The study was focused on the role of urban agriculture in job creation evidence from small and micro-farm enterprise participants of Jimma town, Oromia region, Ethiopia. One of the current issues in Ethiopian cities is unemployment. To address the overcrowding issue, the Ethiopian government has developed a program that encourages small and micro-farm business participants (SMFEs). An evaluation of the contribution of SMFEs to the creation of job prospects in Jimma Town is attempted in this thesis. Representatives from 82 cooperatives of SMFEs provided primary data for the study. Additionally, secondary data from the Jimma Town Industry Development Office and Enterprise were gathered. Descriptive statistical tools, including tables, frequency distributions, and percentages, were employed in the data analysis process to characterize the replies about the contribution of urban agriculture to employment creation. The study found that SMEs were successful in providing work for a large number of people. Only 4.9% of the SMFEs' representatives had prior work experience, while the majority (95.1%) had no prior work experience. The study found a favourable correlation between the expansion of SMEs and the creation of jobs. It is therefore essential to integrate the development policy of SMFEs with urban unemployment. Urban agriculture farming policy execution requires comprehensive strategies that incorporate several government agencies. The capacity of municipalities to handle the relationship between the informal economy and urban agriculture insecurity must be strengthened to promote the SMFEs sector. Additionally, institutions that offer a supportive environment for SMFEs must be improved. Instead of rushing to open more SMFEs, the government should concentrate on supporting the expansion of already-established SMFEs.
