摘要：This paper attempts to explore the impact of housing and urban development -induced displacement with a view to assessing the implications on poor female- headed households facing eviction and identifying policy options. Among the 10 sub cities of Addis Ababa city, the Arada sub city was chosen for the study. The target groups were female-headed households displaced from their former neighborhoods and resettled in less favored parts of the inner city of Addis Ababa. Using a multi-stage sampling procedure, the req uired information was collected from 150 households. The methods used to obtain the data included household surveys, key informant interview, personal observations and document reviews. The results o f the stud y reveal that female-headed households are gravely affected by housing and urban development-ind uced displacement. The data point to an increase in level of poverty, lose o f livelihoods and asset bases, unavailability and/or lack of service facilities, poor housing conditions and unaffordability of condominium houses. The study urges the need to revise policy strategies with a view to address the unmet demands of the affected community
