| dc.description.abstract | Street vendors are the most visible of those working in the informal sector and attract attention than any other occupation in the informal economy. The main objective of the study was to investigate whether the livelihoods of these vendors have improved or not. Arada Sub city was randomly chosen using the simple lottery method and sample of 60 vendors were selected from a total of 93 registered vendors. Primary data was used to instigate the study. As such self administered questionnaires and key informant interviews were used to assess the situation. The result of the study indicated that more than half of the vendors' livelihoods still remain subsistent. Vendors were prohibited to construct the make-shifts shelters because of the' city's administration modernistic view of cities which highly emphasized on orderliness and cleanliness of the city. Effective participation in the selection of vending space, and other services is proposed by the author. Most of all, Government's attitude towards street vending should change to create a badly needed policy.
