Overview
Kersa HDSS was established in 12 sub-districts of Kersa district, Eastern Hararghe, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. The site is principally rural with three small towns (Kersa, Weter and Langhe). The baseline census was conducted in 2007 and since then has been updated every six months, with registration of demographic and health events. Data is entered into the HRS-2 relational database. At baseline a total of 10,085 houses, 10,522 households and 50,830 people were registered. The sex ratio and number of persons per household was 1.0 and 5.1, respectively. At the end of 2016 the population was 130,358. Until the end of 2016, 20,935 births and 5,195 deaths were registered, respectively. Over 85% of births and deaths occurred at home. The annual net population growth ranges from -0,1 to 1.6. Meanwhile, the population growth rate ranged 1.63 to 2.94. The majority of the population in Kersa is not working; hence the dependency ratio in most of the years is below 1 which ranged from 0.88 to 0.98. The young population dependency ration is the highest (0.88) as compared with the old dependency ratio (0.05). The Total Fertility Rate ranges from 3.5 to 5.3. A reduction in neonatal, infant and under five mortalities was observed. For all deaths, verbal autopsies were done. Infectious disease such as diarrheal diseases, and respiratory tract infections are the leading cause of death among adults while malnutrition is the leading cause of death among children under five years. Kersa HDSS is ready to collaborate with interested researchers on health and demographic issues.

Coverage
Kersa Health and Demographic Surveillance System (Kersa HDSS) is located in Kersa district of eastern Hararege, Oromia region, Eastern Ethiopia. It was established in 2007 with the vision of becoming center of excellence in health science research in Ethiopia. It conducts health and demographic surveillance. The major work on the ground are monitoring demographic altering events such as birth, death, and migration; and health related conditions such as pregnancy, immunization, and morbidity. It also conducts verbal autopsy for the deceased to identify causes of death. It is an INDPTH network member site (http://www.indepth-network.org). More explanation about KDS-HRC please visit www.haramaya.edu.et/research/projects/kds-hrc Eastern Hararge
It one of the 15 Zones of Oromia
