The
National Urban Planning Institute from the outset had the interest
and commitment to contribute to the design and development of a
national urban development policy, and is grateful for the
opportunity given to it by the Ministry of Federal Affairs to play a
key role as the consultant for its drafting. The Institute has to this effect instituted a project office
that will handle the policy design process, the major objectives of
which include, among other things, include the following:
- to
design a comprehensive urban development policy that will guide the
national urban development effort at all levels,
- to
ensure that the policy design process will as much as possible
incorporate views and opinions of a broad spectrum of stakeholders
in the national urban development process concerning
urban development challenges and prospects,
- soliciting
national as well as international policy ideas from similar experiences,
and
- organizing and conducting public forums and consultative
workshops and symposia in a bid to collect and disseminate key
policy issues. (more on objectives)
To realize the above objectives, the
Project Office would like to encourage contributions from academics and researchers,
domestic, international, bilateral, non-governmental and academic
organizations as well as Ethiopians living abroad and any other
interested parties that have interest to actively participate in the Ethiopian urban
development policy design process. Any communication regarding the
policy design process could be
forwarded to Ato Teka Halefom, Head, Policy Design Project Office, NUPI
