    Overview
    Abstract
    Tigray is one of the nine administrative regions in Ethiopia. It is comprised of seven zones, of which the Eastern zone is base for the Kiltie Awlaelo Health and Demographic Surveillance Site. The Kiltie Awlaelo HDSS includes 10 kebeles (districts) selected from Eastern zone considering agroclimatic, rural/urban and other several factors to assure representativeness. Nine of the study districts are rural and only one is from urban. The site is located 802 km North of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. The surveillance was started in 2009, with a baseline population of 65, 848 (urban 87.2% and 13.7% from rural) living in 14,454 households. The population comprises mainly of orthodox Christians (93.4%) and others like Moslems (1.6), catholic and protestant (0.08%).Among adults of 15 years and above, 29.1% are engaged in farming, 23% can students, 21.9% housewives, and 4.5% seeking for job. Regarding to educational status of the surveillance population for those aged seven and above years, 33.5% are unable to read and write, 8.5% able to read and write but had no formal schooling, 32.6% have completed primary school, 21% completed secondary school and 1.6% have completed secondary education and above. The population distribution shows it is quite youthful. Eighty four percent of the total population lives in rural areas.

    The objective of this surveillance is to provide important demographic and health related indicators with international, national and local policy importance.
