Out of the total proposed ETB561.67 billion annual budget (2021/2022), Ethiopia allocated ETB183.5 billion, 33%, for capital expenditure alone which is largely dispersed through projects. Given the huge and ongoing infrastructure development, it would be fair enough to claim that project management is and will continue to be the key component of the economy for years to come in the country.

Of course, project management is the most viable and effective means to manage risks, issues, change, quality, cost and add value to the project economy across the globe and it is here to stay for long.
