Yeka Project

On 21 May 2022, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed launched a project known as the Yeka Project that aims to clear forest areas and build national palaces, houses, artificial lakes, roads and other infrastructure. Comprising 503 hectares, it is the largest project after the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), costing 49 billion ETB funded by the United Arab Emirates. It is now under construction.[3][4]
