Policy makers acknowledged ability of industrialization through industrial policies to bring prosperity, new jobs, and better economies for all.

This study tried to examine the implementation practice of Ethiopia‟s Industrial policy. The study do have three specific objectives to evaluate the performance of industrial sector under GTP II, to assess the internal validity, clarity and comprehensiveness of industrial policy and to examine factors influencing the successful implementation of industrial policy. In order to attain the objective of the study and answer the research questions, both descriptive and exploratory research methods were used. The study employed mixed research approach to collect, analyze and interpret the date. Both primary and secondary sources of data were employed in order to obtain relevant data to the study. In this regard, in order to collect primary data, questionnaire survey and interview techniques were used and the questionnaire was self-administered. The study also adopted a face-face interview. Non-probability sampling method was employed to select the samples in order to achieve the objective the research. From the non- probability sampling method quota sampling was employed. Accordingly, 90 samples were selected from the Ministry of Trade and Industry five institutions accountable to the Ministry. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Based on the above mention methodology and design the study found that the performance of the industrial sector found to be disappointing in achieving its targets set in the second Growth and Transformation Plan (GTPII). The study revealed that the goals of the Industrial policy found to be explicitly stated and concrete enough. Regarding the internal validity, the study finds out that the policy is supported by internal validity in logically drawing outcome from the goals and strategy priorities. Evidence from the analysis of findings from this study suggested that the industrial policy/strategy is comprehensive enough to cover issues related to the industrial sector. And finally the study identified a number of factors influencing industrial policy implementation. The study recommended that the development of new industrial policy document, good coordination mechanisms and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms should be implemented. | en_US |
