Addis Ababa Mayor announces progress on 100,000 new homes

Mayor Adanech Abiebie disclosed that Addis Ababa is constructing 100,000 houses across 21 sites in Ethiopia.

This project supports a five-year national goal to provide 1.5 million homes to citizens. The city administration is funding 50,000 of these houses through its own budget. The remaining 50,000 units rely on housing associations and public-private partnerships. Mayor Abiebie and Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed visited construction sites in Tulu Dimtu and Qetela Tera to inspect the progress of several housing blocks.

The mayor stated that the administration views easing the housing burden as a responsibility to the residents of the capital. The city plans to continue construction efforts to improve access to housing for the local population.
