The EthiopianHousing Sector1.1 Introduction to EthiopiaThe Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia is acountry of contrasts. Ancient rock-hewn churches sitalongside modern bustling cities. Cold mountainousregions counterpoint low-lying tropical monsoonclimates. Eighty distinct ethnic groups and indigenouslanguages differentiate the ethnically diverse population.Small stable villages that are home to the majority ofthe population are distinct to the enormous and rapidlyexpanding urban areas. The country boasts vast areas ofcultivable land yet regular food shortages and famine arecommon, and while there are a select few Ethiopianswith considerable wealth a substantial proportion ofEthiopians live in extreme poverty.Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world. It isranked 169 th out of 175 countries in the United NationsDevelopment Programme Human Development Index.Among other indicators demonstrating the massivedevelopmental challenges facing Ethiopia, primaryschool enrolment is remarkably low at only 46 per cent,infant mortality is high at nearly ten per cent (98 childdeaths per thousand), 53 per cent of the population isilliterate, and 40 per cent of the population lives belowthe poverty line 1, 2 . National unemployment is high at16.7 per cent 3 , although in the capital city of AddisAbaba it is even higher at 32 per cent 4 .With a population of 79 million, Ethiopia is the secondmost populous country in Africa. It is growing rapidly;the annual growth rate is 2.6 per cent, equating to twomillionbirths per year 5 .Despite having one of the lowest proportions of urbanpopulation in the world at only 16.7 per cent 6 , Ethiopiais rapidly urbanising at a high annual growth rate of3.49 per cent 7 . In the space of seventeen years the urbanpopulation more than doubled from 6.4 in 1990 to 13.8million in 2007 8 . The population is very young with 45per cent under 15 years of age 9 .The combination of high population and urban growthrates coupled with a high prevalence of urban povertyhave placed enormous strain on Ethiopian cites. 80per cent of the population lives in sub-standard slumhousing that needs either complete replacement orsignificant upgrading 12, 13, 14 . Ethiopian cities sufferfrom a high degree of homelessness, environmentaldegradation, urban decay, a shortage of infrastructureand basic services, and high unemployment. These factorscombine to produce the critical urban issue addressed inContents1chapter oneintroductionTO ETHIOPIA1.1 Introduction to Ethiopia1.2 Brief history of land andhousing in Ethiopia1.3 Current state of the housingsector1.4 The vision of the IntegratedHousing DevelopmentProgrammeDESPITE HAVING ONE OF THELOWEST PROPORTIONS OF URBANPOPULATION IN THE WORLD ATONLY 16.7 PER CENT 10 , ETHIOPIAIS RAPIDLY URBANISING AT AHIGH ANNUAL GROWTH RATE OF3.49 PER CENT 11 .Condominium Housing in ethiopia 1
