    an Ethiopian Studies Resource Center : a Feasibility Study
    (Addis Ababa University, 1993-05) Regassa Abebe; Bekele Rahel (PhD)
    "Ethiopian Studies" is an area study. "Area study" is a field of study that falls within the scope of a group of studies known as Entity studies which are trans- or multi-disciplinary in scope.What makes information provision to researchers of area studies challenging is that an information system supporting area studies should be able to assist a researcher in a particular aspect of an area e. g. languages of Ethiopia, find information, data and materials pertinent to such a study from those of specialists in other fields, e.g. studies in Ethiopian literature, studies in interregional migration, etc. An information system, in an effort to meet the challenges, should develop tools, such as, specialized indexes, seepage studies, etc., which can show such interdisciplinary links, between the research done in different fields or from different points of view. Databases of different types of records of, for example, bibliographic, profiles of experts, of institutions, ongoing research, artifacts and museum objects are also necessary. Such an information system can enhance contacts among researchers, research institutes, etc. Inivthis way, the system can also assist in the organization of research on the entity/area. This study attempts to make a feasibility study and propose a plan for implementing an Ethiopian . Studies Resource center equipped with the necessary resources and information and capable of providing efficient services to researchers/students of Ethiopian Studies as mentioned above. Prototype databases consisting of bibliographic records, records of museum objects, nonbook materials, serials, profiles of experts/researchers, research projects, institutions, information systems and databases have been designed to demonstrate generation of information services and products. ,Figure 1: Organizational structure of the Institute of Ethiopian studies (IES) Figure 2: organizational structure of Ethi opian studies Resource center (ESRC)

    Requirement Analysis and System Design for Voice Messages for Antenatal and Postnatal Care Services.
    (Addis Ababa University, 2014-06) Adane Hiwot; Bekele Rahel (PhD); Fantahun Mesganaw (Professor)
    In Ethiopia maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality are the major health problems.Some of the causes are delay in seeking and receiving skilled care, home delivery/ low utilization of service, lack of recognition of newborn danger signs and low levels of care seeking for new born at health facilities. This project is therefore designed to contribute to the decrement of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality by sending voice messages instead of Simple Message System (SMS) directly to mothers. The system reminds mothers’ appointment and makes them aware about the danger signs that can occur during pregnancy and postpartum period both in mother and in baby. The general objective of this project is to prepare content and requirement analysis and system design for the development of voice messages for antenatal and postnatal care services. Review of already existing mobile phone for MNCH which was developed by Clinton Health Access Initiatives (CHAI) and Addis Ababa University (AAU) and World Bank and Addis Ababa University (AAU) were made. Interview of a professional who was involved in the development of those systems was also conducted to develop user requirements. Different literatures, protocols, fact sheets, brochures and standard manuals were reviewed to develop messages both in Amharic and English in which are going to be sent to mothers/families mobile phone. The health information messages organized for each trimester and postpartum weeks .After the pregnant mother is enrolled in the system she get health information messages every two week until delivery and during postpartum period every week until fourth week. The appointment reminder messages delivery to the mother based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Focused Antenatal Care (FANC) and postnatal care schedule.
