Ethiopia is a rapidly growing economy with an annual economic growth rate of around 10%. With almost 100 million inhabitants it is the second most populated country in Africa and the 13th most populous country in the world. The Ethiopian Higher Education sector has grown from 6 public universities in 2003 to 32 public universities in 2014.
The number of academic staff grew by almost 55% within 5 years. The shortage of qualified lecturers is the gap that urgently needs to be bridged. The Ethiopian Government sees the development of the nation primarily through education and aligns the economic development with the development of the higher education sector and vice versa.
The main aim of the ETHINNO project, which has been submitted under ERASMUS+ for funding from the European Union and of which EiABC is one of the partners, is to raise the pedagogical capacity of Ethiopian universities. It shall be achieved by adapting selected European active learning practices – following main principles of the Innovation Pedagogy learning approach - in all levels of education: strategy, planning, implementation and assessment of education. Active university-enterprise cooperation is a key for more efficient as well as cost-effective higher education. In 21st century higher education the teachers’ role should be more like a mentor and facilitator of learning rather than a teacher in the traditional way.
If approved then under the ETHINNO project six Ethiopian universities have a chance to test selected European pedagogical practices and methods and embed the best ones into their structures.

The campaign at EiABC kicks off with the theme “Reuse and Recycle”. This year’s theme generated from the simple idea of enhancing ones own surrounding using resources available within reach. For this purpose three high traffic public areas within the EiABC campus were selected for intervention and different student groups developed plans to rehabilitate these open spaces.
The work includes both the recycling of already existing structures within the campus and reusing them onto new sites; as well as building new landscape elements and fixtures from scratch. The Environment Week Campaign is undertaken annually to create a platform for students to volunteer and participate in an initiative that instills the positive mindset of community service.
In the future, the EiABC Environment Week Initiative plans to undertake these interventions outside the campus grounds in collaboration with the Lideta Subcity Administration and the Community.
On March 11th, 2017, EiABC once again graduated its students. This time the total number came up to 202 students of which there were 132 from the Architecture Program, 59 from COTM (Extension), 10 from COTM (Regular) and 1 from Urban and Regional Planning. EiABC congratulates all the successful graduates!
Tesfamariam Mulatu, EiABC class of '14 alumnus, and currently a first year graduate student at Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), received two awards at the Gala Night 2017 for this year's student design competition organized by the school's architecture program. Top winners are selected and awarded a scholarship prize. "I was honored to be among the winners of both competitions", Tesfamariam said. "These scholarships help motivate students to strive more."
