THE GRAND ETHIOPIAN RENAISSANCE DAM  

To the realization of bigger and wider national objective

PURCHASE THE BOND AND PUT YOUR FINGER PRINT IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GRAND ETHIOPIAN RENAISSANCE DAM ON THE ABAY RIVER!

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam

The cornerstone for the Renaissance Dam was laid and the country has witnessed an exceptional outpouring of enthusiasm from people of all walks of life.

There have been a considerable number of hydroelectric dams built in the last few years. The Gilgel Gibe series of dams, Tana Beles, the Tekeze are projects that are either completed or under construction. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is now to be built. 

What makes the Renaissance Dam so special is partly its sheer size in terms of power generation and in cost. The estimated cost is more than 80 billion Birr. As impressive and important is the project’s monumental symbolic value for all Ethiopians, representing as it does a major step towards the realization of the dreams of generations of Ethiopians.

Generations of Ethiopians have either sought to assert their right to a share of the Nile waters or tried to carry out some project or another to meet local demands. This project comes at a time when Ethiopia has been making strenuous efforts to caste off its image as a famine-ridden nation. This is a mark of the symbolism that it represents to the people and government of Ethiopia.  For more
