Following production of large number of seedling each year; plantation campaign has conducted in large scale. The study was designed to assess the seedling production and its survival in East Shewa zone of Oromia region. From East ShewaAdami Tulu JidoKombolcha and Dugda Districts were selected. Survival count through transect on communal plantation sites wereused to obtain the primary data. Direct observation and the record of government nurseries seedling production and management data were obtained from the districts nursery during survey operation. As a result, even though there is a mass production of seedling and large scale plantation, there is poor nursery management and insignificant number of survival of planted seedlings on the field according to the data from survey result and actual count from selected plantation sites. Among the factors responsible for less seedling survival un accessible water sources and lack of overall management are the common factors at both districts. Therefore, it is important to take the revert action to save the undermined huge investment cost to the success of plantation. Post plantation management and budget allocation for transplanted plants also crucial for plantation success.
