A Policy Analysis of Environmental Justice Movements in Ethiopia's Extractive Sector, 2020

This study addresses a current research gap in African Studies concerning Environmental Justice Movements in Resource-Rich African Nations in Ethiopia. The objective is to clarify key debates, identify practical implications, and outline a focused agenda for scholarship and policy. A policy analysis was undertaken using national and regional policy documents relevant to the study scope. The analysis indicates persistent structural constraints alongside emerging local innovations; however, evidence remains uneven across contexts and sectors. The paper argues for context‑specific approaches and stronger empirical foundations in future research. Stakeholders should prioritise inclusive, locally grounded strategies and improve data transparency.
