To meet the 2030 goal to end all types of malnutrition, thoroughly investigating and addressing context-specific factors of undernutrition is crucial. Therefore, this study assessed the prevalence of undernutrition and associated factors among children aged 6–23 months in South-East Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 580 randomly sampled mother–child pairs in February 2022. Socio-demographic, dietary intake, household food security (HFS), maternal knowledge and practices of child feeding, and the child's weight and height data were collected. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was done. The prevalence of stunted, wasted, and underweight children was 32⋅1, 7, and 9 %, respectively. Being male (AOR = 1⋅75), not using the growth monitoring and promotion (GMP) service (AOR = 1⋅50), household food insecurity (HFI) (AOR = 1⋅67), lack of improved water (AOR = 2⋅26), and bottle-feeding (AOR = 1⋅54) were significantly associated with stunting. Being male (AOR = 3⋅02), having low maternal knowledge on child-feeding practices (AOR = 3⋅89), not listening to the radio/television (AOR = 3⋅69), having a history of fever (AOR = 3⋅39), bottle-feeding (AOR = 3⋅58), and HFI (AOR = 3⋅77) were significantly predicted wasting. Being male (AOR = 3⋅44), not using GMP service (AOR = 2⋅00), having a history of fever (AOR = 4⋅24), lack of knowledge on optimal breastfeeding duration (AOR = 3⋅58), low maternal knowledge on child feeding (AOR = 2⋅21), HFI (AOR = 2⋅04), and lack of improved water (AOR = 3⋅00) showed significant association with underweight. In conclusion, stunting is alarmingly common while wasting and underweight are sub-optimal. Prevention of infectious disease, providing basic education for fathers, ensuring HFS; enhancing media access, maternal knowledge about IYCFP and improving water access; and GMP service utilisation are crucial to improve child nutrition.

The current land policy of Ethiopia allows rural population to access farmlands. Nevertheless, households’ preference to state versus private ownership of farmland is an issue of hot debate. This study aimed at assessing the rural households’ preferences to ownership of farmlands in the dominion of the current land tenure in Ethiopia. The study followed mixed methods research design and data were generated by survey of 310 samples between May and Jun, 2019 as well as descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results indicated that the study area experienced small government land allocation, gender and age imbalanced land access with tenure insecurity. Evaluation of the current land tenure showed that 62.6% of the total respondents perceived the current land tenure is inauthentic. Indeed, 65.2% preferred to private ownership of farmland and regression model identified that sex, age, education, farmland size, number of oxen, and sharecropping-out were determinants of households’ preferences to private ownership of farmland. The study revealed that areas practicing insufficient farmland allocation face illicit farmland markets with the state ownership of farmland. Therefore, farming households should be contingent to legal rules for maintaining secured tenure arrangements. The local government offices should work in accordance with legal regulations in managing land tenure arrangements. The national government might review current land tenure ruling with state ownership of land for devising appropriate land ownership systems.

Peternakan sapi perah di Indonesia didominasi oleh peternakan skala kecil, sehingga sulit untuk memperoleh akses informasi pasar dan menimbulkan biaya transaksi dalam penyediaan pakan, proses produksi, maupun penjualan susu. Namun, biaya transaksi cenderung tersembunyi dan diabaikan oleh peternak padahal dapat memengaruhi keuntungan usaha. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan menghitung biaya transaksi yang dihadapi oleh peternak sapi perah, baik biaya transaksi eksplisit maupun implisit dengan menggunakan metode Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA). Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kabupaten Bandung Barat dengan mengklasifikasikan sampel berdasarkan skala usaha dan keterlibatan dalam lembaga koperasi. Biaya transaksi eksplisit yang dikeluarkan oleh peternak berupa biaya keanggotaan, biaya pulsa, tip petugas kesehatan hewan, biaya keamanan, dan biaya kebersihan Tempat Pelayanan Koperasi (TPK). Biaya implisit berupa biaya informasi yang dikeluarkan oleh peternak karena perbedaan harga ampas tahu dan ampas singkong dan biaya imbangan waktu (opportunity cost of time) dalam memperoleh pakan dan mengantar susu. Biaya transaksi implisit yang dikeluarkan oleh peternak sapi perah lebih besar daripada biaya transaksi eksplisit. Komponen biaya informasi memiliki proporsi tertinggi dari total biaya transaksi dengan persentase 41,65% pada anggota koperasi dan 48,16% pada yang bukan anggota koperasi. Jika dilihat dari skala usaha, peternak skala kecil mengalami biaya transaksi yang lebih besar karena biaya transaksi yang dihadapi bersifat fix cost. Berdasarkan keterlibatan dalam suatu lembaga, anggota koperasi mengeluarkan biaya transaksi yang lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan yang bukan anggota koperasi, walaupun perbedaan itu tidak cukup signifikan. Perbedaan biaya transaksi hanya Rp1,39/L untuk peternak dengan kepemilikan 15 ekor dan Rp7,09/L untuk peternak dengan kepemilikan 610 ekor. Kata kunci: biaya oportunitas, biaya transaksi, koperasi, peternakan skala kecil, TCA
