Descriptive survey IlIetilOd was employed in the research. Multiple data collection techniques were utilized; these include; stnl ctu red questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. Some narratives and case study were also documented to throw some light on some statistienl interpretations. The res ults of the study revealed that EAIP was succeeded in crellting employment opportunities for the young work fo rce. Accordingly, after the establishi ll ent of EAIP in Wlljitu Dibdibe locality SOllie residents of the collll11l.Inity were able to draw their income viII e/ll ployillmt.

For the rellsons thllt industries were estllblished without considering the physical and socia-economic background of the loca lities, weak commllnity participation in the indu strialization process and incomplete understanding of the rural livelihood by the Officials of the Region. Furthermore, the industrial expansion, rather than integration, has entailed fear of anticipated land expropriation to tire rural cOllllllunity. As a result, the /JIajority of the Wajitu Dibdibe cOlllllnlnity was skeptical as to their future livelihood sustainability. Hence, with the existing practice of indu strial expan sion the envisaged peasants nnd industrialists sYlI/biotic reil/tionship seellls to be gloomy .
