children affairs is conducting and monitoring women’s affairs activities at the national level and creating an environment for the implementation of the NPW in different sectors. At regional, zonal, woreda, and kebele levels, there are respective offices (at Kebele level, usually individuals are assigned in lieu of an office). On the other hand, those situated in line sectors/ministries are mandated to identify issues of gender gaps and develop strategies to address inequalities in the respective line ministries and their sub-sectors. The Women’s Affairs Offices are formally accountable to their respective councils, many of which have women’s affairs or social affairs committee that are engaged in oversight activities. The plans included steps to enhance rural women’s access to and control over productive resources like land, extension, and credit. 3.2.6 Rural Development Policy and Strategy The Agriculture Development-led Industrialization’s (ADLI’s) core tenet is that increased agricultural productivity is the engine for both agricultural and industrial growth. That is, through the use of Green Revolution technologies, the low productivity of traditional Ethiopian farming systems would be substantially improved. The ADLI is reflected in the Rural Development Strategy (2001), which further stresses the role of increased agricultural production as the basis for the country’s development. The strategy is driven by the quest for ensuring food security and enhancing rural employment opportunities. The Strategy is made up of eight building blocks; namely, Technology generation and dissemination; Food security, including resettlement and water harvesting; Agricultural extension and vocational training; Agricultural marketing (of inputs and outputs); Rural finance; Development of cooperatives; Rural transport; and Rural land administration and management. In most of the building blocks, environmental considerations are included in an implicit manner. Explicit consideration is rather given to the need to sustain production through use of appropriate technologies, development of tailored extensions and trainings to agro-ecological zones, and sustainable land management and land use. Resettlement, is included under the food security block, also includes the need for careful assessment of land resources and disease problems in the resettlement sites. It also calls for communities to take responsibility for environmental protection and rehabilitation within resettlement areas.
Special Zone, adjacent to Addis Ababa. Endode is not only close to Addis Ababa but also situated next to a new railway terminal. Therefore, as part of this ESIA study, the team conducted a comprehensive assessment to compare Modjo Dry Port with Endode Dry Port using eight key social and environmental factors, the results of which are summarized in Table 8-1. Table 8.1: Summary of comparative assessment of alternatives Parameters Central Hub Category Factors Modjo Endode Social Settlements -2 -3 Traffic flow and accident risks +1 -3 Access to customers +3 +1 Environmental Climate impacts -1 -1 Wild flora and fauna -2 -2 Land availability for development +2 0 Availability of water +2 +2 Availability of electricity +3 +3 Total score +7 -1 Keys: Impact: + Positive, - Negative; Magnitude of impact: 0: Neutral, 1: Low, 2: Medium, 3: High Social Assessment While all other social impacts remain more or less the same, three factors stand out that would differentiate between the given alternative sites. These are settlements, traffic flow and accident risks, and access to customers. As indicated in Table 8-1, Modjo turns out to be the better alternative in terms of social impacts. Settlements: The Endode site is located next to a rapidly expanding city suburb on both the eastern and western sides, namely, Kality area and Lebbu area. There is also a big condominium site close to Endode. As the site is close to the capital the density of the farming population on the land is expected to be larger than average, which would make the relocation and compensation process much more complex. For Modjo Dry Port, however, the land is already secured through following GoE legal acquisition process. Traffic flow and accident risks: Endode Dry Port, situated adjacent to Addis Ababa, presents a greater challenge because of the rapid expansion of the city that would create competition for water, roads for vehicles, and even space for further expansion. There is a big risk of severe road congestion with the Endode option. The risk of road accidents will also be higher with the Endode alternative because of a net rise in traffic flow. Situated around 50 km away from Addis, Modjo Dry Port presents a much lesser risk in this regard.
