The study adopted descriptive and explanatory research design with quantitative research approach. Census method was employed to collect primary data on pertinent information by using online data collection method from 66 respondents. Descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis used to analyze the data. The result obtained prevailed that, respondents received limited number of training from EngenderHealth Ethiopa. There is strong positive and significant linear relationship between variables constructed to measure employee empowerment and employee performance at 1% significant level. Moreover, the result of multiple linear regression prevailed that, the effect of employee empowerment practice have positive and significant on employee performance. In addition to these, the standardized coefficient of information sharing, knowledge development and autonomy confirms a one standard deviation increase of these variables increase the employee performance respectively by 0.368, 0.227 and 0.498 standard deviation at 1%, 10% and 1% significant level. Based on the study finding, the study recommends providing and increasing the frequency of all rounded and specific training for the employees in order to boost their performance .The study also recommends that EngenderHeaalth Ethiopia should continue empowering employee practices and the rewarding system should be place on performance based decision

    LULCC is the quantitative changes in the area extent that is increase or decrease of a given type of LU and LC. In Ethiopia LULCC has been recognized as an important driver of environmental change in the country. Therefore a systematic analysis of LULCC is so crucial in order to understand the extent of the change and take necessary measures. The main objective of this study was to understand the LULC dynamics of Chi/alo Mountain and its environs. More specifically, the study analyzed the LULCC over the past 38 years, assess the impact of LULCC on biophysical and socioeconomic factors and identifY drivers of LULCC in the study areas. The study has made use of sequential satellite images (1973, 1986, 2000 and 2011) and the analysis " carried out using RS and (GIS) in conjunction with field verifications. Moreover socio-economic surveys were also used to interpret the drivers of LULCC and associated negative impact occurring on both biophysical and local community. Accordingly the LULCC analysis showed forestland is continuously decrease during the three comparison period i.e. (1973-1986), (1986- 2000) and (2000-2011) with (20.54 %), (19.61%), and (28.24%) re;pectively. On the other hand crop land showed continuous increment by (9.87 %), (5.92 %), and (59.86%) during the three period. The remaining LUiLC class showedjluctuation, thus increased one period and decreased on other period. The major causes of LULCC in the study area are; deforestation, agricultural expansion, scarcity of farm land, demand for wood, population growth, and fire hazard. These leads to distraction of natural resources such as reduce the availability jlora andfauna, soil degradation, climate change and decline of water resources. It also negatively affects the local :l community through decline livestock number; increase reliance on chemical fertilizer, shortage of water, wood and medicinal plants. Thus in order 10 alleviate the problem possible measure must be taken such as control rale of population growth, agro-forestry, aforestation & reforestation, creating off farm job opportunity etc must be undertake.
