Although the manufacturing sector offers a path to long-term economic progress, its expansion is not without obstacles. The current study by using the qualitative method of approach was explore the challenges faced by the pharmaceutical manufacturer found in Ethiopia. Data was collected through key informant interview and focus group discussion by enquiring different stakeholders in the industry and key personnel of the manufacturers. The study subject was identified and choose by purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was used for the transcribed interviews and FGD replies, while manual transcript analysis was also done. Based on the findings, the main challenge for domestic pharmaceutical manufacturer that are currently affecting their business are Shortage/lack of hard currency, unavailability of domestic active and inactive raw materials manufacturer, lack of sustainable financing, shortage working capital/access to finance, problem related with plant infrastructure, weak marketing structure, and lack of research and development capacity. The root cause for the mentioned challenges is mainly absence of cognizance about sector by the administration, poor coordination among different stakeholders, poor export performance made by the country. The study also explored that the methods used by the companies to tackle the above problems. Ethiopia's pharmaceutical industries are running well below their potential, and their average capacity is getting smaller over time.

The main purpose of this study is to assess a teacher's' process of preparing, teaching and learning of deaf students at Alpha Special School, Addis Ababa. In order to achieve the objective of the study, 16 respondents participated in the study. The result of the study was analyzed qualitatively. The findings of the study indicated a lack of appropriate instructional strategies, lack of training opportunities, lack of attention to classroom preparation, and the absence of support and communication. All were found to be major problems. The study shows that half of the teachers who participated in this study did not have enough training in sign language, causing communication barriers between the students and teachers. The deaf students’ learning and their relationship with their teachers was impeded by a lack of communication and preparation. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations were proposed, that promote the development of a teacher's’ preparation, sign language skills and student support
