This requires creative and rigorous efforts to measure and reduce multidimensional poverty in a way that ensures no one is left behind. Despite a couple of efforts made to measure multidimensional aspects of welfare at the national level, limited studies have been done in rural parts of the country, where most poverty researches focused in unidimensional poverty. Hence, this study quantified the extent and examined the determinants of rural household multidimensional poverty status using the Alkire-Foster method and the ordered logistic regression model, respectively. Crosssectional data set was collected from 397 randomly selected households using structured questionnaire. Living standards indicators contribute the most to multidimensional poverty, while empowerment contributes the least. The study revealed that multidimensional poverty headcount, intensity, and the index were found to be 80.35 percent, 55.97 percent, and 44.8 percent, respectively. Among the sampled households, 2.2 percent of households were non-poor, 17.8 percent were vulnerable, 52.6 percent were moderately poor, and 27.4 percent were severely poor. According to the ordered logit model, the probability of a household being in multidimensional poverty was determined negatively by sex(male), expenditure, family size, land size, and employment level, while age and distance to the nearest health center are positively influencing it. Hence, promoting family planning, diversifying income sources and viable labor-intensive rural employment opportunities, provision of improved energy sources, electricity, clean water, and a road network would reduce a multifaceted rural poverty.

It has long been considered one of the key components of the strategy for economic development. Despite extensive research in the field of tourism, studies on the contribution of tourism to households’ income have been limited. Hence, this study investigated tourism and its contribution to households’ income and examined the factors affecting the tourism income of households using the descriptive and Tobit regression models, respectively. A cross-sectional data set was collected from 192 randomly selected households using interviews and focused group discussions. The study revealed that the contribution of tourism to household income is low—only 3.87 percent. The study also pinpointed cultural landscapes, arts, and cultural music as the main tourist destinations. The Tobit model estimation result revealed that the age of the household head, family size of the house...

The Tobit model estimation result revealed that the age of the household head, family size of the household, and access to credit have a strong positive effect on household tourism income, whereas land size is negatively correlated with household tourism income. Finally, the study revealed that limited access to financing, lack of preservation and protection of heritage, lack of museums, lack of service and facilities, lack of effective marketing, internal conflict, and inadequate development and implementation of strategies were the major challenging factors that affect the tourism industry. Hence, promotion, expanding employment opportunities, access to formal credit, preserving potential heritages, and adequate development and implementation of strategies were recommended to improve the tourism industry in the study area.

This study was attempted to assess the determinant of rural household food insecurity in Konso woreda. Moreover, the study was tried to find out which group of households is more likely to be food secure and food insecure in the near future. To this end, primary data was being collected from 100 households in the selected three kebeles of Deban, Gocha and Gaho using two stages stratified random sampling. Structured questionnaire was used to gather relevant information from sample. The study was employed the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) Measurement Tool descriptive statistics and comparative analysis. Also logistic distribution (logit) model will be employed to show the relationship of factor associated with household food security. The result of HFIAS reveled that about 51% of households were food insecure (i.e. 22% are mildly food insecure, 16% are moderately food insecure, and 13% are severely food insecure) while 49% were food secure. According to descriptive analysis food insecure household have greater averages in variables such as family size, distance from the market, and distance from all seasonal roads. On the other hand, food-secure households have relatively greater averages on age, farmland size, annual income, livestock number, number of oxen, and off-income. Among the 14 variables included in the logistic model, 5 of them were significant at less than 5% and 10% probability levels. These are the family size of the household, land size, annual income of the household, access to extension service, and the number of oxen owned. Finally, limiting population size, improving the quality of land, expanding and strengthening the off-farm activities, strengthening micro-fiancé and small businesses, stabilizing of food market/price, and strengthening agricultural extension were recommended.
