Ethiopia Advances in Irrigation Infrastructure with 28 New Dams
Addis Ababa: Ethiopia is making significant strides in enhancing its irrigation capabilities, with the construction of 28 new irrigation dams across the nation. The Ministry of Irrigation and Lowland Environment has dedicated over 8 billion birr to these projects, with an ambitious goal to partially complete 13 dams by the end of this fiscal year. These new dams are set to develop approximately 2,450 hectares of land for irrigation purposes, marking a substantial increase in the country's agricultural productivity.
In addition to these ongoing constructions, Ethiopia is also exploring the potential for further expansion. A feasibility study is underway for 27 additional irrigation dams, which, if realized, could develop a remarkable 103 thousand hectares of land. The study for seven of these proposed dams is expected to conclude within the current year, and these projects will be spread across seven regions of Ethiopia, signifying a nationwide commitment to agricultural development.
Furthermore, the country is investing in the maintenance and repair of its existing irrigation infrastructure. Key projects include the Kobo Girana Groundwater Irrigation Development Project, the Alwero irrigation system, and various other small to medium-sized dams. To aid farmers, the ministry has distributed solar-powered irrigation water pumping motors, enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural practices.

Infrastructure used to bridge rather than divide offers value and builds trust. In a world full of barriers, I call upon all of us to build bridges to connect – metaphorically as well as literally.
Ethiopia has a rich history and a strategic geographical location that has long positioned it as a gateway between Africa, Asia, and Europe. The Belt and Road Initiative provides us with a unique opportunity to leverage this advantage and further strengthen our role as a regional hub for trade, investment, and connectivity.
