| dc.description.abstract | This study examines the relationship between foreign direct investment and human rights condition of the local people in Ethiopia. It mainly examines the right to housing and livelihood form the human rights perspective in relation to manufacturing sectors of FDI. The research studies the housing and livelihood conditions of the local people when their land expropriated due to the FDI. The research takes Addis Ababa, Bole Lemi and Kilinto industrial zones as a case study. Addis Ababa is selected as a case study because it hosts the largest foreign direct investment (manufacturing sector) in Ethiopia. Qualitative research method is employed and semi structured interview is conducted with the victims of land expropriation, and key informant interview with government officials and officers in Ethiopian Human Rights Commission and Ethiopian Human Rights Council conducted. In addition, FGD is conducted with the victims of land expropriation and eviction. The establishment of FDI in Addis Ababa impacted the livelihood and housing conditions of the local people. The study reveals that the land expropriation of the farmers due to FDI resulted in livelihood and housing problems. The small amount of compensation, lack of adequate resettlement, and livelihood and income restoration affected the community. The land expropriation without appropriate mitigating measures exposed the community for livelihood crisis and vulnerability and also resulted in housing problems. It violates the human rights of the community, the right to housing and livelihood, prescribed in the ICESCR and ICCPR.
