Abstract: The major objective of this study was to look into decomposition of Rural Poverty by demographic context of Rural Household in kola Agro-Ecological zone of Humbo Woreda. In order to attain this objective, relevant data were collected through structured interview. The generated data were computed through bivariate analysis of rural poverty profile by FGT indices (Incidence, Depth and Severity of poverty) in terms of demographic characteristic of the household in kola agro-ecological zone of Humbo Woreda. The bivariate analysis of rural poverty profile indicated that three FGT poverty measure were becoming less as number of the household members, female-male ratio, and dependence ratio decreasing in kola agro-ecological zone of Humbo Woreda. These indexes also shows that poverty was more severe among age sub-group of 20 to 29 years, informally educated household head, and households without vocational training in kola agro-ecological zone of Humbo Woreda. In this study, researchers clearly identified where poor were more concentrated. This suggests that such group of rural households should get assistance to get them out from poverty. Hence, project designers and other concerned body who participate on rural poverty reduction should look into those indicators of poor rural households to access poor rural households (high risk group) so that poor rural household could targeted.
