Abstract
Agriculture is the primary source of income in Ethiopia. It contributes significantly to the country's GDP. This research paper investigated the impact of stakeholder engagement on implementing agricultural development projects conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. The study employed a mixed methods approach combining
quantitative and qualitative research methods to evaluate the level of stakeholder engagement, assess the extent of project implementation, identify the factors influencing stakeholder engagement, and explore the challenges faced during project implementation. The results revealed that higher stakeholder engagement positively contributed to the successful implementation of agricultural development projects. The study provides empirical evidence on the importance of stakeholder engagement and offers insights for policymakers, project managers, and stakeholders to improve engagement practices and achieve better project outcomes
