Interview with Tsedale Mamo
Grand Housing Programme, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
In 2004 the Grand Housing Programme (GHP) was introduced in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to reduce the overwhelming housing backlog, estimated at about 300.000 housing units and to replace 50% of the overall dilapidated public rental houses (locally known as Kebele Houses).
For the upcoming Issue of DASH – Global Housing (autumn 2015), Brook Teklehaimanot, from EiABC (Addis Ababa University), interviewed Mrs. Tsedale Mamo about the GHP. Mrs. Mamo was manager at the Addis Ababa Housing Development Project Office for about 5 years and responsible for implementing the Program.
