A Model for African<\/span><\/p>\n

Bahir Dar, April 03 – (AMECO)- The approach used to build the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is a big lesson that serves as a model for African nations grappling with poverty, Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh said. <\/span><\/p>\n

The deputy premier made the above remark at the commemoration of the 13th Anniversary of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam held in Addis Ababa today.<\/span><\/p>\n

He pointed out that despite the enormous challenges Ethiopia faced, it was able to safeguard its rights to conceive, design, finance, and construct <\/span>the dam.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This approach serves as a pioneering and exemplary model for nations across our continent grappling with poverty,” Temesgen stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The anniversary celebrated under the theme: \u201cTogether We Can\u201d \u00a0featured a series of events, including panel discussions and a photo exhibition. <\/span><\/p>\n

Deputy PM Temesgen Tiruneh on the occasion lauded the unified efforts of the government and the public in overcoming significant challenges over the past thirteen years. <\/span><\/p>\n

The construction of \u00a0GERD has now reached an impressive 95.8 percent <\/span>milestone, and Ethiopia resolutely upheld the principle of African Solutions to African Problems on the global stage, he recalled.<\/span><\/p>\n

And “in doing so, we safeguarded our right to conceive, design, finance, and construct for Ethiopia’s prosperity. This approach serves as a pioneering and exemplary model for nations across our continent grappling with poverty,” Temesgen underlined. <\/span><\/p>\n

Water and Energy Minister Habtamu Itefa on his part highlighted Ethiopia’s longstanding experience in dam construction for electricity generation and irrigation purposes. <\/span><\/p>\n

He cited projects like Melkawakena, <\/span>Koqa, Fincha, Gibe I-III, Tekeze, and Tis Abay, among others. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, the minister revealed that \u201cthe combined output of these dams falls short of 4,000 megawatts, representing less than 8 percent of Ethiopia’s hydroelectric potential.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to him, the success of GERD serves as a powerful testament to the Ethiopian spirit of “it is possible.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Habtamu noted that this spirit, including the project execution experience, knowledge and technology transfer are imperative for developing other projects in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n
