She explained that the city\u2019s development activities are guided by an integrated, multi-sector strategy designed to ensure sustainable and far-reaching results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The projects span tourism and agriculture, including the development of fruit parks and beekeeping initiatives that strengthen food security while creating new tourist destinations. Beyond enhancing the city\u2019s beauty, these sites are also generating income and creating employment opportunities for local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on sports development, Mayor Adanech noted that a modern, standard stadium is currently under construction at a site known as \u201cZero Zero\u201d beneath Mount Entoto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also emphasized that the projects are being carried out through strong partnerships between the government and the private sector. In this framework, the government provides land, design, and infrastructure, while the private sector contributes financial resources and technical capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She further stressed that dumping waste into rivers is a criminal offense and called on residents to take responsibility for protecting their environment from pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concluding her remarks, Mayor Adanech Abiebie reaffirmed that as Africa\u2019s diplomatic capital, Addis Ababa will continue its transformation to become truly \u201cnew,\u201d in line with its name, through sustained and strengthened development efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
