and support was given to 86,469 OVCs (45, 322 male and 41,147 female) and 7,861 PLWHS (4,271 male and 3,590 female). A total of $33,989 financial support was also given to support IEC/BCC that serve about 66,478.

Most Significant Change Story 2: The trainings, Counseling and Encouragements has Mo­tivated him to teach other, and Break the Silence.   

  

One of the member of CCC is Ato Worku Yimer Ali, who is 52 years old man living in Tenta Woreda, Tenta Town.  Ato Worku and his second wife W/ro Muluwork Haile are living together. He has two children from his first wife and one child from second wife (one son is studying at college; the others are in grade 5, and 3). After chroni­cally ill, his wife dead, and Ato Worku took voluntary counseling and testing, and he came to know that he is HIV positive person. After continues medical  follow up,  the physicians advised him  to start  taking Anti Retroviral Treatment (ART) drug. During those  times the drug was available at Dessie and Akesta Hospitals only which are 132, and 65 kms away from his town consecutively, and the price of the drug was too expensive to afford. He was  then  forced  to sell his house, sewing machine, and bed  to regularly buy  the drug. Life with  the virus be­comes extremely difficult for Ato Worku and his children. He becomes hopeless, and his family totally lives des­perately, his lives deteriorate from time to time. 

  

In  those difficult  times, Adjibar ADP  identified Ato Worku  through  its Community development worker  in  its endeavor to advocate against stigma and discrimination. Considering the great silence of the community, and the damage HIV AIDS has been creating,  the ADP started  to support Ato Worku’s  to hospital  travel and drug expenses. Afterwards, the life of Ato Worku booming again and his children are becoming courageous. The ADP continued to give Ato Worku trainings about the modes of transmission of the Virus, how a person can live with the virus being productive, and how other can  live exposing  their HIV status, how stigma and discrimination contributes  for  further prevalence of  the virus. The  trainings,  counseling and  encouragements Ato Worku  is getting has motivated him  to  teach other, and break  the silence. Thus others people who  lives with  the virus started to expose themselves and joins Ato Worku, and their number increased from time to time. After a lot of counseling and  training  for other members, Ato Worku and his  colleague  finally established  “Tsenat” PLWH Association (Tsenat means endurance). The association has a total of 740 members out of these 391 are female. The association has strong relation with the ADP and other partners and actively working in the fight against HIV AIDS epidemic and for the well being of its members. He is also a member of CCC and participates in care and support for OVC.  

 

Ato Worku  has  then  started  new  life,  and  married  his second wife W/ro Muluwork Haile ( who is HIV positive). They get their son Yekoyesew Worku who is HIV nega­tive. Ato Worku’s life becomes exemplary, other HIV positive persons consider him as a model. Ato Worku has been living with the virus for the last 20 years, his influence is still powerful; his collaboration with the ADP is still  intact. Ato Worku by now has  two houses; he  is working  in  local NGO which  is working on HIV AIDS, his monthly salary is 1800 Birr, his wife is working in other organization as a member of Mother Support Group. Ato Worku said “World Vision Adjibar ADP is on behalf of God for me and my family”. This is not only the history of one man. But, through him and PLWH association, many are able to survive and live with hope and dignity.

1.4 Water & Sanitation/ Hygiene (WASH)

Ethiopia has one of Africa’s largest rural

populations and one of the lowest rates of coverage for improved water and sanitation. Safe water supply, availability and utilization of sanitation facilities, and improved hygiene practices result in a multitude of proven benefits that include reduced morbidity and mortality rates especially among children, reduced stunting and malnutrition, increased school attendance especially among girls, more time available to women, and many others. Activities related to water works and sanitations/hygiene (WASH) are undertaken to ease rural community’s suffering from water related diseases and higher workload on children and mothers related with fetching water from distant areas. Accordingly training was given on WASH to 26,130 (14,847 male and 11,283 female)

Most Significant Change Story 3: No more suffering from Water­

borne Diseases (Diarrhea) 

There are around 1000  students  learning  in Mesho Primary  school.   But  the students were using the unprotected Gina river water crossing the school com­pounds for drinking as well as cleaning purposes. As a result of using such un­protected water source, communities particularly children were suffering from water bore diseases such as diarrhea and other parasitic diseases. There were also cases where children drop out their school due to frequent illness. The case was  reported  to  be double  for  girls as  they  frequently  travel  to  fetch unpro­tected water from deep river gorge which sometimes exposes them to physical damage. 

 By  taking  this  community priority problem  into  consideration, Chencha ADP has conducted feasibility study on springs found in Mesho and neighboring KAs in FY’2010. The survey result revealed that Dambo sprig was found to be feasi­ble and could address this critical problem of community. It was the same year 

that the ADP has capped Mesho spring and constructed six water points from it. Due to the construction of water points increased number of treated and pro­tected springs has been realized which has a direct contribution for the attainment of improved community access to potable water.  

As a result of this; a total of 200 HH’s, 1500 students and 1000 RC are now getting 15litres  of potable water per day from a source located at less than  30 min­utes distance from their  houses and  school respectively. Occurrence of water bore diseased has also reduced and now children are enjoying with drinking pota­ble water, there by school attendance of children especially girls in Mesho School has increased. Consequently, it was possible to save their time and they are  now  free from fear of fetching water from river gorges which was exposing them to physical damage as well.

Grant and PNS WASH Activities In addition to the aforementioned sponsorship based WASH

interventions, the following comprehensive Grant and PNS WASH activities have also been accomplished under the coordination of WASH department as depicted in the following table. The WASH department came into being in October 2006 to manage the two huge WASH programs (EWSP and MWP) launched by World Vision Ethiopia and World Vision United States through Conrad N. Hilton Foundation funding to contribute for the wellbeing of the children, their families and the community. These programs had been designed to improve access to water and sanitation services simultaneously while providing inputs that are expected to lead to significant hygiene behavior changes in hand washing, water transport and storage,

and proper latrine usage among all age groups. The goal is not simply improved services and behaviors, but improvements that will be sustained for many years to come. Lasting impact will be achieved by responding to community demands and needs, fully integrating the program with local government plans and national policies, and building capacity at the community level and in the private and public sectors. Besides, the programs focus on the WASH needs of oftentimes forgotten segments of the vulnerable population - the disabled and the elderly too. So far, more than 350, 000 people benefited from these two programs and other similar projects implemented by the department in collaboration with ADPs, PrOs, government and other partners in the last four years since its establishment in October, 2006.

Furthermore, the department has now developed another five years huge WASH Program that can directly benefit more than 740,000 people from the improved services and practices, and increased skills and knowledge. Indirect beneficiaries include the hundreds of families of WASH businesses large and small that benefit by increased incomes from delivering needed services, and the families of WV and partner organization staff employed by the program or benefiting from training or payment for services

1.6 Emergency Response and Disaster Reduction

It is an obvious fact that Ethiopia is frequently threatened by disaster induced by drought and other factors. In the last twenty years, disasters have, at varying degrees, been occurring annually, costing heavily both in terms of lives and resources. On top of this, on February 2010, the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (GFDRE) released the Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) for 2010, identifying 5.23 million people in need of emergency food assistance in 2010. In

addition, an estimated 7.5 million chronically food-insecure beneficiaries currently receive food assistance and/or cash transfers from the GFDRE-managed Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP). FY’10 was a year of great effort and endeavors for WVE Humanitarian Emergency Assistance (HEA) division addressed problems associated with flooding, disease outbreak and food insecurity in World Vision Ethiopia operation and non operation areas. Simultaneously and continually tackles emergency situations to save lives and livelihoods, reduce social disruption and protect long term productive capacity of affected community. HEA has been implementing its emergency response and disaster risk management operations within the government pol icy framework through internationally accepted standards. The majority of HEA intervention programs mainly addressed the most vulnerable, the resource poor and the powerless members of the community in SNNPR, Amhara, Oromia, Tigray and Afar Regional States and Addis Ababa City Administration. Priority was given to most frequently at risk in disasters including women, children, older people, disabled people and people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH/A). The major areas of HEA interventions among others were mainly in areas of standard nutritional survey, emergency nutrition intervention, food aid, recovery activities through emergency food security program, pastoralist livelihood enhancement program through livestock support, flood response, emergency water and sanitation response, and disaster risk management programs implemented to improve lives and livelihood of 817,695 disaster affected communities. The programs were also implemented in more than 26 ADPs and 5 Non ADP woredas namely Bati, Raya Azebo, Mekdella, Boricha, and Boreda found in five regional states (SNNPR, Amhara, Oromia, Tigray and Afar) and Addis Ababa Administration. In sum, the HEA was able to step up its support of countrywide humanitarian responses in the different prioritized sectors. All emergency response and disaster risk management activities were

participatory where all partners intentionally involved at all levels to ensure quality, accountability and sustainability. Special efforts were made to ensure the participation of a balanced representation of people within the assistance program; including vulnerable and marginalized groups.

1.6.1 Food Aid response World vision Ethiopia has been handling food aid programs, other emergency interventions and responses in an adequate comportment. In connection with this the Joint Emergency Operation Plan (JEOP) is one of our emergency intervention programs which cover the largest share and area coverage during Fiscal year 2010. In addition to this, WVE has implemented supplementary feeding programs supported by different support offices and UN- agencies and WVE itself. World Vision Ethiopia has managed to distribute 30,863.05 MT of JEOP commodities for 708,533 beneficiaries as general food distribution and for emergency Nutrition program as targeted supplementary feeding. Additionally, a total of 1272.625 MT of JEOP commodities and 763.61 MT of supplementary food are in stock as of 25 Sept 2010 and have been carried over to FY 2011.

Adjibar, Humbo, Chencha, Western Abaya, Shashmene, Jille Tumuga and Kemissie ADPs. Here, the food ration per month per person was 8.3 kg of CSB and 1 Kg of oil for three consecutive months. On top of this, different human routine medicines and materials that worth USD 174,563 were purchased and supported to the target woredas health offices. As a result it was possible to treat more than 11,000 under five-year children with medical complications. In sum, during the reporting period, it was generally possible to address the emergency needs of 146,260 beneficiaries, of whom 24,380 are under five year children boys, 27,928 girls and 20,015 PWLMs, 29,590 adult male and 44,347 adult female.

1.6.3 Emergency Food security Intervention In order to curb the vicious circle of chronic malnutrition prevailing in food insecure operational areas, a total of 23,496 households (5,182 female headed households) most frequently affected were identified and supported with 8,391 Qt of Teff, Maize, Barley, Wheat, Haricot bean, Irish potato, different vegetable and forage seeds and 1.8 million cuttings of sweet potato so as to enable them break the circle and produce by their own to feed their families and met other social obligations.

"We are the most risk afflicted segment of the society. People knowingly or unknowingly harm us. Our hearts are immature. If people train us for good, we will bear sweet fruit if not our heart bears the  opposite,”  says  the  16­year­old  Liyuwork  Fasika,  the  chairperson  for  Gonder  Zuria District C h i l d   P a r l i a m e n t .  “Children were the targets of all forms of abuse and harmful traditional practices. Our peers were forced into marriage in their early ages; children were stolen and taken to remote areas for hard labour. Some children were raped and the abuser was not taken to legal court. Parents promise to each other to marry off their children when they in childhood and even whilst in the womb. Parents were mutilating  their child girls. Parents especially  from rural areas prefer  their children attend cattle to sending them to school," recalls Liyuwork.  

“All these issues were normal and cultural to me and my colleagues until we were given training on child rights and abuse. After the training, I learnt that all that seemed to me right was wrong, so I became the first to decide and become a member of child parliament,” Liyuwork happily explains. Gonder Zuria ADP has been by  the  child parliament's  side providing  them with  training, experi­ence, visits to experienced child parliaments and covers their activities budget. 

The child parliament was established in the district two years go. Since the day of its establishment, it has undertaken a number of encouraging child advocacy activities and emancipated a number of children from harsh abuse. Speaking of this, Liyuwork says, “We have done a number of worthwhile activities. We brought abduction, rape and child traffic cases to  the court and the offenders were penalized with money penalties  through  to 15 years  imprisonment. We also provided awareness training  to  a  number  of  people  on  child  rights. We  have  fought  harmful  traditional  practices openly.” 

The child parliament is closely working with the police office in fighting child abuse. “Child parlia­ment has become a useful support  for police officers and a right hand  for  the reduction of child abuse,” says Sergeant Amsal Baye, Gonder Zuria police office staff. “Whenever they see or hear ille­gal moves on children, they provide us with some hints and we follow the case before  it happens and take measure,” the sergeant explains.  

These days,  the  child parliament  is deeply rooted  in all  the kebeles  (the smallest administrative unit) of  the district.  It has established a child parliament committee consisting of 10  to 12 mem­bers. Whenever some kind of rumor on child rights violation is heard somewhere in any of the ke­bele, the child parliament committee of that kebele follows the case and reports to the higher offi­cials of that particular kebele. If kebeles officials don’t respond on time or ignore the case deliber­ately, the kebele child parliament committee reports to the district child right parliament. With no delay, the district child parliament  in collaboration with the district police office will take appro­priate decision on the abuser. 

The establishment of the child parliament is playing a significant role in reducing child rights viola­tion  and  harmful  traditional  practices.  “Our  involvement  has  brought  a meaningful  attitudinal change in the mind of the community. These days, there is no one in our district that openly prac­tices  child  rights  violations  or  harmful  traditional  practices,”  the  child  parliament  chairperson says. Children were  ignored and considered as worthless to contribute to the development of the society, but now we are given places at big meetings in the district to contribute our parts to any developmental endeavor,” she remarks.

project proposals that worth more than USD 1 Million were prepared and obtained fund from UN-OCHA, ECHO and WVUK and started responding to the post flood response and recovery activities in Jille Tumuga, Kemissie, Alamata, Raya Azebo, Afar and Mersa areas caused by Meher 2010 rains. In addition, different NFI and WASH items that worth more than 200,000 USD was purchased and distributed to 3,206 households (400 are female headed) displaced by flash floods and landslides happening in Kemissie and Mersa ADPs during August 2010.

1.7 Children in Ministry

During the fiscal year a series of trainings have been provided to staff at PrO and ADP level on the implementation of child development, protection, facilitation skills, child friendly environment and participation program frameworks. In addition, various IEC materials have been prepared and distributed in regards to child protection and participation to increase the awareness and capacity of staff.

Moreover, trainings were provided on proper parenting, developmental and protective needs of children to different community groups including parents, religious leaders, community elders, community child rights committee, teachers, community volunteers, children and government officials like law enforcing bodies, women affairs and education officials so that they will be enabled to expand the knowledge and practice to their respective members. Consequently, child led structures in the community have been strengthened through series of capacity building work.

Major Outstanding Achievements Awareness raising and capacity building trainings were provided to various community groups including parents, community leaders, religious leaders, teachers, government officials and law enforcing bodies on child abuse, exploitations and violence. The community have got the chance to

discuss about the child abuse problems in the areas and decided to work jointly to alleviate the problems. The trainings were provided to communities in 15 ADPs. Three ADP government offices have presented award of certificate of appreciation and materials to World Vision Ethiopia Children in Ministry in recognition of significant contribution in narrowing teachers’ gaps in quality education dimensions.

1.8 Nutrition, Health and HIV & AIDS Response It is evident that Ethiopia has poor health status relative to other low-income countries, which is largely attributed to preventable infectious diseases and nutritional deficiencies. Widespread poverty along with low income levels of the population, low education levels especially among women, inadequate access to safe water and sanitation facilities and poor access to health services contribute to the high burden of ill-health and death.

On the other hand, HIV and AIDS pandemic has impacted the urban and rural population of the country causing serious threat and challenges to the health and socio-economic development of the country. It is obvious that its impact is reversing social development gains, deepening food insecurity and poverty, competing with the national priority of expanding and maintaining essential services, reducing labor productivity and retarding economic development.

Based on these facts, the government of Ethiopia in partnership with international and national partners including World Vision Ethiopia is working hard to address the health and nutritional problems of the population particularly that of mothers and children

Page 27: World Vision Ethiopia Annual Report Of Fiscal Year 201010AnnualReport.pdf · Page 4 Fy’10 Annual Progress Report Executive Summary During fiscal year 2010, World Vision Ethiopia

Page 27 Fy’10 Annual Progress Report

thereby ensuring their wellbeing and optimal productivity. The fact that broader strategy of government toward addressing HIV and AIDS prevention, OVC care and support program and advocacy interventions available has also contributed to the WVE’s project goal and its objectives.

Regarding its responsibility and functions, the Nutrition, Health and HIV & AIDS Response division of WVE focuses on coordinating and facilitating the hope initiative, health and nutrition programs at national level to support program offices and ADPs. Building the capacity of the staff and partners, securing resources, providing technical supports to ADPs in planning, implementation and evaluation stages and maintaining smooth working relationship with donors, partners and stakeholders are major areas of focus.

Based on its strategic objectives and annual implementation plan, during the reporting fiscal year, the division has strived, in partnership with the government and many other local and international partners, to accomplish the planned activities using the available human and financial resources. As a result, it supports the efforts of ADPs in empowering children and adults to work with their communities to prevent HIV, care for orphans and vulnerable children and people living with HIV, reduce stigma and discrimination and advocate for access to services as well as changes in policies and structures that contribute to HIV vulnerability, particularly in HIV response programs, and in improving health and nutritional status of the children and mothers based on 7-11 programs and other health and nutrition projects.

Thus, during the reporting year the planned activities under sponsorship and a number of grant and private non-sponsorship projects were implemented in line with the child wellbeing outcomes.

1.9 Livelihood Security

The Livelihoods Security Department comprises four departments namely Development Grants and PNS, Food Security, Climate Change & Environment and Economic Development. The goal of the department is to improve households’ livelihoods & build resilience to shocks to enable them provide for their children in partnership with local stakeholders. The department provides oversight to food security; economic development, climate change and development grant initiatives across the program offices and render technical support to the pertinent sector officers located at PrOs in program designing, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The department also supports ADPs in the implementation of livelihoods initiatives.

1.10 Advocacy and Communication

It is pleasing to build and maintain the image of an organization still being committed to additional priorities. During fiscal year 2010, World Vision Ethiopia Advocacy and Communication Division has carried out a great many activities to enhance the

image of the organization while mainstreaming the national office’s advocacy priorities into the development programs and ensuring gender sensitivity of the organization through Advocacy,

II. WVE Management Hierarchies

WVE manages and closely follows-up the process of program execution, coordination, audit and M&E of integrated programs in-collaboration with other

relevant actors (government and community) in the framework of WV partnership guiding principles/polices and Ethiopian government polices.WVE has three management levels. These are: National/Head Office, Program Offices and ADP. The management focuses on financial, human, material management and program implementations at the three levels as stated below:

National Office Level Management of the organization is mainly responsible for overall program implementations and use of resources secured from various donors (private and public government sources) together with ensuring quality ministry. It sets guiding polices goals and objectives and develops strategies to achieve goals. It also monitors and ensures that the resources are effectively and efficiently used for the intended objectives through internal financial and operational audit controls and monitoring and evaluation of programs with concerned government line offices. In addition, it facilitates the networking and maintains relationships with WV partners and government office at federal and

regional levels. To deal with such cases, WVE

has established regulatory frame work

through periodic audit, monitoring visit, reporting and evaluations.

Program Office Level Management: There are seven Program Offices (PrOs) that coordinate and closely follow-up clustered ADPs and provide technical and management supports to the respective ADP staffs. The seven PrOs are located closest to ADPs operational areas (Mekele, Bahir-Dar, Kombolcha, Nekemte, Hawassa, Adama and Addis Ababa). PrO is mainly responsible to ensure and follow-up that ADPs are implementing the programs as per set organizational and government policies. It also coordinates and facilitates the networking with respective regional government
