    The objective of the study is to estimate determinants of multi-dimensional urban poverty in Ethiopia. The study used secondary data to answer the research questions, it was collected by the Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia in all urban region and city administration of Ethiopia that is Integrated Surveys on Agriculture Ethiopia Socioeconomic Survey (ESS2 (2013/2014) – ESS3 (2015/2016).The study has used three types of analysis. These are descriptive analysis, econometric analysis using the Tobit regression models and multi-dimensional poverty estimation. The study found variable that is types of school education positively correlated with the probability of being multi-dimensionally poor people and variables these are age, marital status, household head education, number of rooms, access for own house and access to loan that negatively correlated to the probability of being multi-dimensionally poor. The finding of the tobit model shows that, factors such as accessed for own house, number of rooms, types of school educated, and access to loan positively and statistically significantly. Finally, the paper recommends that future studies should study multi-dimensional urban poverty other than the household level and in different points of view that is gender, organization and in rural to get a wider view of poverty profiles and policy implications.
