    Assessment of Challenges in the Implementation of Electromechanical Projects in Ethiopia: A Case Study of Unilever Manufacturing Plant in East Zone Industry Park – Heating Ventilation and air-conditioning System
    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-11) Daniel Amare; Zegeye Muluye (PhD)
    The electro-mechanical construction sector in Ethiopia has seen a tremendous evolution in the last few years and is expected to bloom even further in the coming years. It is one of the economic sectors which employed numerous citizens and can possibly play a critical role for the growth and transformation of the country. Successful implementation of electro-mechanical projects in to reality is one of the most important and critical aspects of any electro-mechanical projects worldwide. The electro-mechanical sector in Ethiopia is challenged via several challenges affecting its successful impetrations. This research project work aims to assess challenges in the implementation of electromechanical projects in Ethiopia: a case study of Unilever manufacturing plant in east zone industry park - HVAC system. This research study work used a quantitative methodology, collecting data through the use of questionnaires. Purposive sampling was used to choose a total of fifty-four participants who agreed to take part in the study. The study found a number of factors affecting electro-mechanical project implementation in Ethiopia; therefore, it can be used as a guide for future research. It was discovered that there is a serious gap; in electro-mechanical (HVAC) awareness and practice, level of project planning and coordination, resource availability, level of technical expertise, technological infrastructure, familiarity with the regulations and guidelines governing electro-mechanical systems, integration and adoption of cutting-edge technologies. The research recommends that critical interventions in electro-mechanical systems awareness and practices creation, involvement of project planning and coordination specialists, availing technological infrastructures to support project implementation, the need for electro-mechanical firms to better reorganize so that they can better deal with project planning, strategizing, coordination and implementations is a must if the sector is deemed to succeed and tap its full potential in the coming years. Key words: Electro-Mechanical, Project, Project Implementation Challenges, HVAC.

    Youth’s Listening Habit of Environmental Radio Programs: a Case of Sinehizb-Ena-Akababi Environmental Radio Program.
    (Addis Ababa University, 2009-11) Daniel Amare ; Amare Asgedom
    This study examined the radio listening habit of the youth on environmental issues. It also explored the effectiveness of the environmental radio program Sinehizb-ena-Akababi. To generate the appropriate data, a three stage triangulated research design, employing qualitative approach was devised. Using purposive sampling a total of 36 high school students in Addis Ababa who are between the ages of 15-24, who are listeners of radio and also who are willing to take part in the study were drawn from three high schools and participated in the study. This study elicited some insights which can help in understanding the radio listening habit of the youth on environmental issues. Accordingly, the study showed that the radio listening habit of the youth group on environmental issues was irregular and poor. It is found that the youth audiences give priority for issues of sport activities and social matters. They also incline to listen to programs which incorporate entertaining elements in them. The study also identify that the youth audience don’t attend the radio program Sinehizb-ena-Akababi because of the inconvenience transmission time of the program. Some don’t want to attend some radio stations in relation with the problem of credibility showed in the stations.
