    (Addis Ababa University, 2020-06) Adela, Firesenbet; Atara, Adane(PhD)
    Ethiopia is incredibly work to get out the scoieties from poverty and meet the growing demand through various development policies, plans, and projects. Several studies described that both government and international non-governmental organizations works on different development projects to realize socities development. Ethiopia is also one of these countries with poor project execution, number of failed projects and few successful projects. Despite several causes can be enlisted to these inefficiencies, factors related to project management take the lion share. Particulalry, the project identification and selection phases of the project management cycle is the key stage for both the success and failure story of the project. Therefore this study aimed at assessing the project identification and selection processes in selected governmental and International non-governmental organizations in Ethiopia. The research is designed to produce both qualitative and quantitative information through a cross-sectionall study design. A set of criteria was developed to select relevant sample units in government and international non- governmental organizations. 56 respondents are participated on the study. A structured questionnair is designed, distributed and collected using Google online survey form. The finding of the study showed that government projects have less engagenment to stakeholder identification, communication, community need assessment, and participation. Moreover non-government organization gives higher team focus or team selection in the identification phase of the project. Government organizations are also have better feasibility assessment practice than non-governmental organizations. The non-government organizations uses government plan and police as a good source of project identification in addition to other sources and have a good team composition.Besides these, most government projects lack robust project identification and selection compared to non-governmental organizations. Government projects should focus on stakeholder identification; inviting stakeholders to contribute their ideas; the needs of the stakeholder, and communicating with stakeholders before implementing and commissioning the project.Further studies should be done on how team members of government development projects are recruited. Therfore, Peoject identification, screening, selection, feasibility and prefeasibility study sould be done in depth in both non-government and government organizatoions.

    Classifying Insider Threat from Electronic Mail Communication
    (Addis Ababa University, 2016-06-10) Adela, Firesenbet; Mulugeta (PhD), Wondwossen
    In a current interwoven global world the means of communication has been diversified. Electronic mail is one of the popular, simple and user-friendly for communication. The implication of this means of communication is reflected in various corners of the day to day activities of the modern world. Currently, email communication is set as a standard procedure for office communication in many organizations. Having the good face of such a communication approach, on the contrary unwanted distracting messages could bring institutional instability and even collapse. The objective of this research work is to classify the level of being insider threat using email text classification techniques from the electronic communication. In order to meet the stated objective, data mining algorithms in Weka 7.8 software has been used to classify the email texts. The experiment was conducted using 9808 negative and positive dictionary words identified by psychologists for training. For testing individual email files are used. The Enron higher officials email text was investigated after extensive text preprocessing techniques. The text preprocessing technique includes removal of email header, signature, alphanumeric character etc.SMO Classifiers are employed to manage the experiment. Therefore, the text email analyzed was categorized into negative and positive word counts then the negative word count was further classified into five stages of threat levels. Among twenty eight higher officials investigated at Enron Company, 22 of the employees were found at the exploration stage, one on exploitation stage, two on execution stage and three of them classified under escape stage. The evaluation of the classifier is acceptable and suitable for threat classification. Moreover, a court which was designated to investigate wire fraud, conspiracy and false audit report, convicted 3 of the officials spend in prison from 1.5 – 24.3 years. These individuals were classified under the escape stage of this study. Eventually, the output of this study indicates the promising use of text classification technique to trace and classify insider threats from email communication. Hence, further study and standardization of such a work could bring better result in organizational security and institutional functioning.
