| dc.description.abstract | This study assesses the contrib ution of current resettlement program to susta inable food securi ty for inter-zonal and intra-zonal resettlement areas. in Dawuro Zone of SNNPR. Accordingly, the study employs comparative approach to assess the s ituation of resettlement program in contributing to food security to the inter-zonal ,· r. esettlers, intra-zona l resettlers and host communities. Two hundred fO lll1een (13%) sample households were selected for survey by using stratified and s imple random sampling techniques in two kebeles of each of inter-zonal resettlement and intrazonal resettlement areas and two host kebeles.' In add ition, focus group discussion with representatives of resettlers and host communities; key informant interviews and personal observations have been employed to thi s study. Study results show that the consultation about the program was made with maj ority of resettlers and host communities prior to the implementation of the program and their movement to the new area is vo luntarily based. The inter-zona l resettlers ·have been assisted with provision of different benefit packages until their first year harvesti ng, . but intra-zonal ones have not been benefited from any of the government ass istance except the provision of farm land. In addition, the minimum standard of basic infrastructu re and social service facilities were not establi shed either to inter-zonal or intra-zonal resettlers prior to the executi on of a program and have not yet been improved. It was also noticed that households in both resettlement areas are exhaustive ly depl eting forest for di fferent purposes and they have not been advised to plant new trees and to use alternative options to red uce reliance on natural resources like forest. J Food availability and food access to household heads through crop production, li vestock raring, bee keep in g and their income status have been improved in inter-zonal and intra-zonal resettlement areas as wel l as to host communities'after resettlement program. But agricultural activities and all income sources to househo ld heads are entirely re lied on rainfall which is highly vulnerable to shocks. On the other hands, the off-farm activities such as petty trade, handicrafts, agricultura l labor work and food-for work progr3l)1S wh ich can generate additional income to household heads to promote their assets and to' ·cope with adverse circumstances are hardly carried out by resettlers. The intervention of all co'ncerned bodies is indi spensable to reverse the problems re lated wi th resettlement and to enha!,) c.e the diversification of income sources to households in the area.
