Abstract

Gambella National Park has several management challenges that included previous settlement and current settlement and agricultural investment. The objectives of this study were to examine previous and current settlement and agricultural investment in the surrounding area of Gambella National Park. The method that was employed for this study was systematic sampling. ArcGIS version 10.5 was used for analyzing the data. Among seven Refugees camps, Pugnido 1 with a total population of 68,176 (17%) and Pugnido 2 with a population of 17,793 (14%) are close to Gambella National Park followed by Tirikedi 72,876 (18%). It also shows that some of the current resettlement or villages were wrong placed inside the Gambella National Park. Therefore, the current resettlement program becomes another challenge for management of Gambella National Park. The Karaturi, Rushi, and Saudi leased land are around vicinity and some part of Gambella National Park. Karaturi leased land includes 50,000 ha of land from the National Park. As a result of current agricultural investment, the previous National Park which was 5,06 km2 is now reduced to 4,575 km2. The institutional change indicated the serious turnover of staff at Gambella National Park.
