ABSTRACT
Community Based Education (CBE) is a means of achieving educational relevance to
community needs and consequently of implementing a community oriented education
program. Jimma University has implemented this program for the last several years to engage
and interact the students with the community and identify all aspects of problems. The
general objective of CBTP phase I is to identify the major problem of the community in the
economic, social and cultural aspects of Ifa Bula Kebele. The data collection in order to
compile this report is acquired through three major ways: those are questioners, interview
and observation. A questioner was the lead data collection tool for going to study a lone with
unstructured interview and personal observation. This is the sampling procedure for the
selection of sample from the entire population. The analysis about Income and assets,
power/energy supply, housing, transport and communication, waste disposal and
occupational hazard of the target community in summarized form of tables, graphs and charts
with brief explanations including materials we used. In the kebele, age group of 0-5 years
covers the larger portion (36.25%) whereas above 50 years covers lesser portion (12.5%.). in
related to ethnicity, Oromo, Amhara, kefa and Dawro accounts about 39.6%, 15% , 13.1%
and 11.3% respectively.

Introduction
1.1 Background

Community Based Education (CBE) is a means of achieving educational relevance to

community needs and consequently of implementing a community oriented education
program. It consists of learning activities that use the community extensively as a learning
environment, in which not only students but also teachers, members of the community, and
other sectors are actively engaged throughout the educational experience.

CBE as an educational philosophy aims at developing professionals with problem

identification and solving skills and positive attitudes to serve the society. Jimma University
is the national pioneer of community based higher education. But through time other recently
established universities have adopted the philosophy.

1.2. Strategies of CBE

In order to realize the philosophy, Jimma University uses the following strategies:
1. Community Based Training Program (CBTP)
2. Team Training Program (TTP)
3. Student Research Program (SRP)

Community Based Training Program (CBTP)

CBTP is one of the strategies of CBE, where beginning from year I, students go to the
community in a group and are attached for a certain period of time every academic year and
engage themselves the learning activities. The same group of students will be assigned to the
same locality so that knowing the exact problems of the locality; students can make a
difference by working together with the community and stakeholders.

1.3. Background of the study Area

Ifa bula Kebele is located in Oromia region Jimma zone, it is an urban Kebele with
estimated population of 4,820 peoples.

1.3.1 MAP OF IFA BULA KEBELE

1.4. Objectives
The general and specific objectives of the CBTP program, specifically of Demographic
Survey and Problem Identification phase are listed as follows:

1.4.1. General Objective

The general objective of CBTP phase I is to Identify the community problem in the
economic, social and cultural aspects of Ifa Bula kebele.

1.4.2 Specific Objectives

• Encouraging students to recognize salient features of the community.
• Examining and identifying the existing problem in the community.
• Identifying possible factors that brought the problem in the community.
• Investigating the economic and social characteristics of the study area such as
financial income, housing, energy supply and communication.
1.5. Methodology and materials

1.5.1 Data source

We had two major data sources for this survey report: the first and major data source is the
community, specifically our responders. The second data source of our investigation is the
Kebele leaders, who have cooperatively provided us with all the information we required.

1.5.2 Materials used for data collection

The list of materials we utilized for our demographic survey is provided as follows:
• Rough paper and questioner
• Pen and pencil

1.5.3 Subject of the study

The area assigned to our group was the Ifa bula Kebele area. We have
tried to collect the necessary data using random method of selection to
avoid biased conclusion.

1.6 Method of data collection

The data collected in order to compile this report is acquired through three major ways:
those are questioners, interview and observation.

1.6.1 Method of analyzing

We have analyzed the collected data by grouping in their respective sections and
summarizing the corresponding numeric figures in tables. Then we translated the
summarized data into presentable form using tables, graphs and charts.

1.7 Procedure
The general procedure applied on the preparation of this report can be summarized as
follows:
• We questioned the assigned community in a sub group of four students.
• We used the questioner given by our advisor.
• After a day of questioning and investigating, we gathered a total of 13
household (…. Family) data.
 • We analysed and interpreted these data in a consecutive meetings and group
discussions.
• We finally write the draft of the report and finalize it after group discussion
and inspection of our supervisor.

Limitation to the study

• The unfavourable condition of the road due to mud and flood water over the road
• Unwillingness of the community
• Failure of the respondents to give reliable data.
• Difficulty to identify the topography of the area.
• Difficulty to get into residences because of domestic animals. Eg: Dogs.

Chapter Two
 Household socio-economic & demographic questions
2.1. Demographic Compositions

2.1.1. Age status

During the survey, the age status data collected of the sample house hold in the four
categories of children (0-5 age group), youth (6-18 age group), adult (19-50 age group) and
the elderly (50+ age group ) with the significant proportion of the younger age group is
shown in the following graph.

Table 2.1 Age Status

Fig 2.1 Age Status

Looking at the age structure of sample household of Ifa bula Kebele of Jimma town, a
number of interesting observations can be made. The first is the remarkable proportion of the
child and young age group. The child age group i.e. (age of 0-5) has accounted 36.25% of
the total sample population and together with the youth (6-18 years) made up 31.25%. The
working age of adult population (19-50 years) has a share of 20% of the sample household
population while the elderly (age of 50+) make up 12.5%.

The age structure on sex based categorization shows a mixed pattern. At the child category,
the number of females in the sample household exceeds the number of males. This may be
due to female favoured natural selection or more number of female migrations to the kebele
than male among other several factors. This pattern is the same for adult (6-18 years) and
youth (19-50) age groups. The only exception being observed in the elders age group (+50
years) where male in the sample household totally outnumber that of female.

The other point to note from the age distribution is the proportion of economically dependent
population in the sample household, i.e. the proportion of non-working population (due to
age) relative to the working age sample population based on the assumption that the working
age spans the (19-50 years) age group and the non-working population are of elderly and
child age groups.

2.1.2. Educational Status

In the urban phenomenon, the households tend to consider education as perhaps the only way
to escape mechanism from poverty and means to a better future. Thus of the sample
households have enjoyed getting participation at all levels of education system in order to
contribute to society’s progress.

Table 2.2 level of Educaion

 Fig. 2.2 Educational status by level of schooling

Attendants of middle school numbering (KG-8) 25 which constitute 31.25% , high school
numbers (9-12) 15 which constitute 18.75% and number of who has diploma 3 which
constitute 3.75% while participation at the degree/masters is limited to only 1 making up
1.25% of the total sample households. But 36 peoples out of the total 80 sample population
making up 45% have been found illiterate or lacking any form of formal basic education.

2.1.3 Religion
According to the total household surveyed, 2(15%) profess Orthodox Christianity while 8
(62%) stated Muslim as their religion. With Protestant claiming 2(15%) and the balance
1(8%) is accounted for by Catholic religion.
2.1.4 Marital Status
The marital status of a surveyed households are depicted in the following table and figure.
Table 2.3 Marital Status

Of the surveyed households 32 or (40%) described as being married, while 40 or (50%) stated
as single. All the more so 5 or (6.25%) stated as widowed and the remaining 3(3.75%)
household happen to be divorced or separated.

2.1.5 Occupation
We classify in to seven types of occupations in Ifa Bula kebele according to:
• Farmers
• Merchants (shopkeepers and butchery)
• Laborers (shoeshine, cleaner, wood worker, waiter, security)
• Employees (teachers, managers, officer, nurse, pharmacist etc….)
• Unemployed (retired house wives….)
Table 2.4 Occupaion
 Fig 2.3 Occupational Status

• 2.1.6. Income and Asset

Many of the people that we have surveyed are working different private and group business.
About 66.25% of the total population gets their annual income ranging from less than 1000
birr, 21.25% ranges from 1000 to 2000 and the remaining 12.5%

Table 2.5 Income and Asset

 CHAPTER THREE
HOUSING
3.1 Ownership of Houses

House is one of the basic needs. Our data indicates that most of our survey population lives in
their own house. About 61% lives in their own house, 31% lives in rented house and 8% lives
in other houses

Table 3.1 Ownership of House

Fig 3.1 owner of house

• 3.2.Wall
 As most of the Ethiopian houses, the wall of more than half of the houses in this
kebele is built from mud. The mud constitutes 54%, 31% brick, and 0% stone 15%
wood. Table 3.2 Materials of Wall

Fig 3.2 Material of wall

• 3.3 Roof
As statistical result shows the roofs of most houses are constructed from corrugated iron
sheet. This indicates about 92% of the houses are covered by Corrugated iron sheet.

Table 3.3 Type o Roof

 Fig 3.3 Type of Roof

• 3.4 Floor
There are some possible floor materials used by the community. These are concrete, mud and
wood. From which concrete is the dominant material taking 62%, mud cover 31% and 8% is
wood.
 Fig 3.4 floor material

Table 3.4 Floor Material

3.5. Ventilation
Ventilation is the way in which the condition of enclosed space is controlled by ventilation
device in order to get the quality of the air necessary for the health of the residents of the
house. Doors, windows, ventilators and other mechanisms are used to provide the fresh air.

Table 3.5 Ventilation Method

 Fig 3.5 Ventilation Method

3.6 Cleanliness

The cleanliness of houses indicates the present state of the house. In our case, the cleanliness
of most of the houses is in fair condition. As a result, 35% fair, 16% good and 15% is bad.
3.7 Availability of kitchen

Kitchen is the place where the people use to cocks their food by using conventional
energy sources such as wood, charcoal, kerosene, electric and so on. According to our
observation, in Ifa Bula most of houses have kitchen. Most of kitchens are located in a
separate state from the main house. Table 3.7 shows availability of kitchen

3.8 Maintenance Requirement of Houses

 Maintenance requirement of the house depends on the durability and strength of the
construction materials used. The condition of most of the houses under consideration
is fair. This can be illustrated as follows. The following table shows the data in detail.

Table 3.8 Maintenance

 Chapter 4
TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILITIES

4.1.Technology Infrustructure

4.1.1 Communication
Ifa bula community use various type of communication equipment to engage to news and
transfer information.

4.1.1.1 Telephone

• 4.1.1.2 Availability of telephone

Telephone is one mode of communication that the people of the kebele mostly use. About 7%
of the people of the kebele use landline telephone and 66% of people of the kebele use
mobile phone and about 10% of the population use both as a mode of communication. The
internet is considered as mode of communication it is not mostly available in the community.

Table 4.1 Telephone

 Fig 4.1 Availability of Telephone

• 4.1.2 Gazette Possession

Gazette is the means of gathering information for the community. It shows the
technological status of the population. According to the results of our survey, 33% of the total
gazette is TV, 31% radio, 7% video deck, 13% telephone and 3% ventilator and 13% uses
other sources. Table 4.2 Gazatte
 Fig 4.2 Gazette

4.2 Utilities

4.2.1 Power and energy consumption

Energy plays an important role in the provision of basic human need such as food ,shelter and
sanitation ,apart from this energy also needed for other amenities including access to
information, entertainment and communication ,access to health institution deaguostic and
so further.
Table 4.3 Power Consumtion
 Fig 4.3 Power Consumption

The figure shows energy source and consumption surveyed households on per monthly bases
As can see from this table a combination of electricity followed by wood logs and charcoal to
a lesser extent kerosene are the important conventional source of energy used by the studied
households indeed electricity serves the major demand of households for purposely domestic
uses including access to information, entertainment and communication, electric
lighting ,electric household equipment as well as cooking. Likewise ,wood logs and charcoal
and to lesser extent kerosene using open stove (8%) such chores as like baking ,been roasting
and/or coffee making as well as cooking etc. . Ten households for (23%) would buy
combination of wood logs and charcoal(31%) in varying at a market price of birr
80.00/bundle and birr 100.0/quintal respectively. Five househols for (38%) use electricity.

Apart from being existing combination of wood logs, charcoal and kerosene consumption of
all the studied households are due to use of electric for house lighting and some other chores.
The monthly KWH consumption of each households estimated dividing amount in Birr each
households has declared used to pay by block rate stated on electricity bill in order to obtain
power consumption in KWH(the block rate being 0.2730 for the first 50KWh , 0.3564 for the
second 50KWh for residence). All the households total electricity consumption
approximately stands at 447KWh, the overage consumption is a little over 29KWh. It is also
important to note that the minimum power consumption is approximately 10KWh while the
maximum consumption is 87KWh. The majority of households (86.7%) consumption is less
than or equal to 50KWh, whereas only two households (13.3%) get over 50KWh
consumption limits (i.e. 38KWh and 87KWh).

 CHAPTER FIVE

Conclusions and Recommendations

5.1. Conclusions
Finally we conclude that, the population in Ifa bula kebele is relatively small in number
than most of other kebeles in Jimma zone, and have most community aged between 19-50.
Also we concluded that there is larger number of females in the community than the males.
Additionally, they use most common type of communication materials like mobile phones,
taxi, buses and somehow donkeys to transport water they fetched from the crossing river just
1KM away from the main road(asphalt). There is also high lack of electricity to carry their
day to day life as other Jimma communities

5.2. Recommendations

The government should assist the community to facilitate some basic infrastructure like road,
traffic lights, street lights,clean water specially.

The responsible body should take an action to improve the ifa bula community life through
discussion about their major problems and fulfill their responsibility by taking effective
action on solutions like fulfilling road, relevant electric power supply and road lights.

Some non-governmental organizations like NGOs should take part to work on the kebele to
give the community some help to make their living standard to a better level.

The government should also assist the community by providing recreational centers like: TV
halls, Internet caffes, Youths' center, public library and the likes.

Collaborating with the government, JU should take part of improving the way of
community's life.
