| Abstract: | Abstract-The purpose of this study was to explore how local governments can use traditional communication technology tools for community engagement to increase the decision-making process at the grass-root level. We employed qualitative and quantitative mixed research approaches based on convergent parallel design. Stratified, simple random, purposive, and snowball are employed as sampling techniques. We applied thematic analysis for qualitative data, and the quantitative data analysis was made through SPSS 16 version. Our proof finding shows that in the Gambella region of Ethiopia, personal administrative networks overlooking public microphones, telephone, and public notice, and these traditional communication menses have become a pre-curser of information dominantly continued than modern media- Facebook, mobile, digital radio broadcast services due to corruptions, illiteracy, and poverty. The empirical findings show that based on the media richness theory, the traditional technological media are not accessible in all corners of the community. Surprisingly, as social network theory and analysis dictates, we found true that the local administrators' personal networks are a dominant medium to inform the public rather than modern platforms like the Internet. In this digital age, the general public should be aware of relevant and novel internet-based platforms to improve the community's ability for local decision-making. Due to its highest temperature and conflict-prone area, many researchers are not daring to undertake scientific research in the Gambella region of Ethiopia. It implies that this study brought new emerging issues and tried to fill gaps in the literature and practice. It provided insights that can inform policy development. |
