I am MA holder from Addis Ababa University in July 2008. Prior to this I was qualified in Diploma in Agriculture and then after working and serving as researcher in data collecting, compiling and summarizing in the Ethiopian Agricultural Research (EIAR) latter I was qualified with BA Degree and recently I have completed my MA. Now I need to pursue my PhD with this fresh mind. I found the PhD Position in Economics you announced from your University which is very relevant and important for a needy person like me from Ethiopia, Africa.

Sincerely,
