These taxis are available on major roads in the city and can be used to travel to destinations close to the hotel where one is residing. Taxis can also be hired on an hourly or other basis. Information can be obtained from front-desks in most hotels. With the right information, traveling through the city will not be a major problem to visitors.

Tourist Sites

peror Haile Selassie discussed the idea of African unity and signed the Charter of the Organization of African Unity, is located on ECA grounds, minutes away from the Conference Centre.

About Addis Ababa - A Brief Guide

General

Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, lies in the famous Shoa Plateau, and sits at an altitude of about 2400 meters above sea level. Founded at the begin

ning of the 20th century, Addis Ababa is one of the oldest cities and has one of the richest histories in Africa. Its current population is estimated at around 4 mil

lion people. The city has hosted a number of historic milestones in the annals of Africa, and benefits from having a wide international and cultural diversity.

Addis Ababa is considered a relatively safe city. Visitors should not have to worry much about their safety while traveling within the city during the day. There is fairly tight police security in and around the city, but it is advisable to get up-to- date security information from the hotels.

The Ethiopian clock system is 6 hours behind international standard time. Please ascertain what time system is referred to when making appointments, etc. For example, 7 p.m. standard time is 1 p.m. Ethiopian (Abesha) time, 8 p.m. is 2 p.m., 9 p.m. is 3 p.m., and so on.

Travel to and from the Airport

Bole International Airport is about 5-6 kilometers away from the major hotels in the city. With the exception of a few international hotels, such as the Sheraton- Addis and the Addis Ababa Hilton, hotels do not provide transport from the Airport. There are numerous taxis parked outside the airport that can be hired on a contractual basis. The standard rate of a taxi ride to reach one of the major hotels in Addis Ababa is within the range of Birr 20 (approximately $ US 2) - Birr 30 (app $ US 3.50). Since taxis can be shared, it is reasonably cheaper to travel by taxi in Addis Ababa.

Travel in the City

Addis Ababa has a very reliable public transport system. Taxis are available all the time and in most areas of the city. There are many mini-bus taxis that are fairly inexpensive, at a rate of 1.20 birr to Birr 2.5, for short distance travel. Taxis can also be hired on an hourly or other basis. Information can be obtained from most hotels. It is advisable to agree on a rate before embarking on your journey.

Most taxis will charge about 50 Birr per hour; but they may insist on a minimum number of hours. With the right information, traveling through the city will not be a major problem to visitors.

Tourist Sites

Addis Ababa is home to some of the major tourist attractions in Ethiopia. The National Museum, situated at the center of the city, provides an excellent ac

count of the rich history of the city and its environs. Mount Entoto, about ten kilometers from the city center, provides a full and wonderful view of the whole city and is the site of several monasteries and palaces of King Menelik II, founder of the city. A visit to Entoto will generously reward avid birdwatchers, as it car

ries a variety of endemic birds.

Shopping

The major shopping center in Addis Ababa is an open-air market called Merkato.

All kinds of items can be found here, ranging from food items to clothing, shoes and houseware. Visitors tend to leave with several items of interest at reasonably cheaper prices. But, one often has to haggle and bargain to get cheaper prices.

Other areas of interest include the Dembel City Center, a modern shopping mail, and various souvenir and jewelry shops scattered around the city.

Ethiopian Cuisine

Enjera, the national Ethiopian dish has become a famous cuisine in major cities such as London, Washington and other cities around the world where there are large numbers of Ethiopian immigrants. It takes a while for non-Ethiopians to get used to the sour taste of Enjera, a type of flat, spongy bread usually served with spicy stew called "wot". But, in most cases, its wonderful taste prevails and most people express their appreciation.

EGA Services

Banking

A branch office of the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia can be found on the ECA compound. Their office hours are from 8:30 - 1:00 and 2:00 - 5:00, Monday through Friday.

Dashen Bank, now operates VISA ATM machines in a few locations, including Bole International Airport, Hilton Hotel and the Sheraton Hotel. Some local banks at the Exhibition Concours provide Travellers' Cheques and credit card encashment. But very few businesses accept credit cards in Addis Ababa, so it is advisable to carry cash at all times.

World Food Programme

As the United Nations frontline agency in the fight against hunger, WFP is continually responding to emergencies. We save lives by getting food to the hungry fast. But WFP also works to help prevent hunger in the future. We do this through programmes that use food as a means to build assets, spread knowledge and nurture stronger, more dynamic communities. This helps communities become more food secure. WFP has developed expertise in a range of areas including Food Security Analysis, Nutrition, Food Procurement and Logistics to ensure the best solutions for the world's hungry.

In 2011, WFP aims to bring food assistance to more than 90 mil

lion people in 73 countries.

WFP's strategic plan lays out five objectives and all our work is geared towards achieving them. They are:

- Save lives and protect livelihoods in emergencies - Prepare for emergencies

- Restore and rebuild lives after emergencies

- Reduce chronic hunger and under nutrition everywhere - Strengthen the capacity of countries to reduce hunger Tel: 251 -(0)11-5155151/5514 425
