| dc.description.abstract | Today, many developing countries urban centers are facing different problems. Housing shortage and poor housing condition are the most critical challenge. Ethiopian urban areas in general and Addis Ababa in particular are also the part of this problem. The Addis Ababa city government has been trying to mitigate this housing problem through Integrated Housing Development Program by upgrading and redeveloping the city's slum area since 2006. To implement such a huge type of program is challengeable with low capital, inadequate labor and lack of comprehensive housing policy. In this study, the researcher investigates the performance and challenges of this Integrated Housing Developments Program in Addis Ababa by taking Kirkos sub city as a case study. To obtain primary data, purposive and random stratified sampling methods were used while conducting a questionnaire survey. The sample units consist of the households that are living in condominium houses. First, the housing project sites were selected purposefully, and then the selected sites are stratified into four strata based on the housing typology. In ;;um, by using lottery method 135 households, forming 15% of the sample frame were selected from all housing typology. As per the main finding of the study the IHDP has failed to achieve its major objective in the planned time scheduled. The housing project was started with the objective of solving the housing problem of the low income and middle-income group. However, the vast majority of the beneficiaries were higher income households, and significant number of the houses were rented by being transferred the units to a third party. In providing basic utility and infrastructure, the project has positive image, but the quality of the provided utility and infrastructures were not satisfactory. According to the program, the Project office should have constructed 200,000 housing units from 2006-2010, but only 39% of the planed is achieved. The program deemed more successful only in terms of generating job opportunities and improving the livelihood of the operators. So in or..d er. to make the program sustainable in every aspect, evaluating the program and then revising the strategy and objective of the program with the reality on the ground should be important. Government should also formulate appropriate and comprehensive housing policy that addresses the housing problem of the urban poor. | en_US |
