Managing Water for African Cities Addis Ababa City Implementation Plan Environmental Component Appraisal Report

Abstract

This is an appraisal of the environmental component of the Addis Ababa City Implementation Plan under the Habitat guided programme "Managing Water for African Cities". The objective of this appraisal was to ensure the conformity of the plan with the objectives of the Regional Project and Ethiopia's needs and to explore the availability of domestic resources (human, institutional, and financial) required for efficient project implementation. The appraisal provides findings and recommendations regarding the implementation of the City Plan. One key intervention is a community-based sanitation and wastewater management project to demonstrate results on the ground in urban communities. Moreover, the Addis Ababa City Plan comprises the monitoring and management of essential groundwater resources and strengthening of the water resources information systems.
