    The primary aim of this study was to assess the protection of informal settlers from forced eviction by analyzing the substantive and procedural safeguards in place, as well as their patterns and extent in the Yeka and Arada sub-cities. A qualitative research approach was employed for data collection, including in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, observations, and key informant interviews. The study finds out that there are both substantial gaps and failure to implement procedural safeguards to protect informal settlers from forced eviction by different bodies. Hence, this leads to the violation of other human rights including the right to housing, the right to livelihood, the right to food. The finding also indicate that the national legal frameworks does not align with different international human rights instruments in regards to the right to adequate housing and protection from forced eviction. The findings also reveal that there is no adequate legal framework to protect the rights of informal settlers
