Indigenous Knowledge Systems as Drivers of Innovation and Development in Ethiopia
Summary. Indigenous knowledge systems in Ethiopia drive innovation across environmental conservation, food security, healthcare, and disaster resilience, yet remain marginalized by modern governance and Western-oriented approaches. The study reveals these systems hold untapped potential for community well-being and socioeconomic resilience. Ethiopia must integrate indigenous knowledge into innovation and development policies through legal support, funding, and community participation to unlock this asset.
