  • FOREWORD Statistical Data That Reflect the Socio-Economic And
    FOREWORD Statistical data that reflect the socio-economic and demographic conditions of the residents of a country are useful for designing and preparation of development plans as well as for monitoring and evaluation of the impact of the implementation of the development plans. These statistical data include population size, age, sex, literacy and education, marital status, housing stocks and conditions …etc. In order to fill the gap for these socio-economic and demographic data need, Ethiopia has conducted its third Population and Housing Census in the months of May and November 2007. The 2007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia was conducted under the auspices of the Population Census Commission that was established by a proclamation No. 449/1997. The Commission is chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister and the members of the commission were drawn from various relevant Ministries, Regional state representatives, House of Federation, National Electoral Board and the Central Statistical Agency, serving as the Office of the Census Commission (Secretariat). According to the proclamation, the processing, evaluation and analyses of the data collected in this census as well as its dissemination are the major responsibilities of this office. Thus, the Office of the Population Census Commission is pleased to present the census report entitled “The 2007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia: Statistical Report for Addis Ababa City Administration” for the users. Subsequently, another report which deals with detailed analysis of the result of the 2007 Population and Housing Census data is in the process of being prepared and will also be prepared and printed soon. Before the conduct of a census enumeration, numbers of preparatory activities were also carried-out.

  • CONDOMINIUM HOUSING in ETHIOPIA: the Integrated Housing Development Programme
    SUMMARY Since 2005 Ethiopia has been implementing an ambitious government-led low- and middle- income housing programme: The Integrated Housing Development Programme (IHDP) which aims to construct 400,000 housing units, create 200,000 jobs, promote the development of 10,000 micro- and small- enterprises, and enhance the capacity of the construction sector. This authoritative book documents the genesis of the programme and the country’s experience since its inception. As it is intended for policy makers, public sector officials, and urban and housing practitioners, it logically outlines the design of this programme and its effect on the multiple dimensions of housing. Through documenting the Ethiopian experience other developing countries with housing shortages and who face rapid urbanization and population growth can adapt and apply this logic to their own housing systems. In light of Ethiopia’s previously uncoordinated and inefficient housing sector, the Integrated Housing Development Programme has proved to be a highly successful tool for affordable housing delivery at a large scale. Importantly, the programme is not only a housing programme but a wealth generation programme for low-income households. Its success lies in its integrated nature - understanding housing as part of an integrated social, economic, and political system - which has the opportunity to greatly improve the living conditions and economic capacity of all sectors of society.

  • IDENTIFYING MAJOR URBAN ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT BLACK-SPOTS (Rtabss): a SUB-CITY BASED ANALYSIS of EVIDENCES from the CITY of ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA
    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 15, No.2, 2013) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania IDENTIFYING MAJOR URBAN ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT BLACK-SPOTS (RTABSs): A SUB-CITY BASED ANALYSIS OF EVIDENCES FROM THE CITY OF ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA Guyu Ferede Daie Addis Ababa University (AAU), Ethiopia ABSTRACT Despite its adverse socio-economic impact, a study on identification of road traffic accident black-spots (RTABSs) in Addis Ababa is either negligible or only a general attempt made for the city as a whole (National Road Safety Coordination Office, [NRSCO], 2005) without considering the specific experiences of each sub-city. The main aim of this study was, therefore, to identify the major accident black spots in each sub-city of Addis Ababa separately. For this purpose, secondary data obtained from Addis Ababa traffic police office was employed. The findings of the study revealed that there were 125 major accident black-spots in Addis Ababa as a whole. The distribution by sub-city shows10, 11, 24, 10, 21, 10, 20, 6, 4 and 9 RTABSs in Kirkos, Bole, Arada , Yeka, Lideta, Nifas-Silk/Lafto, Addis-Ketema, Akaki, Kolfe and Gullele sub-cities respectively. This has implication on the need for sustainable transport development planning. The RTABSs identified in each sub-city need to be focused while planning. Therefore, concerned bodies should encourage further investigation of specific causes for designing and implementing appropriate road safety control strategies in order to significantly reduce the incidence of road crashes in the city. This can be done by planning sustainable ways of designing transport system such as road networks that should accommodate the ever increasing number of vehicles followed by frequent inspection of vehicles themselves.

  • The Status of Green Spaces and Green Space Participatory Management in the City of Addis Ababa
    Msc Programme in Urban Management and Development Rotterdam, The Netherlands September 2014 Thesis Title: The Status of Green spaces and Green space Participatory Management in the City of Addis Ababa Name: Gezahegne Gebremeskel Supervisor: Somesh Sharma Specialization: Urban Environmental Management UMD 10 MASTER’S PROGRAMME IN URBAN MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT (October 2013 – September 2014) Name: Gezahegne Gebremeskel Country: Ethiopia Supervisor: Somesh Sharma UMD 10 Report number: Rotterdam, September 2014 ii Summary The unprecedented rapid urbanization of Addis Ababa, coupled the city’s high population growth has been entailing intricacies on city’s management, amongst which Green spaces management constitute a part. In pursuit of the brown agenda i.e. infrastructural development, expansion of construction for settlement to accommodate the ever growing population, utilization of fuel wood and charcoal as bio fuel have been contributing to green spaces depletion in Addis. Green spaces participatory management has been a problem. This requires studies to find solution for the Green space management problem. This research’s aim is to determine the green spaces status and green spaces participatory management that entails stakeholder organizations and the community in the ten sub-cities of Addis Ababa. The main research methods are Land cover change detection using remotely sensed satellite multi-temporal raster data image analysis, qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The unit of analysis of this case study is organization. The main technical approach applied was qualitative data analysis acquired through purposive (judgmental) sampled data later analyzed using Atlas ti. To supplement the study, a quantitative sampled single point in time (2014) cross-sectional surveyed data of 100 respondents from the ten sub-cities of Addis was analyzed using SPSS.

BACKGROUND AND PROJECT CONTEXT Addis Ababa has been characterized by high population growth with over 5 million residents mainly due to rural-urban migration as youths and women migrate to the city to search for better livelihood opportunities. This high population growth is one of the causes for economic, social and environmental problems in the city. Economic related problems include high urban unemployment mainly among youths and women, increasing costs of living as demand for goods and services exceeds supply; fiscal problems (where Addis Ababa like other cities in developing countries lack enough funds/budget to pay for basic services such as housing, transport, policing, public education, wastes removal and street maintenance) and shortage of basic food and non-food items. Social related problems include crimes, traffic congestions, living in urban slums with overcrowded and lack pure drinking water, health facilities, toilet services, etc. In order to curb some of the social, economic and environmental problems mainly along river basins in the city where people are living in overcrowded urban slums, the Government of Ethiopia has launched a five- year project (2020 – 2021) – Beautifying Sheger Project (BSP)– to beautify banks of two major rivers with the combined distance of about 56 km running from Mount Entoto down to the bottom of the Akaki areas passing through the heavily populated part of the city.

All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the institute. Dedicated to my late mother Tekea Gebru and my late sister Zufan Sereke Abstract Urban quality of life (QoL) is becoming the subject of urban research mainly in western and Asian countries. Such attention is due to an increasing awareness of the contribution of QoL studies in identifying problem areas and in monitoring urban planning policies. However, most studies are carried out at city or country level that commonly average out details at small scales. The result is that the variability of QoL at small scales is not well known. In addition, the relationship between subjective and objective QoL is not well known.

  • Case of Addis Ababa (Nifas Silk Lafto Sub City)
    ADDIS ABABA UNIVERSITY Institute Of Technology An Integrated Approach to Water Supply Planning: Case of Addis Ababa (Nifas Silk Lafto sub city) A Thesis Submitted to the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science (Water Supply and Environmental Engineering) By: Amsal Eyassu Dalle Advisor: Mebrate T. (Dr) October 2016 An Integrated Approach to Water Supply Planning: Case of Addis Ababa (Nifas Silk Lafto sub city) _____________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT In planning and designing a water supply planning system, the key emphasis for meeting the growing water demand in Addis Ababa and elsewhere in the world is often focused on the endless desire to search for new resources and development of them. Limited effort is devoted to addressing in the issue in an integrated approach which combines the supply and demand side in a sustainable approach. Integrated water supply planning is a significant issue for sustainable development to maximize economy, secure production and minimize environmental impacts. The identification of sustainable water demand management practices is technically challenging because of lack of educated staff and attitude. Over the past few years, however, some efforts were seen in the developed countries to frame the water supply planning issue in an integrated fashion. However, this approach is not being practiced in developing countries, like Ethiopia, where the water supply problem is critical and the effort seems to repeat the track developed countries have taken without making the most out of the late comer position they maintain. With limited availability of water as a resource, the population pressure, the limited financial resource and other socio economic factors the traditional approach of endless investment is limited in its make to be a sustainable solution to water supply problems.
