This paper deals with the the impact of road traffic accident on economic growth in Ethiopia. It explains the trend of road traffic accident in Ethiopia, to analyze the effects of socio-economic factors on road traffic accident in Ethiopia. Besides it examines the effect of risk factor on road traffic accident to investigate the effect of road traffic accident on economic growth in Ethiopia.
Road traffic accident is the cause of public health and development crisis. Road traffic accident is also expected to increase in Ethiopia if road safety is not addressed adequately by government. According to world health organization(WHO) globally, the number of people killed in road traffic crashes each year is estimated to be 1.2 million, while the number injured could be as high as 50 million the combined population of five of the world’s large cities.
This study will help in identifying the impact of traffic accident on economic growth in Ethiopia. More specifically the study has values for the following bodies with their relevant significance. To create awareness among policy designers, decision makers, to indicate managerial direction for the transport authority and traffic management pertaining to the impact of the traffic accident on economic growth; and, to obtain information, knowledge and experience that may serve to reduce the risk of road traffic accident in the Ethiopia. Moreover, it may be able to serve as a reference for those who are going to carry out further study in this field in depth and as a reading material who are interested to.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION: This chapter sets the stage for the research by establishing the context of road traffic accidents (RTAs) as a major public health and development crisis globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like Ethiopia. It highlights the alarming statistics on RTA fatalities and injuries worldwide and in Ethiopia, emphasizing the need for the study. The chapter also clearly defines the problem statement, stating that RTAs lead to significant loss of life, disability, and property damage, impacting economic growth. The objectives and research questions are laid out, focusing on examining the impact of traffic accidents on the Ethiopian economy. The significance of the research is also explained, justifying the need to understand the economic burden of RTAs and inform policy-making for improved road safety.
CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW: This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of existing literature on road traffic accidents, focusing on global trends, the situation in Ethiopia, the relationship between transportation and economic growth, and risk factors associated with RTAs. It synthesizes findings from various studies, including those on the costs of RTAs, such as the study by Satar R. et al. (2014) on the costs of road transport crashes in Iran. The review also incorporates research on African countries' traffic safety challenges (Greg C., 2009) and analyzes trends, causes, and costs of RTAs in Ethiopia (Amanuel K., 2017). By reviewing previous research, this chapter identifies gaps in existing knowledge and lays a foundation for the present study's contribution.
CHAPTER THREE: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: This chapter details the research approach, sampling design, variables, model specification, and data analysis techniques employed in the study. It will outline the methods used to collect and analyze data, ensuring the rigor and reliability of the findings. It specifies the statistical model used to examine the relationship between RTAs and economic growth, likely including a discussion of classical linear regression assumptions and the tests conducted to assess the validity of these assumptions. This is a crucial section that explains how the research objectives will be met through the chosen methodology.
CHAPTER FOUR: STUDY PLAN: This chapter presents a detailed plan for conducting the research, including a schedule and logistical considerations. This section would outline the timeline for each phase of the study, from data collection to analysis and report writing. The logistical aspects would cover resources and potential challenges, including costs associated with stationary, data acquisition, and other related expenses. This chapter ensures the feasibility and practical aspects of the proposed research.
