Experiences of urban relocation and life in condominiums in Addis Ababa
This brief assesses the research findings from a study of the experiences of urban relocation in 3 communities Addis Ababa
Abstract
This brief assesses the research findings from a mixed methods study of the experiences of urban relocation in 3 communities Addis Ababa and suggests a set of recommendations.
In Ethiopia the state-led Integrated Housing Development Programme involved the construction of large condominium complexes mainly on the city outskirts. This enabled poor and middle-income households to become homeowners for the first time, something they had previously thought of as unimaginable and referred to as ‘a dream come true’. This study interviewed young people 8 years apart, during which time some had been relocated to new condominiums and some had remained in old neighbourhoods.
This policy brief is based on a Young Lives working paper published jointly with the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence programme
