The Gambella enclave serves as a crossroads for trade between Ethiopia and Sudan. Since then, weak development in relation to its enclave settlement has been observed. Keeping these gaps in mind, the paper is motivated by a study of the relationships between ethnic enclave settlement and weak development in city. A hybrid methodology was used in the study, and a sample size of 500 households from the five Kebeles that spatially structured Gambella city was used. Moreover, officials from the city administration, Gambella municipality, and Gambella urban development bureau were among the targets for interview. Data was gathered using a variety of instruments, including surveys, interviews, focus groups, and visual observations. Data from the survey was analyzed using RStudio. In this manner, an ethnic enclave settlement in Gambella city resulted in a significant level of 1 percent connection with four development spectrums, according to structural equation modeling (SEM) outputs that are either positive or negative, where a 72 percent mismatch in development sector because of the ethnic enclave settlement is observed. In order to properly utilize ethnic enclaves as resources for development and prosperity in Gambella, policymakers need comprehensive multicultural city planning that invests in residents’ attitudes and thinking. This planning has the potential to curb the observed challenges that hinder development in Gambella City through creating a favorable environment for local and indigenous knowledge, investing in huge public goods, and adopting new trends of entrepreneurship that can be admired by many who want to own the city.
