  <dc:description>Development- induced displacement is a growing global phenomenon that uproots people from their homes, lands, and familiar surroundings. This study aims to comprehensively understand the impact of development-induced displacement on the livelihood outcomes of displaced households in Bishoftu city three woredas. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study employed a purposive and snowball sampling technique to select informants from the target population. Primary and secondary data were collected, with primary data obtained through in depth interviews, focus group discussions, and observations, while secondary data were gathered from books, Journal, articles, and published and unpublished materials. Thematic data analysis was employed, involving transcription and interpretation of the collected data. The study"s findings reveal that development induced displacement imposes a range of negative impacts on the livelihood the resettled community, with significant impacts including loss of employment and income, weakened social ties, and diminished public services. In response to these challenges, displaced households employ various coping strategies such as diversifying income sources, international migration, borrowing, adjusting consumption patterns and increasing the number of working group household members. The study suggests that all community assets should be properly valued during the resettlement process, concerted efforts by the relevant government bodies are needed to restore lost livelihood activities, and special attention should be given to minimizing livelihood-associated risks.</dc:description>
