Project Background:

Addis Ababa (/ˌædɪs ˈæbəbə/;^[5] Oromo: Finfinnee, lit. 'fountain of hot mineral water', Amharic: አዲስ አበባ, lit. 'new flower' [adˈdis ˈabəba] ^ⓘ) is the capital and largest city of Ethiopia.^[6][7][8] In the 2007 census, the city's population was estimated to be 2,739,551 inhabitants.^[2] Addis Ababa is a highly developed and important cultural, artistic, financial and administrative centre of Ethiopia.^[9]

The founding history of Addis Ababa dates back in late 19th-century by Menelik II, Negus of Shewa, in 1886 after finding Mount Entoto unpleasant two years prior.^[10] At the time, the city was a resort town; its large mineral spring abundance attracted nobilities of the empire and led them to establish permanent settlement. It also attracted many members of the working classes — including artisans and merchants — and foreign visitors. Menelik II then formed his imperial palace in 1887.^[11][12] Addis Ababa became the empire's capital in 1889, and subsequently international embassies were opened.^[13][14] Addis Ababa urban development began at the beginning of the 20th century, and without any preplanning.^[10]

Addis Ababa saw a wide-scale economic boom in 1926 and 1927, and an increase in the number of buildings owned by the middle class, including stone houses filled with imported European furniture. The middle class also imported newly manufactured automobiles and expanded banking institutions.^[13] During the Italian occupation, urbanization and modernization steadily increased through a masterplan; it was hoped Addis Ababa would be a more "colonial" city and continued on after the occupation. Subsequent master plans were designed by French and British consultants from the 1940s onwards, focusing on monuments, civic structures, satellite cities and the inner-city. Similarly, the later Italo-Ethiopian masterplan (also projected in 1986) concerned only urban structure and accommodation services, but was later adapted by the 2003 masterplan.

Addis Ababa is a federally-chartered city in accordance with the Addis Ababa City Government Charter Proclamation No. 87/1997 in the FDRE Constitution.^[15] Called "the political capital of Africa" due to its historical, diplomatic, and political significance for the continent, Addis Ababa serves as the headquarters of major international organizations, such as the African Union and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.^[16]

The city lies a few kilometres west of the East African Rift, which splits Ethiopia into two, between the Nubian Plate and the Somali Plate.^[17] The city is surrounded by the Special Zone of Oromia, and is populated by people from different regions of Ethiopia. It is home to Addis Ababa University. The city has a high human development index, and is known for its vibrant culture, strong fashion scene, high civic and political involvement of younger people, a thriving arts scene, and for being the heart of a country with one of the fastest economic growth rates in the world.^[18]

DONGFENG Compressed garbage trucks and sewage suction trucks are of great significance and value to Ethiopian construction. The following is a detailed summary: 

Improving urban environment: Ethiopian cities face challenges in waste disposal and sewage treatment. Compressed garbage trucks can effectively collect, compress and transport garbage, and quickly clean up urban garbage. Sewage suction trucks can efficiently clean sewage, rainwater and industrial wastewater, maintaining urban sanitation and environment. These vehicles can improve the quality of the urban environment and improve the quality of life of residents.

Improve waste and wastewater treatment efficiency: Traditional waste and wastewater treatment methods are inefficient in many parts of Ethiopia. Compressed garbage trucks can greatly improve garbage disposal efficiency and reduce transportation times and labor costs. Sewage suction trucks can clean sewage quickly and efficiently, reducing the risk of water pollution. These vehicles can speed up waste and sewage disposal, improve sanitation and water conservation.

Promoting sustainable urban development: Compression garbage trucks and sewage suction trucks support sustainable urban development in Ethiopia. Compressed garbage trucks can reduce the space occupied by garbage and improve the utilization rate of garbage resources. Sewage suction trucks can clean and treat sewage, convert it into renewable energy or purify water. These vehicles can promote resource recycling, energy conservation and emission reduction, and promote the sustainable development of cities.

Provide employment opportunities: The use of compressed garbage trucks and sewage suction trucks can create employment opportunities and drive economic development. The garbage and sewage treatment process requires human participation and provides many employment opportunities, especially for the lower-level labor force. This will boost economic growth and reduce poverty and unemployment.

Improve the country's image: The use of compression garbage trucks and sewage suction trucks can improve Ethiopia's image. They reflect the country's emphasis on environmental sanitation and water resources management, and demonstrate the advancement and standardization of national management. By improving the garbage and sewage treatment process, the city's aesthetics and public satisfaction will be enhanced, providing favorable conditions for the country to attract investment and promote tourism development.

In summary, compression garbage trucks and sewage suction trucks are of great significance and value to Ethiopian construction. They can improve the urban environment, increase the efficiency of waste and sewage treatment, promote sustainable urban development, provide employment opportunities and enhance the country's image. These characteristics make it an important tool for Ethiopia to promote clean cities and water management.
