dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges of Ethiopian male migrant returnees from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who were temporarily placed at Gurd Shola Transition center, in Addis Ababa. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used in this study. Participants were identified using purposive sampling. 159 migrant returnees were chosen to participate in the study. They provided data for the study through a questionnaire which was administered and recorded by data collectors. The data were analyzed mainly using descriptive statistics. The findings indicated that most participants had experienced challenging living conditions both in Ethiopia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In particular, physical and psychological problems were major challenges of the migrant returnees in both work and prison environments. One may conclude from the findings that the migrant returnees faced different challenges starting from the time they initiated the migration process, during the time they were working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, during their stay in the prison in Saudi Arabia, and after their return to their home country. Implications of the findings for the migrant returnees’ reintegration and the need for sound reintegration program that especially includes job opportunities are drawn.
