The Addis Ababa City Administration in Ethiopia constructed and handed over 496,971 homes to residents over the past five years.
The government led these construction efforts while allowing private developers, cooperatives, and volunteers to participate in the building process. During the first quarter of the current fiscal year, the administration delivered more than 4,200 homes to beneficiaries, including residents in the Merkato Begonnet neighborhood.
The city designed these new developments to create livable neighborhoods that include walking spaces, playgrounds for children, and areas for social interaction. These housing initiatives target a wide range of people, including veterans, older people, low-income households, and individuals displaced by other development projects. The Mayor's Office stated that these efforts aim to ensure different segments of society can access homeownership and benefit from urban growth.
