    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-09-01) Mustefa Defo; Girmachew Alemu
    This thesis examines the protection of the right to education for IDPs resettled in Adama city following the 2017conflict in the Somali region of Ethiopia. Addressing the gap in literature, it focuses on the practical implementation of educational rights within this specific context. Using qualitative methods, such as doctrinal analysis and a case study, the research assesses how well the resettlement processes have delivered accessible, quality, and affordable education to IDPs. The thesis also evaluates government policies' effectiveness in safeguarding these rights. Findings highlight significant challenges including inadequate infrastructure, resource shortages, and lack of psychosocial support for trauma-affected students. Despite some progress, substantial gaps remain in ensuring the realization of IDPs’ right to education. The thesis concludes with recommendations to enhance policy frameworks, improve resource allocation, and boost coordination among stakeholders. This research contributes to the understanding of IDP protection in Ethiopia
