The fertility rate in Ethiopia is very high. According to the 2000 EthiopianrnDemographic and Health Survey (EDHS) an Ethiopian woman gives birth onrnaverage to 5.9 children. Problems posed by high fertility rates and populationrngrowth have sparked studies of the factors determining contraceptive...
complementary foods prepared commercially are not available and if available, unaffordable forrnthe poor in developing countries. Thus, there is need of preparing weaning foods from locallyrnavailable raw materials such as cereal and legumes using simple technology. The objective ofrnthis paper is...

Ethiopia ranks first in Africa with the largest number of cattle populations adapted to diverse environments. Detection of selection signatures and assessment of linkage disequilibrium enable us to asses genetic diversity and genomic region under positive selections. However, in Ethiopian...
Understanding the rate of groundwater recharge is crucial to studies of water availability, wellhead protection, contaminant transport, ground-water and surface-water interactions, effects of urbanization, and aquifer vulnerability to contamination. The aim of this study was to determine the rate...
Provision of affordable housing to citizens is one of the biggest concerns of governments all across the world. The cost of housing in cities of Ethiopia is very high that it is impossible for most city to afford a quality house. The government is trying to provide affordable houses with good...
