The introduction of IP development in Ethiopia is currently a topical issue. Both the Government and private developers are working on the development of IPs in different part of the country and some of them have started operation while the others are waiting for their completion.
The main objective of this study is to exploring the experiences of IP developments in African countries, focusing on identifying main opportunities and challenges and lessons from and to Ethiopia. Both primary and secondary data sources were used. Documents, key informant interview and FGD were among the main data collection instruments used to examine and show IP practices in the continent and Ethiopia’s Bole Lemi and Hawassa IPs in particular. Officials and experts from Ethiopian IPDC and EIC, HRMs from nine companies, IPs' managers and employees of enterprises have responded the interview questions; households who are evicted due to IPs constructions have also participated in the FGD and different documents reviewed. Data have been interpreted through theoretical basis, basic standard, conception and comparative approach.
