This technical assistance advances the following Sustainable Development Goals:
Context
Adis Abbaba does not have proper public transport to cope with the existing demand. The associated rise in emissions is already apparent and will become more critical as the number of vehicles using the road network increase. Ethiopia plans to implement Transit Oriented Development (TOD) to facilitate sustainable urban development through low carbon transportation. TOD areas are designated in a pedestrian oriented manner and bring together housing, transportation and jobs. Initial concepts for TOD nodes have been developed. The absence of a suitable financing strategy that enables public and private investment however hampers the further development and implementation.
