    (Addis Ababa University, 2010-06) Kidane Girmay; Ashenafi Mengistu; Tariku Jibal
    This study was conducted to identify: the actors, their roles, competences and main constraints of veterinary service delivery system in Ada' a district of the Oromia regional state, Ethiopia. The kebele administrations were selected representing urban, peri-urban and rural areas of the district based on the presence and absence of veterinary clinics and drug shops. Questionnaire, focus group discussions, key informant interviews and desk review were conducted to gather important primary and secondary data. For the questionnaire survey 100 household heads from the rural, peri-urban and urban were selected purposively. This assessment revealed that the district obtains veterinary services mainly from three sectors: public, private and third sectors. The public serves 62%, 56% and 45% of clinical treatment, vaccination and drug sales respectively. "Open-air clinic" (SVM) 38% clinical cases and 37% drugs sales. Private 40%, 5% and 43% of clinical treatments, Vaccination and veterinary drug sales respectively. Veterinary pharmacies cover 82% of drug sales and 44% of clinical cases. Part time veterinarians 11 % of clinical cases, 2% vaccination and 9% of drug sales. From the respondents 53% were illegal drug user. Ada'a dairy cooperative provides 12.5%, 7.5% and 10% of clinical cases, vaccination, and drug sale respectively mainly to its members. Donkey sanctuary provides 16.675 and 6.67% of clinical cases in the peri-urban and rural respectively. SP ANA provides clinical cases of 7.5 and 7.5% vaccination in the urban. Inadequate budget, logistic problems, shortage of manpower and working days were found to be the main causes for the very weakness of government veterinary services, and black-market drug dealers were found to be challengers of private practitioner. But significant population of dairy cattle and poultry farms with good access to market, there appears to be opportunities to profitability support the private veterinary sector in the study area.
