Developed under the Medemer Government, Friendship Park is a vibrant hub where families, creators, and visitors converge. It has generated nearly 1 Billion Birr in just 4 years. Beyond the numbers, it’s a sanctuary for health, recreation, and community.
It is the ultimate blueprint for Addis Ababa’s future: spaces that create opportunity, generate value, and, above all, belong to everyone.

Dear Ethiopian Youth,
This summer presents an opportunity that should not be allowed to pass idly. The 5 Million Coders courses are available free, and the certification is internationally recognised.
5 million Ethiopians have already made their decision. Now, it is your turn!

“Where there is cleanliness, there is health; where there is food, there is health; where there is proper order, there is peace. These issues deserve the highest priority. They can transform the lives of our citizens, improve our way of life, and have the power to take Ethiopia to the level of progress and development we aspire to achieve.”
''ንጽህና ካለ ጤና አለ፤ ምግብ ካለ ጤና አለ፤ የተስተካከለ ኦርደር ካለ ሰላም አለ። እነዚህ ጉዳዮች ከፍተኛ ግምት ሊሰጣቸው ይገባል። የዜጎቻችንን ሕይወት ይቀይራሉ፤ የአኗኗር ዘዬአችንን ያሻሽላሉ፤ ኢትዮጵያን ወደ ምናስበው ከፍታ ወደ ምናስበው መሻሻል የመውሰድ አቅም አላቸው''።
Addis Ababa’s Riverside Development is far more than a riverbank beautification project. From the Entoto to Peacock corridor to the Entoto–Kebena stretch, this is a large-scale urban transformation that extends up to 50 meters beyond the rivers, creating green corridors, public gathering spaces, walkable areas, recreation zones, and commercial spaces that are reshaping the city itself.
What makes the project especially significant is its broader economic and social impact. Beyond improving the appearance and function of the riversides, it has created jobs for many people across construction, engineering, landscaping, logistics, and related sectors, while also generating opportunities for local contractors, suppliers, and businesses. The fact that so much of the work is being designed and delivered locally highlights the growing capacity of Ethiopian expertise in urban development and infrastructure.
The sustainability aspect is equally important. Once dumping grounds for toxic waste and flood hazards affecting communities along the riverbanks, these areas are now being transformed into greener, healthier, and more liveable urban spaces. At the same time, the integration of commercial and public spaces demonstrates how environmental restoration and economic growth can work together rather than compete with one another.
This is a long-term investment in the future of Addis Ababa as a greener, more connected, economically vibrant, and people-centered city.
Art is an expression of life—an articulation of the beauty that surrounds us in all its discernible and indiscernible forms. Bete Giyorgis, perched atop the mountains of Entoto, embodies the richness of Ethiopian artistry.
Today, we inaugurated the Gelan Gura Industrial Park in Addis Ababa, which carries hope for our city's medium and large-scale manufacturers and provides job opportunities for thousands of our youth.
