The
Risk of HIV/AIDS on the way to Food Security in Ethiopia

Abstract on the Risk of HIV/AIDS on the way
to Food Security in Ethiopia As part of the Ethiopian national rural
development program launched towards food security, the government is
planning and executing extensive resettlement program from highly
populated and degraded mid and lowlands to very fragile arid and semi arid
lowlands. These areas are characterized by high fragility of the
biophysical land resources and associated with various tropical disease
risks both to human being and livestock's. The main objective of the
program is to enable up to 440,000 chronically food insecure households or
2.2 million people attain food security. While the idea of giving land to
the needy and making farmers self-reliant is appreciated, the separation
of family and the frequency in mobility would exacerbate the spread of
HIV/AIDS. Both the resettlers and receiving communities as well as the
sending communities are becoming more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. Resettlement
usually involves the temporary separation of families as family heads,
mainly men; establish themselves in their new homes before bringing over
their families. The resettlement communities include of all sorts of
people with different backgrounds: farmers/ peasants, school dropouts,
ex-soldiers, unemployed town boys and commercial sex workers, and
returnees from refugee camps. Some school dropouts and unemployed youth
registered as heads of families in order to get the benefits promised in
order to transform themselves in to another mode of life by renting the
land, receiving money from the government as they reached at the area,
etc. This research topic mainly deals with in one of the resettlement
areas in the southern Ethiopia Kafa Site. Since many women are left behind
along with their children in the home of origin, most heads of families
are without their wives. The female population at the resettlement area is
very small. Men are blamed to have developed sexual relation with sex
workers at towns whenever they go for marketing and relaxation. The women
at the site fear that they could be raped, for there are many men without
wives. Husbands of such women also share the same fear. Because of this
the local people are now forcing a girl to marry earlier for fear of rape.
Some started marrying other women who came with their families. The
resettlement context has enhanced divorce and marriage because of family
separation. There are suspected people living with HIV/AIDS. The health
service is poor. There is only one health provider and that is not
available in most of the time. There is no activity on HIV/AIDS.
