Fish potential of the country is estimated at 45,000–51,500 tons per year, according to studies Thus, with less than 38 per cent of the potential currently exploited, there is a considerable room for further exploitation of fish resources.

People consume large amount of fish in fasting days, in big cities, around production areas and towns, especially in Zeway, Arba Minch, Bahir Dar and Addis Ababa.

'Sweeping change' narrows gender ga Increased access for women to politics and the workforce has narrowed the global gender gap in the past 10 years, the World Economic Forum (WEF) said. The WEF's annual gender survey  confirmed "sweeping changes" in many countries, with 105 becoming more equal since 2005, said its author. Iceland tops the list for the sixth year running, with Yemen placed last. The WEF looked at economic factors, health, education and political participation in 142 countries. Just six nations - Sri Lanka, Mali, Croatia, Macedonia, Jordan and Tunisia - have seen their gender gap grow overall since 2005, the WEF said. Read more at BBC

Since 2012, MSF has been running a mother and child healthcare project in Sidama Zone of SNNPR (Southern Nations, Nationalities and People’s Region) in Ethiopia. MSF will, end of October 2014, hand-over the project to the Ministry of Health and regional authorities. MSF has mainly been working in the two Woredas (divisions) of Chire and Mejo. In collaboration with the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, MSF has been able to save the lives of many women and children and curb preventable morbidities. Since the intervention began, more than 12,000 women have benefited from Antenatal- and postnatal care, over 2,000 pregnant women have delivered in safe conditions and more than 1,500 children with complicated severe malnutrition have been treated in the stabilisation centres in Chire and Mejo.
