Tez, iki ülkenin (Türkiye ve Etiyopya) ticaret ve yatırımdaki karşılaştırmalı ilişkisini incelemektedir. Türkiye ile Etiyopya arasındaki geleneksel ticaret varsayımına ve doğrudan yabancı yatırımlara (DYY) paralel ve karşılaştırılabilir düzeydeki zorluklara ve Fırsatlara bakyor. Doğrudan yabancı yatırımın niteliğine ve işlevine dayanarak, doğrudan yabancı yatırımın hem Türkiye'nin üretimini hem de Etiyopya ile bağımsız ticaretini destekleyen tarafsız bir sermaye akışı olduğunu savunmaktadır. Bu nedeniyle doğrudan yabancı yatırım üretim ve dağıtımda ticareti desteklemektedir. Ardından, ticaretin sırasıyla DYY ve DYY üzerindeki ticaret etkisini vurgulamaya çalışır. Bu Tez ayrıca, DTÖ rejimi altındaki İkili Yatırım Anlaşmasını tartışarak önerilen İkili anlaşması'nin uyumlu olduğunu gösteriyor. Son olarak, ilişkideki zorlukları ve fırsatları belirlemeye çalışmaktadır. Ticaret ve DYY, kısıtlayıcı ve hem ticareti hem de DYY'yi çarpıttığı ve dolayısıyla yerel ve ekonomik refahı azalttığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu nedenle, hükümetler kısıtlayıcı ve teşvik edici ticaret ve DYY'yi düzenlemeler yapmaya çalışmalıdır. ; The thesis examines the comparatıve relation of the two countries (Turkey and Ethiopia) in trade & investment. The thesis challenges the conventional postulate of trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) as parallel and comparable between Turkey and Ethiopia. Based on the nature and function of FDI, it argues that FDI is a neutral capital flow that underpins both Turkish production and independent trade with Ethiopia, and therefore, FDI always supports trade in the production and distribution among them. Then, it tries to highlight the impact of trade on FDI and FDI on trade respectively. The thesis also argues for a Bilateral Agreement on Investment (BAI) under the WTO regime, and demonstrates that the proposed BAI is compatible with the WTO regime. Finally, it tries to identify factors challenges and opportunities in the relation. It concludes that trade and FDI, restrictive and incentive, trade and FDI restrict or distort both trade and FDI and therefore reduce domestic and economic welfare. Therefore, governments should abandon restrictive and incentive trade and FDI.

Ethiopia's National Meteorology Agency (NMA), under the support of the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), through the project Adapting Agriculture to Climate Today, for Tomorrow (ACToday), is working together with the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) in East Africa to address the needs and demands of different stakeholders including governmental, non-governmental organizations and other non-state actors by conducting staff training to improve the generation of reliable, timely and accurate weather and seasonal forecasts. An interactive training took place from January 11-15, 2021 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with the participation of 26 NMA staff members selected from Regional Meteorological Service Centers and from the NMA Head Office, using local capacity and technical support from IRI and CCAFS East Africa.

Training on weather forecasting tools and techniques is a fundamental requirement for meteorological services to improve the accuracy and reliability of weather and climate forecasts. These tools greatly support the generation and packaging of forecasts that are destined for private and public consumption. Ethiopia's National Meteorological Agency (NMA), under the support of the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), through the project Adapting Agriculture to Climate Today, for Tomorrow (ACToday), is working together with the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) - East Africa (EA) to address the needs and demands of different stakeholders including governmental, non-governmental organizations and other non-state actors by conducting staff training to improve the generation of reliable, timely and accurate weather and seasonal forecasts. With the support of the IRI and CCAFS - EA, training on the Next Generation (NextGen) seasonal forecasting was given from January 11-15, 2021, to 26 participants from the National Metrological Agency of Ethiopia (NMA). Participants were selected from NMA's Regional Meteorological Service Centers (RMSC's) and NMA head office. The Next Generation (NextGen) multi-model approach is a general systematic approach for designing, implementing, producing, and verifying objective climate forecasts. It involves identifying decision-relevant variables by stakeholders and analyzing the physical mechanisms, sources of predictability, and suitable candidate predictors (in models and observations) for key relevant variables. When prediction skill is high enough, NextGen helps select the best dynamic models for the region of interest through a process-based evaluation and automizes the generation and verification of tailored multi-model, statistically calibrated predictions at seasonal and sub-seasonal timescales.

Around 922 million of them were using either modern or traditional methods of family planning. Women with disabilities comprise 10% of worldwide women and three-quarters of them reside in low- and middle-income countries.Objective: The purpose of this study was designed to assess the magnitude and associated factors for family planning methods use among reproductive-age women with disabilities in Arba Minch town, southern Ethiopia.Patients and Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 418 reproductive-age women with disabilities. Data were collected with eight women who had completed grade 12 and two of them were proficient in sign language. The data were entered into Epi-info™ version-7 software and exported into SPSS version 20 for analysis. A statistically significant variable in the final model was declared by adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 95% confidence interval (CI) and p-value < 0.05.Results: The magnitude of family planning utilization among reproductive-age women with disabilities was 33.7%. Factors significantly associated with family planning use were being employed (AOR: 2.2, CI: 1.77– 4.15), having positive attitudes (AOR: 2.3, 95% CI: 1.21– 3.87) and marital status (AOR: 3.9, 95% CI: 2.31– 6.63).Conclusion: The magnitude of family planning use among reproductive women with disabilities was low. Attitude, marital status, and being employed were significantly associated factors with family planning use. Therefore, the governmental and non-governmental organizations should work to change their attitude and creating job opportunities.Keywords: family planning utilization, reproductive age, disability

This roadmap is developed based on a context analysis of Ethiopian agriculture. The roadmap aims to strengthen the role of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) in addressing vulnerabilities facing the agriculture sector under changing climatic conditions by institutionalizing climate-smart agriculture. The roadmap is largely informed by the overarching country Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) strategy; review of scientific literature; sectoral documents on Ethiopian agriculture and climate-smart agriculture; and related reports from government, development partners, scientific publications, expert comments on the draft and inputs obtained from several senior experts on two presentations made during climate-smart agriculture platform meetings conducted in May and November 2019.
