Addis Abeba’s Land Development & Management Bureau recently reported that it prepared 1,450 hectares of land in the last fiscal year, significantly exceeding its original plan of 627.08 hectares. The designated plots are intended for projects that are prioritised at the national level, as well as for social services. Notably, 349.4 hectares have been allocated for individuals relocated due to development. The Bureau transferred 749.4 hectares of land, which is above the target of 550 hectares. Officials have stated that the processes of land preparation and allocation are ongoing and dynamic. This has led to reforms directed at improving service delivery and enhancing digital capabilities. As performance reviews continue, the Bureau emphasised the importance of modernising outdated manual processes.
