It is part of east Hararghe. It is bordered on the south by Bedeno district, on the west by Meta district, on the north by Dire Dawa administrative council, on the northeast by Haramaya woreda, and on the southeast by Kurfa Chele district. The woreda capital is Kersa, which is 44 km from Harar west wards.\r\n<h3><strong>Topography:</strong></h3>\r\nThe district ranges from 1400 to 3200 meters above sea level. According to a survey of the land in Kersa 28.5% is arable or cultivable, 2.3% pasture, 6.2% forest, and the remaining 56.3% is considered built-up degraded or otherwise unusable. Chat, fruits and vegetables are important cash crops. Coffee is also an important cash crop, covering 5,000 hectares.\r\n\r\nIn the woreda, there are 35 rural Kebeles and 3 small towns. According to the information obtained from the woreda administration, out of the 38 Kebeles, 2 are lowland, 22 are temperate, 7 are a mix of lowland and temperate and the remaining 7 are highland, containing 2.8 %, 60.2, %, 17 % and 20 % of the district population, respectively. All the Kebeles have road access.\r\n<h3><strong>Population:</strong></h3>\r\nAccording to the 2007 census, the district has a total population of 172,626; out of which, 6.87 are urban dwellers. With an estimated area of 463.75 square kilometers, Kersa has an estimated population density of 372.24 people per square kilometer. The district has six health centers, 28 health posts and eight private pharmacies. The health service coverage of the woreda is 80 %.\r\n<h2><strong>The Need for Demographic and Health Surveillance: </strong></h2>\r\n<strong> </strong>Demographic and Health Surveillance is the continuous tracking of demographic and health data from a particular place for a continuous period of time. Such a program gives valid and reliable health information to health planners and facilitates evidence-based action unlike the traditional health system oriented generation of data.\r\n\r\nTraditional sources of health information collected from health facilities such as health centers and hospitals often serve as the basis for health-services planning and allocation of resources in Ethiopia. Yet, healthfacility-based data often provide fragmentary and biased information. Not all population groups have geographic or socio-economic access to health facilities. Those who do have such access are usually selfselected and are often those who visit health-care facilities when they suffer from a serious illness.\r\n\r\nGreat majorities of poor people have less access to health-care facilities than those who are better off, and they often treat themselves or use traditional health care remedies. Women may suffer from gender disparities as well, with time and cultural constraints on the use of health-care facilities, particularly in rural settings. Services for children are also severely constrained. Thus, health-facility-based data are not representative of the health problems of all rural and urban communities and do not therefore reflect the health status of the population.\r\n\r\nThis void of valid health information for a large segment of the Ethiopia’s population makes it difficult for policymakers to depend on valid information on the health situation of these people. The need to establish a reliable information base to support health development has never been given due attention.\r\n\r\nIdeally, reliable health information should be community based, inclusive of all groups, and collected prospectively and continuously. Such an ideal is best met through demographic and health surveillance systems collecting demographic, environment and health data on selected population samples. Such a continuous generation of data is indispensable in providing the necessary health services and advancing health science research and promoting quality education. Moreover, it plays a significant role in health planning strengthening staff research capacity and institutional development.\r\n<h2><strong>What we do in the field? </strong><strong> </strong></h2>\r\nAt the KDS-HRC field site, we do a continuous tracking of vital events and health information. Demographic events that changes population characteristics such as births, deaths, immigration and outmigration are of particular interest.\r\n\r\nWhile deaths and out-migration reduces population size, immigration and birth increases population size, this dynamism is called open cohort.\r\n\r\nOther events like marital status change, immunization, morbidity and birth outcomes are also under follow-up. For deceased we fill verbal autopsy to identify the cause of death.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/Picture1.png\">Picture</a>\r\n<h2>History of KDS-HRC project</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/History.pdf\">click here to see history of  KDS-HRC project</a>\r\n\r\nProject\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>MSC Projects</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>PHD projects</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>National Projects</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nData Sharing\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Data Sharing  Agreement</li>\r\n 	<li>Data Sharing  Application</li>\r\n 	<li>Data Sharing  Policy</li>\r\n 	<li>Questionnaire</li>\r\n 	<li>Sample Data</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nOutput\r\nPopulation\r\nCollabiration\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Collaborators</li>\r\n 	<li>National</li>\r\n 	<li>International</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nContact\r\n<h1><strong>Coordinator</strong></h1>\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/dr-nega-300x284.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"228\" /></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dr. Nega Assefa</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>(Ph.D, Reproductive Health)  </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Email: negaassefa@yahoo.com</strong>\r\n<strong>Tel: </strong>+251-256-666143\r\n<strong>Fax: </strong>+251-256-668081\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Team Members  </strong></h2>\r\n<strong> <img src=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/lleee-300x247.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"220\" /></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Lemessa Oljira</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>(Ph.D Candidate, Epidemiology)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Email: olemessa@yahoo.com  </strong>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/desss-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"286\" height=\"215\" /></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dessalew Zelalem</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>(BA, M.Sc.-Demographer)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Email:\r\ndesalewzelalemayele@yahoo.com</strong>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/neg-1-300x239.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"282\" height=\"225\" /></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Negga Baraki</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>(B.Sc.

The health service coverage of the woreda is 80 %.\n<h2><strong>The Need for Demographic and Health Surveillance: </strong></h2>\n<strong> </strong>Demographic and Health Surveillance is the continuous tracking of demographic and health data from a particular place for a continuous period of time. Such a program gives valid and reliable health information to health planners and facilitates evidence-based action unlike the traditional health system oriented generation of data.\n\nTraditional sources of health information collected from health facilities such as health centers and hospitals often serve as the basis for health-services planning and allocation of resources in Ethiopia. Yet, healthfacility-based data often provide fragmentary and biased information. Not all population groups have geographic or socio-economic access to health facilities. Those who do have such access are usually selfselected and are often those who visit health-care facilities when they suffer from a serious illness.\n\nGreat majorities of poor people have less access to health-care facilities than those who are better off, and they often treat themselves or use traditional health care remedies. Women may suffer from gender disparities as well, with time and cultural constraints on the use of health-care facilities, particularly in rural settings. Services for children are also severely constrained. Thus, health-facility-based data are not representative of the health problems of all rural and urban communities and do not therefore reflect the health status of the population.\n\nThis void of valid health information for a large segment of the Ethiopia’s population makes it difficult for policymakers to depend on valid information on the health situation of these people. The need to establish a reliable information base to support health development has never been given due attention.\n\nIdeally, reliable health information should be community based, inclusive of all groups, and collected prospectively and continuously. Such an ideal is best met through demographic and health surveillance systems collecting demographic, environment and health data on selected population samples. Such a continuous generation of data is indispensable in providing the necessary health services and advancing health science research and promoting quality education. Moreover, it plays a significant role in health planning strengthening staff research capacity and institutional development.\n<h2><strong>What we do in the field? </strong><strong> </strong></h2>\nAt the KDS-HRC field site, we do a continuous tracking of vital events and health information. Demographic events that changes population characteristics such as births, deaths, immigration and outmigration are of particular interest.\n\nWhile deaths and out-migration reduces population size, immigration and birth increases population size, this dynamism is called open cohort.\n\nOther events like marital status change, immunization, morbidity and birth outcomes are also under follow-up. For deceased we fill verbal autopsy to identify the cause of death.\n\n<a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.ettm/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Picture1.png\">Picture</a>\n<h2>History of KDS-HRC project</h2>\n<a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.ettm/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/History.pdf\">click here to see history of  KDS-HRC project</a>', 'Ab', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3069-autosave-v1', '', '', '2017-10-20 07:57:15', '2017-10-20 07:57:15', '', 3069, 'http://localhost/?p=3072', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

It is part of east Hararghe. It is bordered on the south by Bedeno district, on the west by Meta district, on the north by Dire Dawa administrative council, on the northeast by Haramaya woreda, and on the southeast by Kurfa Chele district. The woreda capital is Kersa, which is 44 km from Harar west wards.\r\n<h3><strong>Topography:</strong></h3>\r\nThe district ranges from 1400 to 3200 meters above sea level.

This is basically attributed to inefficiencies in taking research results to socio-economic outcomes. Other studies have identified ‘knowledge gap’ which is due to failure to produce the requisite critical number of skilled innovators and capacity development for technology and knowledge generation and dissemination.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/09/Theme-5-Description.pdf\"><u>For details, click here (link to theme 5 description)</u></a></p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><u>Research priorities</u></p>', 'Theme V-IISED', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '520-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-10-20 08:18:03', '2017-10-20 08:18:03', '', 520, 'http://localhost/?p=3102', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

However, with the dramatic increases in the number of scholarly and creative works produced at the University as well as with the rising challenges being posed by poor quality and/or unethical publication outlets, establishing merit of scholarly publications and creative works has now become more onerous than ever before. Therefore, it is imperative to prepare and use guidelines to thoroughly vet publications and creative works submitted by staff members for academic promotions, employment, and related purposes.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/09/Guideline-for-establishing-merits-of-publication-and-creative-works-at-Haramaya-University.pdf\"><u>Guidelines for Establishing Merit of Publications and Creative Works at Haramaya University</u></a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h5>Guidelines for Research Incentives and Rewards</h5>\r\nIn Haramaya University, researchers have long been engaged in research activities that benefited the local communities and the nation at large. However, researchers have not been adequately recognized for their contributions through incentive mechanisms. As a result, the university could not ensure its researchers\' full engagement in result-oriented research activities. Thus, to increase research outputs, stimulate participation in research endeavors, enhance competitiveness and raise the university profile at national and international levels, it is important to create incentive and award system for acknowledging staff for their contributions. This document is meant to provide a framework for merit-based recognition of researchers. The ultimate goal is to build motivated and devoted scientific or scholarly community in the university.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/09/Research-Incentives.pdf\"><u>Guidelines for Research Incentives and Rewards</u></a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h5>Research Proposal, Research Report, Manuscript, and Policy Brief</h5>\r\nOver the past decades, Haramaya University has been expanding.
