Full textThis study attempts to explore the livelihoods and survival strategies of migrant children who live on the street or make a living on street based activities in Addis Ababa. It also depicts and analyses the forces behind children’s migration, their encounters and experiences while attempting to cope with the new environment. Structuration theory and livelihood approach were employed as a theoretical framework to address the research problem. Children form a part of the structure of the society, and as actors are struggling to adjust themselves to livelihood constraints. These theoretical frameworks helped to make a more realistic understanding of factors that shape the lives of street children within their society and of how they cope with and/or survive. On the other hand, research with street children can further our understanding or significantly contributes to theories of agency and competency and of risk and resilience. Giddens’ structuration is ontological in its orientation and focuses on theorizing human agency which in turn calls for in depth understanding of the lived experience of individuals. To better understand children and portray their everyday street life, various qualitative data collection methods: participant observation, key informant in-depth interview, focused group discussions have been employed. Giddens’ sees qualitative and quantitative methods as complementary rather than antagonistic aspects of social research. To this end, this study carried out a survey with a sample of fifty street children in four core areas of the city.
Although the problem of street children is understood as an urban phenomenon, the factors exacerbating the problem have their origin in the rural villages. This study confirms that determinants of rural children’s migration to Addis are not dominated by a single factor but caused by a combination of multiple interrelated factors. Chronic livelihood poverty in rural areas of the country which traditionally relied upon subsistence farming, in general, leads children to move to cities to find economic niches in the low paid informal sectors of urban areas. Once in the city, they have to struggle to survive, develop and integrate into the urban environment. As individual case studies implied, children who live on the street do not form a homogenous category. Nor do they earn their living similarly. Rather they adopt a range of survival strategies to confront the challenges of urban street life.
Street children draw diverse forms of assets or resources in the process of earning their livelihoods. Labor is the most important asset which helps street children either to generate income directly through wage employment or indirectly through the production of goods and services which are sold in the informal market. Street children engaged in legal, semi legal and/or illegal activities in order to earn income. Street children often do not have fixed carriers and they usually jump over opportunities often favoring the most rewarding in a particular time. Their livelihood depends on the efforts of a combination of portfolios of activities. Street children interact with each other through multiple networks and over the range of issues and concerns that constitute social life. Although they are economically disadvantaged; they have supportive social networks which act as a buffer against vulnerability, shocks and livelihood constraints. The informal networks support children socially, morally, economically and remain resilient feature in their street life. As survival requires grouping, their relations and way of life is characterized by hierarchies and power relations. The informal network established by street children extends to non-street social actors. In these interactions street children attempt to draw benefits and at the same time want to establish trust.

Full textThis thesis deals with the constraints facing the system of urban passenger transport in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) in a context of rapid urbanization and economic growth marked by the local effects of globalization. It analyzes the complex combination of factors which determine the urban mobility in Addis-Ababa: a burgeoning city of the least developed country struggling with various symptoms and manifestations of mass poverty. The thesis is based on mixed method research with its concurrent triangulation variant as well as social concepts, theories, essential ideas related to urban planning and transport issues. The study revealed that the rapid urbanization that is either not; or poorly controlled by the public authorities has impacted transport service provision. The thesis analyzes the institutional bottlenecks, in particular the lack of coordination, integration and synergy within the public sphere in charge of urban transport service delivery. It puts emphasis on the crucial importance of social exclusion (50% of the population in absolute poverty threshold), 70% of the inhabitants of Addis-Ababa that can move only on foot and in a situation of serious deficiencies of the requisite of the passenger transport infrastructure. It offers avenues of reflection and action to try to resolve the issue of transport in the capital

Full textYtvatten blir globalt allt mer en knapp resurs och i Addis Abeba, huvudstaden i Etiopien, har flodernas vattenkvalitet under många år försämrats på grund av antropogen påverkan. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka orsaker och påverkan på ytvattenföroreningar i floderna Kebena och Akaki. Den tekniska aspekten av studien inkluderar vattenanalyser av parametrarna E.coli, fosfat, nitrat och totalt ammonium kväve som utfördes på 34 olika provtagningsplatser i västra delen av Great Akakis avrinningsområde. Den andra aspekten var att utvärdera myndigheters och företags perspektiv på vattenkvalité, flodvattnets användningsområden och framtida planer för förbättring av föroreningsgraden i floderna. Ett annat perspektiv var att intervjua hushåll och lantbrukare angående deras bild av ytvattenanvändning, om vattenkvaliteten och hälsorisker. Studiens huvudsakliga upptäckt är en genomgående hög föroreningsgrad i stadens flodvatten. Föroreningen består till största del av avlopp och avfall från hushåll, kommuner och industrier. Koncentrationerna av E.coli överskred WHO:s gränsvärden. Halterna av fosfat och totalt ammoniumkväve indikerade övergödning. Nitratvärdena visade lägre halter än förväntat och därmed ingen påvisad hälsorisk. Intervjustudien med myndigheter, hushåll och lantbrukare påvisade att ytvattnet mest används för bevattning av åkermark. Lantbrukarna uppfattade en liten till medelhög hälsorisk med denna användning, medan myndigheter ansåg att lantbrukarna utsattes för en hög risk. Därför är ett starkare samarbete mellan myndigheter och samhället viktigt. Dessutom behöver implementationen av förbättringsåtgärder förbättras och alla aktörer måste göras ansvariga för sina handlingar. En fortsatt övervakning av föroreningar och ett multi-disciplinärt arbetssätt vid avfall- och avloppshantering kommer att vara till hjälp vid förbättring av vattenkvaliteten i floden.

Full textThis thesis explores the evolving place of forest areas in a changing African capital. Eucalyptus has been introduced in Addis Ababa more than 100 years ago in order to meet the locals' demand for timber as well as wood fuel. This urban and suburban forest was planted together with the capital's population growth. Yet, the new planning choices made by local authorities promote the advance of a vertical built environment, which is not anymore consistent with the proximity of those productive green areas. Moreover, this variety is highly criticized for its alleged harmful impacts on the environment. This study seeks to give an account of the duality that arise between the will to provide the Ethiopian capital with a modem image and the continuity of popular forestry practices at work on those forest areas. The analysis is based on a qualitative survey of urban authorities and stakeholders of the "eucalyptus' chain" strategies and explores the new environmental practices in Addis Ababa. The over-representation of international stakeholders in the city is an ideal vector for the promotion of global narratives which influence the local authorities' perceptions of that tree. Indeed, local authorities promote some specific functions for the forest, while controlling the access to the resource and the practices linked to the eucalyptus. The tensions that drive the urban authorities' planning choices highlight the difficulties in reconciling environmental and economic stakes in Addis Ababa

Full textAddis Ababa, with an area of 540 km2 and with population of 3.1 million people is experiencing a rapid pace of socio-economic and physical transformation. The city is not only the political, commercial, economic and financial hub of the country but also an international city serving as the seat of the African Union and various international organizations. Alike many African Cities, Addis Ababa has been undergoing a high rate of urbanization. This process of rapid urbanization has resulted in the increase in the size of the population and the physical expansion of the city. As a consequence, travel demand and length of the trip are increasing. Transportation plays a key role in determining the socioeconomic development and shaping the spatial development framework of the city. Equally important, transportation as derived demand is also a fundamental means for residents to fulfill their various activities. In Addis Ababa motorization, although on the increase, is low and public transportation is the most important mode of motorized mobility for the large majority of the city’s population. There are various formal and informal operators of the public transport mainly operating on individual basis. It is estimated that there are over 18,000 public transport vehicles that are daily running in Addis Ababa, most of them low capacity vehicles. Despite its importance, the public transport sector not only suffers from shortage, insufficient capital investment, and until recently lack of clear governmental policy and leadership but also from the absence of integrated approach to its operation, planning and management.Many cities in the North have embarked on integrating the provision of public transportation for nearly half a century now. In these cities, integration in public transportation has been recommended as a viable instrument for providing high quality and seamless urban transport and enhancing sustainable urban development. African cities which are characterized by their high urbanization rate, low level of private car ownership, deficient public transportation system and significant financial constraints lack public transportation integration experiences. The question is then ‘how do African cities replicate and implement public transport integration practices?’ that have been originally developed for the Cities of the North. The thesis attempts to answer this question and analyses the different forms of public transport integration. It then proposes a framework for implementing integrated public transport as a sustainable means of urban mobility in Addis Ababa

Full textIntroduction The Human Resource Strategic Plan of the Ethiopian Ministry of Health lists current health workforce problems as a high attrition rate among public service physicians, poor human resource management, non-conducive working conditions and high workloads. In Addis Ababa's public hospitals, the turnover of physicians is high and - as repeatedly and informally reported by hospital managers - the presence of the contributory factors listed above are also anecdotally thought to be present. These factors present a serious challenge to the delivery of high quality health care services and their presence indicates that the job satisfaction of physicians is likely to be low. However, factors responsible for job dissatisfaction among physicians and their implications for staff turnover have not been studied or documented in the context of Ethiopia's health system. It was this scenario that motivated the researcher to conduct this study in order to assist policy makers in taking appropriate actions, if and as required. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the level of job satisfaction, the factors influencing job satisfaction and the consequences of job satisfaction among physicians in public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Objectives: • To describe the job satisfaction levels of physicians in public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia • To identify factors affecting the job satisfaction levels of physicians • To assess possible consequences linked to physicians' job satisfaction levels. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure job satisfaction, composed of 65 individual variables grouped within 13 dimensions and adapted to the Ethiopian context from the Job Descriptive Index and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. An additional questionnaire was used to assess socio-demographic variables and the possible consequences of low job satisfaction. Analysis: A composite job satisfaction score was obtained by summing the individual answers for each of the variables to assess overall job satisfaction. Bivariate analysis was undertaken, using 2X2 tables (with 95% confidence intervals) to calculate the prevalence ratio for each of the potential causes and consequences of low job satisfaction, using the composite score cut-off levels of job satisfaction. Multivariate analysis was undertaken to obtain the adjusted prevalence odds ratios for both the potential causes and consequences of low job satisfaction, using multiple logistic regression analysis.

Full textThis study is about the intervention of the Addis Ababa City Government in regulating door-to-door solid waste collection activity, which was handled by the pre-existing informal solid waste collectors. The intervention was done by organizing and integrating government sponsored Micro and Small Scale Enterprises (MSSEs). Thus, the study examines how the pre-existing informal solid waste collecting actors were organized and functioning; the intentions of the intervention; the responses of the informal solid waste collecting actors and its implications on the existing interactions among various actors in the power matrix of solid waste collection.
The actor-oriented approach is adopted as a theoretical framework in order to address the problems at hand. The actor-oriented approach has an analytical power in examining how external interventions entered into the life worlds of actors, mediated, incorporated and often substantially transformed by the ongoing interactions that take place between the pre-existing actors and the newly intervening MSSEs. Moreover, it signifies how actors in the solid waste collection are involved in a series of `battles´ over resources, institutional legitimacy and control. Methodologically the actor-oriented approach presupposes in-depth understanding of the lived experiences of individuals. Accordingly, this study depends on qualitative techniques. The study focuses on three selected enterprises from the informal, private formal and MSSEs. Apart from this, the views of individuals from other similar enterprises were considered so as to get a more comprehensive picture of the problem.
Door-to-door solid waste collection as an employment sector has drawn the attention of the provisional city government since it’s very set up in 2003. Consequently, the city government organized and integrated several MSSEs without due consideration of the pre-existing informal solid waste collectors who have accumulated experience and knowledge in the sector. This study also evidenced that the integration of the MSSEs is a more politicized intervention driven by merely boosting the employment figure and ensuring political control. The pre-existing informal solid waste collectors react to the government intervention in different ways; among others, conflicts, competition and cooperation against the MSSEs and rarely negotiations are worth mentioning. The rivalry interactions and intense competition between the pre-existing and newly integrated MSSEs adversely affected the revenues of the enterprises and the working environment as a whole. The MSSEs who are obviously operating based on loans from formal financial institutions are less likely to pay back their debt and simultaneously to finance the wages of the operators. So that the MSSEs are highly susceptible to disintegration and of course many do so. Consequently, the city government is trapped within the cycle of organizing and integrating many new MSSEs into the sector while others are getting dissolved. This calls for a more inclusive intervention with sound understanding of how the pre-existing informal solid waste collecting enterprises have been operating and keen identification of the strengths and weaknesses of the existing system. Moreover, politicising such interventions for the sake of advancing other interests complicates the problem than do as part of the solution.

Full textClarifying the nexus between leadership and organisational effectiveness across the world remains a significant challenge that has raised robust scholarly debate. A wide range of conceptual models have been provided on effective leadership. But, at the global level few empirical studies have been done to examine transformational leadership in the context of Non-Government Organisations (NGOs). In line with the leadership theory and conceptual framework, this study sought to analyse members' perception of their leaders, using a case study NGO in Addis Ababa. The researcher employed both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative methodology used questionnaire surveys based on the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire to assess the dominant leadership style within ANOPA+. Qualitative methodology was applied through semi-structured interviews, in order to deepen the understanding of the existing leadership style based on the members' perception of the organisation. The results of the study indicated that transformational leadership motivated followers to attain more than they thought possible, by appealing to followers self-esteem and inspiring them to go beyond self-centered interests. In addition, the research process identified five important gaps that impede the successful implementation of ANOPA+'s programme. First, this study revealed that ANOPA+ leaders failed to use, or lacked a proper understanding of, transformational leadership skills. Second, this empirical research, discovered that the dominant leadership style within ANOPA+ was transactional leadership. Third, this research confirmed that there was no statistically significant difference between the perception of staff and volunteers regarding the leadership style within ANOPA+. Fourth, the field data assessment showed that HIV/AIDS status is the crucial criterion for appointment as a leader in ANOPA+. However, ANOPA+ members believed that effective leaders should have a combination of the knowledge, skills and competencies that followers can use to perform their day-to-day work. Fifth, the study identified that the appointment of women in leadership positions within ANOPA+ is very low. Within the context of the above mentioned analysis, the study finally brings into focus general observations gained from the investigation and provides recommendations to policy makers and other stakeholders.

Doctoral thesis, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Department of Urban Design and Planning, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:no:ntnu:diva-2113.
Full textAbout eighty percent of Addis Ababa’s settlements are considered “slum”. The study examines the phenomenon of urban upgrading in tenant-dominated non-planned inner-city settlements of the city. It focuses on tenants’ responses and spatial transformations. The phenomenon is investigated through the analysis of case studies located in three localities. The data are primarily collected through qualitative techniques supplemented by a quantitative technique. The investigation is carried out from the perspective in which upgrading is viewed as a process embedded in a dynamic context, rather than a decontextualised static project. Based on the case studies analytical generalizations are made. The study found neither the theories that assert the non-responsiveness of tenants nor the ones that emphasize the sole role of tenure security explain the reality and the needs of tenant-dominated settlements. The relationship among improved property rights, legal frameworks and grassroots organizations are rather found to be central in both stimulating tenants’ responses and curbing uncontrolled spatial transformations. The advantages of social network, connected to indigenous voluntary associations, are also found to be very instrumental in motivating and mobilising tenants. The study also found exclusion-right, in addition to the often emphasized use- and transaction rights of housing, as an important element, not only in unleashing the resources of low-income dwellers, but also in engaging them in upgrading processes. Equally important finding is the way the housing rights/values are manipulated to both avoid gentrification and sustain upgrading processes. Upgrading paradoxes, related to both uncontrolled spatial transformations and the need of the individual and the collective, are revealed and their possible remedy is indicated. The substantive findings are abstracted into generative themes, namely, triggers of change, trigger-based grassroots organizations and actors’ relationships. A trigger-based upgrading process is suggested and recommendations are put forward that lead to a differentiated and flexible policy.

Full textBackground: Nurses who care for terminally ill and dying patients are daily confronted with underlying emotions such as grief and frustration including ethical and cultural dimensions. In a more person-centered, multicultural healthcare environment, the expectations and demands on nurses' professional knowledge increases. Aim: The purpose of this study is to elucidate Ethiopian nurses' experiences of patients expressions of guilt and shame in palliative care in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and to illustrate subsequent nursing actions. Methods: The study is based on nurses' experiences. Focus group data were collected during the spring of 2013, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Recorded audio data was transcribed and analyzed in accordance with qualitative systematic text condensation. Results: Nurses' experiences show that guilt and shame associated with incurable disease is closely related to past life deeds. Nurses' reported that patients often interpret diseases to their life choices and actions. Guilt and shame could, according to the nurses be both culturally and individually determined. The agony was sometimes seen to lead to social and existential isolation. The nurses’ role was confirmatory and supportive. Conclusions: This study shows Ethiopian nurses' experiences to seriously ill and dying patients expressing guilt and shame that can lead to isolation. Nurses' awareness of existential agony from the cultural perspective can promote a person-centered care at the end of life.

Full textI detta kandidatexamensarbete har ett förslag tagits fram på en lösning för ett förnybart energisystem på Addis Ababa Institute of Technology (AAiT). Syftet med ett förnybart system är att huvudbelastningen ska täckas av solenergi och andra källor ska fungera som sekundära energikällor då det råder brist på energi från huvudkällan. Systemets primära energianvändning är dimensionerat för att täcka energianvändningen av utomhusbelysning på AAiTs campus under natten. Då strömavbrott är regelbundet förekommande i Addis Ababa, Etiopien, är systemet anpassat för att kunna förse de administrativa kontoren på AAiT med elektricitet vid den typen av händelse. Potentialen av solenergi i Addis Ababa bestämdes baserat på genomsnittlig månadsdata för solstrålning tillhandahållen av NASA. Med hjälp av simuleringar baserade på strålningen mot en horisontell yta har den optimala vinkeln för solpanelernas montering bestämts. Dimensioneringen av utomhusbelysningen fastlades utifrån vilken belysningsstyrka området kräver baserat på dess användningsområde under natten. Det gav det totala energibehovet som solcellssystemet behövde täcka. Fyra backup-lösningar till solcellssystemet undersöktes för att finna den optimala lösningen: batteri, dieselgenerator, hybrid system med batteri och dieselgenerator samt batteri och uppkoppling mot elnätverket. Den primära kraftkällan i de fyra systemen var solpanelerna. Sammansättningen av komponenterna modellerades i mjukvaran The Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER). Det mest prisvärda systemet kunde hittas genom att nuvärdet av investeringen och kostnaden av energi per kWh beräknades. En känslighetsanalys utfördes på de två mest relevanta systemen: batteri och dieselgenerator som backup samt batteri och elnätverket som backup. Känslighetsanalysen innefattade variationer i dieselpris, inköpspris av solpaneler och landets nationella elnätspris. Det mest effektiva systemet bedömdes utifrån dess investeringskostnad och dess möjlighet att förse universitetet med nattbelysning. Ett önskemål var att täcka eventuella strömavbrott. Baserat på resultaten visade det sig att ett solcellssystem med elnätverket som backup ger den mest lönsamma investeringen. 53% av systemets energigenerering kom från solenergi, och de resterande 47% från elnätet som är helt drivet av vattenkraft. Den slutliga förnybarhetsfaktorn blev därför 100%. Investerings nuvärde är $ 32 548 och har en energikostnad på 0,127 $/kWh. Systemet klarar även att täcka eventuella strömavbrott under dagtid för att sedan kunna köpa ytterligare elektricitet under natten för att täcka den eventuella förlusten av solenergi som istället gick åt till att förse kontoren med el under dagen. En ekonomisk prognos togs fram för att kunna göra en rättvis bedömning av investeringens återbetalningstid. Den ekonomiska utvärderingen inkluderade en prognostisering av prisutvecklingen på elektricitet i Etiopien. Bedömningen var att tariffen kommer att bli mer än dubbelt så hög (233%) som dagens tariff för inrikes bruk inom livstiden för solcellssystemet vilken är 25 år. Detta för att motsvara den exporttariff som landet idag säljer för, vilket resulterade i en årlig ökning på 3,45%. För en mer omfattande känslighetsanalys jämfördes den årliga kostnaden för investeringen med en energianvändning från elnätet vars elpris ökas med 6,90% årligen. För att hitta återbetalningstiden för investeringen användes MATLAB som program för simuleringarna. Återbetalningstiden skulle vara uppnådd inom solpanelernas livstid om elkostnaden ökar med 6,90% årligen. Återbetalningstiden för det slutgiltiga systemet med solpaneler, inverterare, batteri och elnätet som backup-lösning hamnade på 22 år.

Full textIntroduction: 1.2 million people live with HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia, but with correct interventions a HIV positive pregnant woman can reduce the risk of infecting her baby to below 5 %. Nevertheless, a majority of HIV positive patients experience stigma from healthcare professionals, which can lead to a reduced life quality. Healthcare professionals’ understanding of stigma and knowledge about HIV is necessary in order to develop strategies to reduce this stigma. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate HIV positive women's experience of stigma from healthcare professionals during pregnancy and childbirth in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Method: A descriptive study with a qualitative method was used. Seven HIV positive women who had received maternity care in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia participated and were chosen through a convenience sample. Structured interview questions were used and data were analyzed by using qualitative content analysis. Travelbeés theory of care and cognitive model of AIDS-related stigmatization were used as theoretical framework. Results: Three categories were identified in this study: Negative reactions from health care professionals, Non-presence of stigma and Education from healthcare professionals. The majority of the participants had experienced an event of HIV- related stigma from healthcare professionals. These HIV positive women felt as if they were treated differently because of their diagnosis and they experienced the professionals’ fear of becoming infected. However some of the HIV positive women who were interviewed felt they had also experienced situations where no stigmatization was shown by healthcare professionals. All the woman who were interviewed had received information about the HIV virus, how it´s spread and what medication is used as treatment. Conclusion: Stigma from healthcare professionals among HIV positive woman exists. Health care professionals have a responsibility to reduce stigma by providing care that gives women the sense of being equally treated and respected. Improvements are needed in the education of healthcare professionals so that they can develop an understanding of stigma as well as an understanding of how their own stigmatizing behavior can be reduced when caring for HIV positive women.
