Ethiopia advances rural corridor development to boost sustainability, eco-tourism
Ethiopia has launched a comprehensive rural corridor development programme to transform local communities, promote sustainable agriculture, and expand eco-tourism infrastructure.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced the initiative, as reported by Fana Media Corporation, a partner of TV BRICS.
The rural corridor development project forms part of a broader national strategy to modernise rural areas, improve livelihoods and enhance environmental stewardship, the source said.
During the launch of the initiative, Mr Abiy highlighted the importance of community participation and model practices that contribute to the long-term vision of national transformation.
The initiative also includes a significant eco-tourism component.
Under the leadership of local communities, the transformation of Mount Hambaricho, Ethiopia’s natural and cultural landmark, into an accessible destination for nature tourism has already begun.
A new staircase of 777 steps for climbing was built, making the mountain more accessible to visitors interested in hiking, panoramic views, and bird watching.
According to experts, the rural corridor development project underscores the Ethiopian government’s commitment to integrated rural development, climate resilience, and the promotion of local tourism as a sustainable economic driver.
