dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted to analyze the roles of Iddirs to provide social services and contribute to local community development with particular to selected Iddirs in Adama city. The study employed mixed research method to compare and describe major services and activities carried out by Iddirs established during different decades. A two-stage sampling technique was employed to identify respondents for the collection of quantitative data. In the beginning, stratified sampling was used to categorize those Iddirs into three strata, and four Iddirs were randomly chosen from each stratum. In the second stage, simple random sampling was applied to select Iddirs members. Similarly, the purposive qualitative sampling was used to collect qualitative data. A structured survey questionnaire was used for quantitative data collection while the in-depth interview, key informant interview, and field observation were used to collect qualitative data. Qualitatively collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. Descriptive statistics like mean, frequency, and standard deviation; inferential statistics specifically ANOVA (Analysis of Variance), correlation, and independent samples T-test were used to analyze quantitative data. The findings of the study revealed the existence of great potential in Iddirs and all selected Iddirs are significantly engaged in the local development activities. The findings of the study will have paramount importance for social work implications to strengthen CBOs’ engagement in local development initiatives. In addition, the findings of the study will imply social policy to utilize the untapped potential of Iddirs for social service provision and local development. 1 Iddirs Contributions for Local Community Development and Social Services
