Fieldwork in South Ethiopia (Chencha and Duguna Fango)

Participants: Senior researchers and PhD students

Fieldwork was conducted: September 2023

The objective of the fieldwork:

The objective was to undertake a site analysis of the local context, select appropriate kebeles from each study site for further research, introduce local officials and relevant stakeholders to the PATHWAYS research, and introduce the PhD students to the area to facilitate their further activities.

Description:

Two Woredas, Chencha and Dugena fango, which are situated in the Gamo and Wolyeta zones, respectively, were used for the field work. The research team visited the site of the field work, spoke with the appropriate officials, and did a preliminary in-depth interview with locals. The preliminary fieldwork was carried out to select field sites for the PAWTHWAYS project. The field visit resulted in the selection of Chencha Woreda in the Gamo Zone, and Dugena Fango Woreda in the Wolaita Zone. In the latter, two kebeles (Anka Damota and Fango Bijo) were selected. The visit resulted in a field report covering the profile of each study site, an assessment of environmental change and vulnerability, and a mapping of mobility patterns and available social protection mechanisms.

Duration: March 11th-13th, 2023

Course Objective: The course objective was to prepare the team for high-risk stress through classroom teaching and realistic simulations.

Description: Throughout the training, members of the project developed shared guidelines for conducting pre-departure risk assessments, ensuring travel and accommodation safety, protecting interlocutors (including secure digital data storage), and providing debriefing and peer support. The HEAT course established a common understanding of field security within the group through the infinitely insightful presence of local researchers.
