The agricultural sector in Ethiopia is characterized by its poor performance to attainrnself-sufficiency. One of the consequences of the poor performance of Ethiopianrnagriculture is the rampant problem of food insecurity. The problem of food insecurity inrnthe country is a complex combination of factors, which increase the extent and level ofrnvulnerability to food insecurity for a great number of Ethiopians. Aiming to address thisrnproblem through its Sustainable Development and Poverty Reduction Programrn(SDPRP), the government of Ethiopia selected resettlement program as to move foodrninsecure people from severely degraded areas to fertile ones.rnTo answer the major objective, assessing the role of resettlement in alleviating thernproblem of food insecurity, this study employed both quantitative and qualitativernapproaches of data collection. Quantitative approach was used to collect data andrnanalyze the food security situation of resettlers. On the other hand, qualitative sourcesrnwere used to assess problems resettlers face and their coping strategies. Householdrnsurveys, Focus Group Discussions, Key Informants Interviews, and Direct FieldrnObservation were the primary sources of data collection.rnEven if the level differs, according to the findings, resettlers in Chewaka are foodrninsecure. The resettlement program undertaken in Chewaka can be concluded asrnneither successful nor a failure. This is because resettlers' total production has increasedrnthan before and they have better access to land than before. On the contrary, problemsrnrelated to means of production, market and marketing, credit and saving,rninfrastructural and social amenities, and other problems related to socia-economic andrnenvironment hindered addressing food insecurity in Chewaka resettlement area.rnResettlement program can be taken as one component of rural development andrnaddressing food insecurity. This is because the cause offood insecurity in Ethiopia is notrnonly limited to shortage of land. As a result, both short and long term interventions arernneeded concerning means of production; food availability, access, and utilization;rnmarket and marketing activities; and infrastructural and institutional arrangements.
