| dc.description.abstract | Various studies reported that political parties play a critical role in promoting environmental causes and green development policies. In light of this, the major objective of this study was to assess Ethiopian political parties’ environmental programs. Hence, party programs during the 6 th General Elections were utilized as data. The findings revealed that Ethiopia’s political parties somehow exercised environmental policy integration (EPI) and advocacy in their programs. EPI was particularly witnessed in their discussion of alternative policies for the agriculture sector. The parties tended also to take stronger positions on the issues of environmental and natural resources conservation and pollution. One of the interesting findings of this research is Kaffa Green Party, which, as the first and only green party in Ethiopia, is found to be implementing EPI in most of its sectoral programs | |
