Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) development in Ethiopia has prioritized by the government;rnfor economic growth, employment generation and building an industrial economy and also they are takenrnas a vital tool in achieving the country’s mission to become a middle-income country by 2025. Thernhandloom weaving enterprises had one of the enterprises provides hope for the government to achieve thisrntarget as one of the growth oriented enterprise. In the contrary the enterprises has registered very stagnantrngrowth level as compared with construction and urban- agriculture. Therefore, the purpose of this study isrnto suggest ways of enhancement for the level growth of Small and Medium Waving Enterprises (SMWE)rnthrough Supply Chain Integration (SCI); additionally the study shows the government supports role on thernenterprises growth level in terms of SCI. In order to conduct this research, questionnaire was developed rnand distributed for 20 respondents in ten enterprises(two questionnaire for each enterprises top managers)rnand all the questioners were collected by using schedule data collection method; beside the questionerrninterview also conducted with experts to supports the findings from the questionnaire.rnThen the collected data was analyzed using IBM SPSS 20; in both descriptive and inferential statics.rnRegarding the descriptive statistic the major finding shows; the current integration level of the enterprisern(both internally and externally with their supplier and customers) is very weak and the major factors arernlack of trust and collaboration between supply chain actors, so many small transaction in the whole supplyrnchain, lack of top management commitment, poor communication and information sharing, and not havernawareness about supply chain integration. rnRegarding the correlation, it is possible to conclude that there is a strong and positive relationship amongrnthe three supply chain integration dimensions and also the dimensions (SCI as whole) with governmentsrnsupport has a strong and positive relation with enterprise growth. But the regression statics excludes thernsupplier integration because of its statistical insignificance (P> 0.05), however the final model include thernsupplier integration, after conducting the model validation process; as the result of the expertise rnsuggestion, correlation analysis and criticality of the supplier integration for the SMWE growth. rnFinally the study develop a model and recommended the enterprises to have proper internal integration,rnsupplier integration and customer integration strategies with the proper utilization of governments supportrnin order to enhance their growth.
