A new cleaning initiative was launched in Addis Ababa on Saturday December 9, which is one of the most daunting challenges urban centers in developing countries like Addis Ababa face.
Addis Ababa aspires to be a clean model city for cities of the continent by 2020, claims the City Government of Addis Ababa Cleansing management Agency’s vision. But considering the few years left to hit that deadline, imagining a clean Addis Ababa seems out of horizon.
During the initiative over 70,000 residents of the city participated including Prime Minister Hailemariam Dessalegn (pictured above).
