The transformation of Addis Ababa through strategic infrastructure development has captured the attention of leaders across Africa, including South Sudan's Minister of Land, Housing, and Urban Development, Michael Chanjiek. Speaking during the inaugural Africa Urban Forum held in Addis Ababa from September 4-6, 2024, Minister Chanjiek emphasized the importance of learning from Ethiopia's capital to inform South Sudan's own urban development strategies.

Key takeaways include the importance of integrated transport systems, green building practices, and public-private partnerships in driving urban development that benefits all citizens.

The recent agreement between South Sudan and Ethiopia to collaborate on a $778 million road project marks a monumental step toward transforming the infrastructure and economic landscape of the region. This initiative, which links the Upper Nile State in South Sudan to Ethiopia via Gambella-Pagak, Maiwut, Malakal-Maluth, is expected to enhance trade, improve connectivity, and foster regional integration.

The project is part of a broader trend of regional cooperation in infrastructure development that is reshaping East Africa's economic geography and creating new opportunities for growth and development.
