The economic activities in Addis Ababa are diverse.

The city has recently been in a construction boom
with tall buildings rising in many places.

The city hosts the We Are the Future centre,
a child care centre that provides children
with a higher standard of living.
The centre is managed under the direction of the mayor's office,
and the international NGO Glocal Forum
serves as the fundraiser and programme planner
and coordinator for the WAF child centre in each city.
