Challenges and opportunities of development in Ethiopia through urban-rural economic linkages (URELs)Berhanu Zeleke Gobaw 07 1900 (has links)
The transformation of rural people and land to urban land and culture is a natural
discourse and inevitable process. In the process, more than half of the current world
population are living in urban centres. The number of urban centres and their population
is rapidly increasing while the situation of integrated development of urban centres and
rural areas such URELs for sustainable development have given less attention in
agricultural based countries (ABCs). Multi-disciplinary (agriculture and agro-industries)
integration, multi-spatial (urban centre and its hinterlands) linkages, multiscalar (micromeso
and macro) levels, multi-actors and stakeholders involvement are the noteworthy
innovations in the field of development studies. This study mainly focused on URELs for
agribusiness and value chains under the development themes of governance and
development as well as contemporary debates. Policies, institutional settings and practical
implementation strategies of integrated and balanced development discourse of basic
sectoral and urban-rural economic linkages (URELs) missed in ABCs such as Ethiopia‟s
comprehensive development policy ADLI neglecting the rapidly growing urban centres.
Owing to this, this study is designed to examine the challenges and problems, status and
agribusiness and efficiencies of URELs for exploring theoretical empirical model for
virtuous circle URELs. Methodologically, the study used sequential explanatory mixed
methods research and cross-sectional survey design. The sequential approach was
quantitative method, qualitative method and integrating the two findings on interpretation
and discussion. The findings present truncated BPLs and FPLs of agriculture and agroindustries.
It was was mainly due to poor and greater ranges of efficiency from TE, AE
and EE for both agriculture and agro-industries, form of government as ethnic-federalism
and regionalism, violation of the existing institutional frameworks, dejure-defacto
discrminatin, government businesses, policy and institutional settings, lack of R&D,
many paradoxical acts and poor resources mobilization and utilization. These problems
and challenges are taken as potential opportunities for improvement and new lens of
developing empirical model. The overall recommendation lies on creating enabling
environment for virtuous circle URELs and integrated regional development using
regional development approach, avoiding illegal interventions, import-export balance,
proper resource mobilization and utilization. / Development Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Development Studies)

Socio-economic impacts of Villagisation and large-scale agricultural investment on the indigenous people of Gambella, South West EthiopiaAfera Alemu Desta 12 1900 (has links)
Villagisation and large-scale agricultural investments in Gambella region has been a major concern of human right groups. The Ethiopian government argues that Villagisation program is voluntary and part of Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) which attempts to bring
development to indigenous communities and nothing to do with large-scale agricultural investment. On the contrary, human right groups and local civil society organizations claim that the Ethiopian government is forcefully relocating indigenous people from their ancestral
land under the disguise of development while the true motive of the government is to expand agricultural investment in the region at the expense of the livelihood of the local communities.
This research is an attempt to investigate the controversial Villagisation and large-scale agricultural investment in Gambella regional state by looking into the link between large scale agricultural investment and Villagisation. The main focus of the research is to examine
the impacts of agricultural investment and Villagisation in Gambella region the light of the Ethiopian government policy in the region and the alleged development induced human right violations.
The research is based on a qualitative method to capture data from 32 Villagisation sites using in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and field observations. For the purpose of this study, 241 participants were selected from the study sites to participate in the research.
Out of the 241 participants 75 of them were participated in in-depth interviews and the rest were included in focus group discussions and informal discussions based on the participants’ knowledge, views, experience and feelings associated with Villagisation and
large-scale agricultural investment in the region. The findings of this study show no indication of involuntary Villagisation, no significant
relationship between Villagisation and investment, or no evidence of previously occupied land being leased to investors. However, the study reveals that there has been serious lack of communication and misinformation from the government side in the process of planning
and implementing the Villagisation program. Owing to this, suspicion and lack of trust between government officials and the local communities characterized implementation of the Villagisation project. / Geography / M.A. (Geography)
