Many agricultural interventions are working on empowering women in agriculture to address high dietary quality, because of womens’ are mainly the caregiver of food in the household.. Due to womens’ are highly dominated by men’s the dietary diversity in Ethiopia is still very low that is why resources are mainly in hand of men. Hence, this study aims to assess the role of women empowerment for householddietary diversity in Libokemkem and Enebsie sar midir woredas, and subsequently assess the level of womens’ empowerment. In this study, 200-sample households were selected using multi stage random sampling techniques. A cross-sectional study was conducted from November, 2019 to October, 2020 to assess the role of Womens’ Empowerment in Agriculture for Household Dietary Diversity in Libo Kemkem and Enebsie Sar Midir woreda, Ethiopia. Abbreviated womens’ empowerment in agricultural index (A_WEAI) was used to capture empowerment level of womens’. Two stage least squares and ordinal least square estimation was also conducted to analyze the relationship between women empowerment in agricultural index and dietary diversity. oridinary least square regression was used to analyze the effect of empowerment indicators on household dietary diversity.The result in both regression models shows as there is positive and statistically significant effect between women empowerment and household dietary diversity. The finding in the oridinary least squares shows that input in productive decision, input in income decision, ownership of assets and input in credit decisions have positive and statisticaly significance..
