try to develop some erosion control measures to reduce the negative impacts; however, the role of the women is not known and deserves to be
studied to understand how land degradation processes are mitigated. Hence, the main goal of this study is to identify the determinant variables
of women’s participation in soil and water conservation (SWC) practices in Shebel Berenta Woreda of Amhara Region in Ethiopia as a study case.
Mixed-research method with sequential explanatory research design was employed through survey questionnaire, interview, key informant interview, focus group discussion, and field observation as data collection methods since 2019. Descriptive statistics and a binary logistic regression
model were used to analyze the collected quantitative data. The result showed a significant number of respondents (86.4%) frequently participate in SWC, while 14.6% do not. Among those participated in SWC, 55.6%, 18.85 %, and 42.8% were highly involved in terracing, vegetation
cover, and compost preparation as a part of SWC practices, respectively. In addition, 50.4% has participated in decision making about SWC,
while 49.6% had not any involvement. The binary logistic regression model analysis shows widowed women (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=0.23,
95% confidence interval [CI]=0.001, 0.814, P=.038); are able to read and write (AOR=0.164, 95% CI=0.027, 0.995, P=.049); have secondary education and higher levels (AOR=0.139, 95% CI=0.022, 0.874, P=.035). Similarly, those who do not have farm land (AOR=0.263, 95%
CI=0.072, 0.964, P=.044); their lands do not show soil erosion (AOR=.043, 95% CI=0.006, 0.296, P=.001); have not discussions about SWC
(AOR=0.142, 95% CI=0.021, 0.952, P=.044); not receiving any advice to apply them (AOR=0.145, 95% CI=0.030, 0.694, P=.016) were
variables that determine women’s participation in SWC. Therefore, the local government should work on awareness transference, providing new
technologies, and building complete infrastructures to achieve better results of SWC
this study is to investigate the impact of smoking tobacco among Gumuz adolescents in Debatie District of Benishangul
Gumuz regional state of Ethiopia. It mainly focus’ on adolescents who use pipe or smokeless tobacco regularly.
Methods: The study employed qualitative research method with case study design. Purposive sampling was employed
to select participants of the study for in depth interview, focused group discussion, and key informant interview data
collection tools. The collected data was analyzed through thematic data analysis techniques.
Results: Smoking tobacco has a negative impact on people’s economy. The economic ability of Gumuz adolescents is
unable to fulfil basic needs: food, clothing and stationery materials due to the inability to save money through tobacco
addition. The result also indicated the social impact of tobacco such as addictions, an aid for alleviating stress, tiredness
and fatigue, hygiene problem and limited social interaction. Principally, it has an impact on mental and physical health
such as the physical change, yawning, cancer, coughing, stress, headache, diabetes, watering of their eyes and loss of
appetite. It also impacts on their education from a lack of attention, failure to attend classes and a low enrolment rate
in schools.
Conclusion: From the findings, it can be deduced that, the habits of smoking tobacco among Gumuz adolescents
victimized for economical loses, limited social capital, hygiene and health problems. Therefore, attention should be
given from this study area through conducting project and research, providing community awareness programmes and
education for immediate health interventions.
