(Apr 28, (The New Times))--Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn and First Lady Roman Tesfaye arrived in Kigali, yesterday, for a three-day state visit. During his first day, premier Desalegn visited Ntebe Integrated Model Village in Rwamagana District in Eastern Province where he commended the use of this model to settle poor families in rural settings across the country.
Development of the Ntebe IDP model village began in 2008 with the first residents of the village settling in 2009. Currently it hosts 772 beneficiaries in 204 households.
The model villages, which were initially set up to host the most economically vulnerable members of the society are aimed at providing dignified housing, access to social amenities and government services, all the while ensuring that they can engage in economic activities.
While explaining the concept to the visiting Prime Minister, Judith Kazayire, the governor of Eastern Province, said that communities are the solution towards viable planned rural settlements.
She noted that the model brings together communities into one village, where they can work together in sectors such as agriculture and share yields and profits.
Under the model villages, they have access to social and education amenities such as schools, health centres, infrastructure (such as electricity), water and sanitation, among others. Read the complete story at »
