The aim of this thesis is to present from the historical perspective the Ethiopian Amharas as a nation, which, even though they are not forming majority of the state, they had and still have major impact on the Ethiopian society.

The structure of the work is divided in such a way in order to include all the relevant phases that are related to the history and life of the Ethiopian Amharas. The compilation of the work is based on the theoretical analysis and the study of the literature.

Role of Amharic is analyzed with respect to the educational system in Ethiopia, I am also referring to its role in connection with the so-called Amharization...

The cross sectional survey was done in 169 rondomly selected households. The collected Data was analyzed using multiple regression models with different functional forms (linear, semi-log) and heteroskedaticity corrected model was also used in each of functional forms to examine the structural relationship between the quantity of water demand and explanatory variables.

Amharas in Ethiopia
Zárubová, Martina ; Kumsa, Alemayehu (advisor) ; Záhořík, Jan (referee)
This thesis is devoted to the Ethiopian Amharas, who had and still have big impact on the present Ethiopian society in spite of not being majority in the state. Before it was thanks to the privileged position within the Orthodox Church and later, thanks to taking control of the educational system, when Amharic became the official language of whole Ethiopia. The work is based on theoretical study of literature and is structured in such a way as to include all the important phases of the history and life of Ethiopian Amhara. In this thesis I give a brief overview of the history, including the legend of the origin of the Solomonic dynasty, to which Amharas still avow. In the view of the fact that significant role in the Ethiopian society plays also the affiliation of most of the Amharas with the Ethiopian Orthodox Church I am pursuing its history and hierarchy. I also appraise religious rituals, feasts and celebrations. In individual parts of the thesis I follow up the historical roots of Amharic and its relevance to a particular language group. Role of Amharic is analysed also with respect to the so-called amharization process - Ethiopian modernization.

FDI and the spillover effect analysis: the case of Ethiopia
Turi, Abeba Nigussie ; Vacek, Pavel (advisor) ; Bauer, Michal (referee)
This thesis presents the spilling over effect resulting from the foreign direct investment with a focus on the manufacturing firms. It covers extensive econometric analysis based the Central Statistics Agency's (CSA) survey on the manufacturing firms and an Input-Output matrix done by the Ethiopian Development Research Institute (EDRI). A pooled, Fixed and Random Effect estimation techniques are employed for estimating the log transferred production function augmented for the spillover proxies: Backward, Forward and Horizontal. Yet, as is stated in a lot of literatures like that of Javorcik (2004), the Cobb-Douglas production function suffers from the endogeneity problem and there is a need for a better estimation technique that can capture and solve this problem. As a result, I also used the Levinsohn-Petrin estimation technique, which used intermediate inputs as a proxy for unobservable shocks and the residuals from this estimate used as a measure of total factor productivity (TFP) of the firm. The TFP analysis from the LP estimation suggests that a one percentage point increase in the foreign presence in the downstream sectors is associated with the 1.1 percent rise in the total output of each supplying industries. Likewise, a one percentage point increase in the weighted share of output in the...

The Magnitude of Governance in Addressing HIV/AIDS Problems in Ethiopia
Balcha, Daniel Messele ; Potůček, Martin (advisor) ; Frič, Pavol (referee) ; Kumsa, Alemayehu (referee)
This case study seeks to understand the scope of governance in addressing HIV/AIDS issues in Ethiopia by making use of HIV/AIDS partnership forums that exist in the country. All individuals representing the government sector, the NGO sector, the for profit sector and HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office (HAPCO) both at the national level and in the three regions namely Oromia Region, Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNPR) and Addis Ababa have been interviewed. Additional data were gathered using a PARTNER tool survey and also relevant documents have been analyzed. The social capital and governance theories create a framework where actors enjoy partnerships and use the benefits in both policy making and implementation. With the help of a problem tree and thematic analysis the study describes the causal effect relationship of the factors affecting partnerships and their ultimate consequence in maximizing social capital and governance. Accordingly, the thesis identifies the specific effects of the 2009 law on partnership endeavors in particular and HIV/AIDS policy implementation in general. Moreover, the study points out the existence of insufficient partnership in both decision making and policy implementation.
