Abstract
Ethiopia is a country of many
nations, nationalities, and peoples, with a total population
of 91.7 million. Ethiopia has experienced strong economic
growth over the past decade. Urbanization offers new
opportunities in Ethiopia to improve education, health, and
other public services, as more concentrated populations are
easier to reach. In this context, the Government of Ethiopia
(GoE) acknowledges the important role of the urban sector in
overall economic growth and to invest in it. In this
context, the government introduced the urban local
government development program (ULGDP) in 2008 as a
performance grant to ULGs. This second ULGDP is a follow-up
to the successful first phase. The current ULGDP is jointly
funded by the government and the World Bank. The program,
which will scale up the support to cover 44 cities, will
provide the highly needed investment funds to promote the
cities as growth engines in the GoE's urban development
strategy, support the institutional capacity of all tiers of
governance (federal, regional and local) in urban
development, and enhance the incentives of everyone involved.
