Ethiopia’s adoption of a PPP policy marks a strategic shift towards private sector involvement in major infrastructure projects, including energy, transport, and housing. DABLO Law Firm plays a leading role in this evolving space, particularly in public housing initiatives spearheaded by the Addis Ababa city government.
We advised private developers participating in landmark PPP housing projects, where the city allocated land, utilities, and import facilitation, while private partners financed and built the developments. Our team conducted detailed reviews of complex PPP agreements, identified critical legal gaps, and negotiated favourable revisions with the city’s legal and PPP office representatives.
Our involvement helped shape more balanced contracts and set new precedents for future PPP engagements. With in-depth understanding of Ethiopia’s PPP framework and practical experience navigating public-private dynamics, DABLO is well-positioned to advise clients pursuing collaborative infrastructure ventures with public authorities.
