Mayor Adanech Abiebie convened her Cabinet to consolidate transformative plans in six key areas that will markedly change Addis Ababa before the end of her term. Over the course of two days, the Mayor and 67 members of her Cabinet aligned on her bold vision, setting clear targets for success.
Mayor Adanech shared, “To build the new face of Addis Ababa…our leadership is commencing the transformative plan preparation for six strategically identified sectors: employment, revenue, housing, mobility, public service delivery, and land development and administration. We believe these will have an overarching effect on all other sectors.”
Mayor Adanech is building on her successful transformation of early childhood development to make Addis Ababa the best African city to raise a child. This includes deploying 5,000 parental coaches, creating 12,000 playgrounds, transforming 1,000 preschools, closing 120 streets for children to safely play on Sundays, and integrating early childhood development touchpoints in all health centers—efforts that are already transforming the lives of children in a holistic manner.
