The nature, objectives, outputs, outcomes and envisaged impacts of OMO-KURAZ-I sugar
factory project.
Nature of the project (producing sugar, ethanol and electricity from sugar cane)
Omo-Kuraz-1 Sugar Factory project is one among the four sugar factories planned to be
constructed at Kuraz Sugar Development Project. Omo Kuraz Sugar Factory One is
found in South region of South Omo Zone in Selamago District at a distance of 863 km
from Addis Ababa. The construction of the factory reached 80% of its completion.
The nature of the sugar factory project is production of sugar, ethanol and electric power
by using sugar cane as raw material. The sugar cane is grown by irrigation system from
OMO river.
Objective of the project
The objective of constructing the omo-kuraz 1 sugar factory project is to boosting sugar,
ethanol and electricity production to satisfy the domestic sugar, ethanol and electricity
demand and to decrease unemployment, and to develop Omo Kuraz society
economically, and by implementing various life-style-changing activities to benefit the
local society to bring about regional transformation within the country.as well as for any
possible export in the coming 3 to 4 years.
Output of the project
The Sugar Factory project plant will produce 2.5 Million quintals of sugar, 28 Million
liters of ethanol per year and It will also produce 60 Mega Watts of electricity and sends
40 of it to the national power grid using only 20 megawatts to itself, with 12,000 TCD
(Ton Crushed Per day) sugarcane crashing capacity.
outcome of the project
At this time the existing sugar factories which means Fincha, methara, wonji and kessem
sugar factories have covered only 60% of domestic sugar demand, the remained 40% is
imported every year. When the project completes it needs around 10,000 total manpower
for operation of the factory. Therefore, as the outcome of the project the domestic
demand of sugar, ethanol and electricity will be satisfied, the remained will be exported
to bring foreign currency and also unemployment will be decreased due to high
demand of employment.
Impact of the project
Positive Impact is benefits shown in a long term to the industry, environment or society
as a result of realized outcomes. The impact of the omo-Kuraz-1 sugar factory project to
the sugar corporation, society and to the country in general is significant. The Omo-
Kuraz society life style will be changed to modern style. They will use from access to
education which is made by sugar factory owner, they will get high chance of
employment and started to lead their life as a civilized society, previously they were far
from access to technology, education, modern transportation and access to clinic,
however after the sugar factory project started they started to access all those things. The
sugar corporation will be also profitable in a long term by receiving foreign currency
from exporting of sugar products this will be beneficial as a country in general in
economic growth.
The negative impact is like removing people from their land, environmental pollution due
to effluent from the factory.etc.

There are many misconceptions and myths surrounding M&E namely: it’s difficult, it’s
expensive, it requires high level skills, it is time and resource intensive, it only comes at the
end of a project and it is someone else’s responsibility.
There is often a sense of frustration because expectations of M&E activities appear to outstrip
resources and skill sets. This might relate to the context within which M&E is designed, who is
responsible for designing the processes and who is responsible for the analysis. evaluating
programs of the sugar factory project is complex due to the following points.
Cultivation and land clearing may take longer time as well as lack of manpower
access.
During land clearing and cultivation of the selected area for the factory project and
farming land for the sugar cane there will be a lot of challenges such as convincing the
Body, Mursi and konso people to make the to remove the selected area, specially the
Body and Mursi people their naked (never wear cloths) their life style is like ancient
peoples.so to hire and make them trained for using them for the project construction will
be challenged it may take longer time. That is because there are no other civilized people
around to use for the project.
Since the land is covered with full of forest and wild animals there will be a lot of risk to
clear the land, due to the wild animals, nature of the land and uncivilized people with
weapon, so it may not have completed on the programmed time.
2. Fincha sugar factory has a shortage of skilled manpower, from the total 3,000 (1500 operator,
1000 field workers and 500 supervisors and technical managers) of the factory workers, in
average only 40% of the workers are skilled Manpower, this is created due to high turnover
that made the skilled workers to become smaller. This caused the factory to decrease annual
product.
The top management decided to be created a new project of training for the unskilled
workers within three-year program to enhance the number of skilled person.
Objective of the project
To enhance the skilled manpower of Fincha sugar factory from 40% to 70% within three years.
The monitoring and evaluation frame work for the training will be as follows.
3.Establishing real project of monitoring frame work for enhanced capacity of electoral
management authority.
NB: - points in column one are indicators, the outcomes are: - Enhanced capacity of electoral
management authority to administer free and fair election. And Increased participation by
women and indigenous population in national and local electoral process in five regions by 2016.
