Engagement Opal Ring In Ethiopia.

By Aamir Mannan. 

We would like to thank in particular Getahun Tafesse, in Ethiopia for his personal

commitment to the project. In addition we would like to acknowledge the inputs of Dr

Padraig Carmody, David Doyle, and Michael Seifu of DCU. We have had the benefit

of a supportive environment and practical assistance in the School of Law and

Government in DCU, who also provided financial support for the presentation of

interim findings from this project at international academic conferences. We would

also like to thank DCU’s central research committee for providing a PhD scholarship

to Michael Seifu in the context of this research.

This paper, authored by Eileen Connolly draws on work carried out in the Centre for

International Studies DCU, and in the Ethiopian Economic Policy Research Institute

(EEPRI) in Ethiopia. The Field work was primarily carried out by EEPRI based on a

questionnaire jointly designed by the two organisations. Additional interviews were

carried out by Dr. Padraig Carmody of St Patrick’s College, DCU.
