                      STRATEGIC INVESTMENT AREAS
          A coordinated approach to provide fertile sites for
                                  investment



There is unbalanced, uncoordinated and scattered development in Addis Ababa. This resulted in under-utilization of potential development sites, including the main city center. The lack of efficient system for re/developing these underutilized areas, long bureaucratic procedures and resource limitation have created unfavorable investment environment and difficulties for private developers and the public at large. The result was the misuse of potential resources, further deterioration of different areas in the
city especially the city center
