Abstract

A large part of research to date is devoted to the rehabilitation of degraded landscapes focused on technical aspects. This paper evaluated the socio-economic outcomes of Community-Based Rehabilitation of Degraded Land (CBRDL) in the North Showa area of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. Multistage sampling techniques were used. In the first stage, the research site is selected based on years of experience in community-based rehabilitation of degraded lands (CBRDL), then simple random sampling techniques were used to select households from two target populations. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science. The findings revealed that the CBRDL brought about reductions in soil erosion and flooding and increased water availability, increased vegetation cover, and crop productivity. Although a people-centered planning approach was promoted during the intervention, a top-down approach prevailed and much needs to be done to overcome the persistent top-down planning process. Lack of knowledge, low level of awareness, low income, and small household size were identified as the main factors affecting participation in the rehabilitation of degraded lands. The overall evaluation showed that the CBRDL is showing encouraging positive impacts.

Abstract

Demand for wooden furniture in Ethiopia is rapidly increasing due to population growth, urbanization, and economic development. This demand is met through both local production and imports, yet limited information exists on the sector’s trade dynamics. This study assessed the status and trends of Ethiopia’s wooden furniture import-export market using data from the Ethiopian Customs Commission (2009–2020). Descriptive statistics and the ARIMA model in STATA were applied. Results show average annual imports and exports of 12,650.9 and 429.8 tonnes, respectively. Ethiopia spent an average of US$ 22.6 million on imports while earning only US$ 1.7 million from exports, indicating a trade deficit. By 2040, import costs are projected to rise to US$ 29.2 million. However, with proper investment and policy focus, local wooden furniture production can boost national revenue and reduce import dependency. Thus, expanding domestic wooden furniture manufacturing is vital to meet future demand and support economic growth.
