    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;The main purpose of the study was to identify and evaluate the challenges encountered&lt;br&gt;
through project management practices in Ethiopian Airports Infrastructure development&lt;br&gt;
projects. The study aims to point out these difficulties and thus improve the project&lt;br&gt;
management practice in order to benefit from the findings. A descriptive research method&lt;br&gt;
was used in order to achieve the intended purpose of the study. Questionnaire, interview and&lt;br&gt;
review were used for the purpose of collecting required data for the study. The Questionnaire&lt;br&gt;
survey were collected from the Ethiopian Airport employees who are directly involved in&lt;br&gt;
infrastructure development project planning, Executing and controlling. Purposive sampling&lt;br&gt;
technique was employed in selecting the samples. The data were analyzed using software&lt;br&gt;
Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS V.20) to generate mean, frequencies, standard&lt;br&gt;
deviation and percentages of the statics. The study found out that among 45 challenging&lt;br&gt;
factors identified in the literature participants are agreed on 18 factors as a significant&lt;br&gt;
challenge in projects they have been involved recently. Again ten of the identified factors are&lt;br&gt;
the major significant challenging factors these are; These are Lack of Project Management&lt;br&gt;
Skills and training in project management; Unexpected events with no effective response&lt;br&gt;
possible; Project schedule delays; Changing requirements late in the project and continuing&lt;br&gt;
change requests; Low commitment of Stakeholders towards planned projects;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
