Abstract

This paper examines the Determinant of Household Adoption for Electric Injera Mitad in Debere Berhan Town, North Shewa Zone, Amhara regional state, Ethiopia in 2017/18.  A survey was conducted with a structured questionnaire for 269 households that were randomly selected from five kebeles and to provide empirical evidence on the adoption of electric injera  Mitad. The study used Multistage sampling technique for sampling design and collected the cross-sectional data. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis. The regression result reveals that Sex of household Head, Marital status, Family size, household head education level at post-secondary level, owning house, separate kitchen, owing of traditional Mitad, owning electric meter, and total amounts of household income are statistically significant at 1 % and 5 % level of precision. The results indicate that the significant variables have probabilities of explaining the adoption of Electric injera Mitad estimation. On the other hand, the remaining variables like age, own refrigerators and energy expenditure are found to be statistically insignificant. Thus, households’ education level should be increased through adult education. Family panning should be more addressed intensively, household’s income should be increased in different income generation schemes, the dissemination of electric meter should be accessed to all households and different modern improved electric injera mitad should be available to town households.
