Abstract

This paper systematically discusses collaborative post-conflict Recovery and Growth eco-system for small and medium scale manufacturing enterprises (SMMEs) in the case of war-torn Tigray, Northern Ethiopia. While discussing the eco-system, theoretical generalization on enabling pathways and policies, scientific methods of comparative analysis, and correlative data triangulation are employed. Examining pre economic contributions of the SMMEs followed by analysis and characterization of the enterprises being under the Tigray war was the prior eco-system agenda. The aim was to map out qualitative and quantitative baseline data covering a time period between December 2020 and June 2021. The finding consequently reveals though the trivial number of SMMEs have been created promising jobs and were fairly generating income, they are devastated being under the civil war and contributed financial and socio-economic losses in the war-torn Tigray in particular and in Ethiopia by large. The policy nursed Recovery and Growth Eco-system is therefore expected to give intelligence for policy makers and for regional and Federal governorships of the country to spontaneously recover the impacted SMMEs within the intended case study.
