The community level primary data was collected using focus group discussion. Secondary data was obtained from Living Standard Measurement Survey of Ethiopia, 2015. Mixed method research was employed to better understand multidimensional poverty. The qualitative result indicated that many groups expressed poverty manifests as loss of livestock’s, lack of food, lack of water, lack of schooling and health services. The quantitative result confirmed that there is positive correlation among the three poverty dimension, implying multidimensional hypothesis is accepted. The poverty measure indicated 44% of the sample household found to be poor in two dimensions and 37% poor in one dimension and 8% were found to be poor in three dimensions. The results from mixed approach converge indicating that poverty is multidimensional in pastoral and agro-pastora...

A total of 7207 sample children were considered. Human opportunity index was used to measure inequalities of opportunities for children. Dissimilarity index was used to measure inequality of opportunities. Opportunities were peroxied by access to basic services such as primary education, safe drinking water, health and nutrition. The dissimilarity index showed high inequality with value of 20.8, 12.9 and 8.4% for access to safe drinking water, health service and minimum nutrition opportunities, respectively. The coverage rates of access to opportunities were also less than other regions with respective values of 64.1, 29.8 and 22.9% for primary education, safe drinking water and health services. The human opportunity indices were also 61.5, 23.6 and 20.0% for these opportunities, respectively. Access t...
