Challenges of Current Industrialization Process in Ethiopia

Abstract

Despite of country's economic growing rate, the current process of Ethiopian Industrialization challenged by political disruption by social unrest which shock the ruling party which has been on power for more than 20 years. In addition, land grabbing in both rural and urban areas, corrupted senior and lower level officials from top to down, lack of skilled man power and shortage of foreign exchange were the major constraints of current Ethiopian industrialization processes. Furthermore, the Ethiopian industrial policy implementation lacks effectiveness because of shallow policy guides and monitoring and controlling.
