    Anti-suit Injunction in International Arbitration
    (Addis Ababa University, 2016-02) Solomon Girma
    The involvement of national courts is essential to the overall effectiveness of arbitration, both in domestic and international level. However, anti-suit injunction as an instrument of terminating or staying arbitral proceeding, the relationship of national courts and arbitral tribunals are vary between forced cohabitation and true partnership. Moreover, a marked increase of anti-suit injunctions issued by both Arbitral Tribunals and National Courts has been seen recently. This thesis, therefore, identifies the power of both national courts and arbitral tribunals towards issuing anti-suit injunction in international arbitration. In addition, compatibility of anti-suit injunction with the general purposes and principles of international arbitration have been critically scrutinized. Furthermore, the legal effect of anti-suit injunction in international arbitration is addressed in detail. Finally, after a profound analysis on the above three areas of controversies in international commercial arbitration, the thesis argues that since anti-suit injunction is a new trend in international arbitration, both National Courts and Arbitral Tribunals should always exercise this power with due care because their effects may be more harmful than the problem they are seeking to resolve it.

To achieve these objectives, the study employs a mixed-method research design that integrates both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Qualitative data are collected through semi-structured interviews with finance staff, program managers, and compliance officers in order to capture experiential insights into organizational financial practices. Quantitative data are obtained from financial reports, budgets, audit findings, and performance records spanning multiple fiscal periods. The data are analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to assess the extent to which financial management practices influence program delivery, donor confidence, and overall organizational performance. Furthermore, the study identifies common challenges faced by NGOs in Ethiopia, such as resource constraints, stringent compliance requirements, and capacity limitations, and proposes practical strategies to mitigate these issues. The findings are expected to serve as benchmarks for other NGOs operating in similar contexts, offering actionable recommendations for strengthening financial governance, accountability, and risk management. In addition to its practical implications, the study contributes to the academic literature by bridging theoretical frameworks with real-world applications, thereby deepening understanding of effective financial management within the NGO sector. Ultimately, this research provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and donors seeking to improve financial systems and ensure the long-term sustainability of development programs in Ethiopia. key Words: Financial Management, Budgeting, Internal Controls, Fund utilization, financial system and staff development IPSAS.

    . As the world moves towards a globalized service dominant economy system with experiencing rapid growth, many nations shift from a manufacturing –based economy to service economy, the major factor for this change is the invention of computer technology and advancement in telecommunication. This research was conducted with the objective of assessing management development practices and problems in Ethio telecom, It is an exploration of the issues concerning management development practices in terms of how development needs were assessed, and how the program is evaluated and the strategic position and roles of management development and giving suggestions to improve the effectiveness these activities. The research has adopted a qualitative and quantities approach. The data were gathered through a combination of structured interviews with 5 chief officers and the rest 218 a survey questionnaire were distributed for mangers and officers additionally the company policy and procedure were used as a secondary source of data. The study reveals that, there were absences of systematic management training needs assessment and of effective procedures for evaluation. Regularly the company provided training for managers whenever the mangers up graded to fill new position. Management development program faces many problems: lack of long term plan for developing managers, poor quality management training program, lack of private training centres, inaccurate development need assessment, difficulty to evaluate training and development out comes. Then I recommended that, management development program needs to be a systematic function, linked and derived from the overall organizational strategies, plans and policies, rather than being piecemeal, standalone activities, designed to react to the current organizational conditions In terms of management development need assessment, this process needs to be systematic; training needs should be assessed based on objective systematic techniques rather than being subjective to the mangers direct viewpoints and personal aspects and it should be for all managerial level by emphasizing the need to be on performance appraisal records and job descriptions. When assessing training needs, the analyses should include individual, organizational and job training needs rather than only individuals' needs.
