| dc.description.abstract | In Ethiopia, several dry ports have been developed and operated since 2009. Modjo dry port is one of these types of dry ports which have been operated since 2009. Modjo dry port faces several challenges, which have a significant impact on its operations performance. In this regard, this paper investigates the challenging factors of Modjo dry port operations. This research has adopted a mixed method research methodology by employing semi-structured faceto- face interviews in the qualitative method and questionnaire surveys in the quantitative method and used both explanatory and descriptive analysis. The researcher has distributed survey questionnaires for 170 samples of actors at Modjo dry port and interview discussions with eight key informants about the challenges at Modjo dry port operations. Multiple regression is employed for data analysis. Findings suggest that six significant challenging factors such as government policy, socio-cultural influence, hinterland conditions, technological advancement, information accuracy and capacity are identified as Modjo dry port operations challenges. Theses challenging factors have great impacts on the performance of Modjo dry port. Due to these impediments, the Modjo dry port performance is poor. This thesis is expected to be of managerial value to dry port operators, when developing strategies to enhance operational efficiency and imperative improvement is needed especially in customs clearance technology and introducing a range of value-added services especially in Modjo dry port for its own development and client’s benefits. | en_US |
