Project Evaluation & Management of Technical Cooperation Project (2011, 2014, 2016, 2020 ):
People suffering from poor access to safe water account for 2.9 billion (2019 JMP), and OECD estimates approximately 40% of world population would face water depletion in 2050 due to climate change (2012 OECD). Besi. des, in urban large cities in developping countries are facing an unbalanced water demand and supply issue. We have participated with surveys of water resource management in Latin America, Southern Africa and Middle East, and palyed a role for supporting prepartatory survey and project evaluation in Ethiopia.
世界中で安全な水を得られない人は 29億人に上り(2019 JMP), 気候変動影響で 2050年には世界人口の4割が水不足に直面すると推計されています(2012 OECD)。また発展途上国の大都市では, 人口と産業の急拡大に伴う水需給のアンバランスの問題に直面しています。レデスはこれまで南米・アフリカ・中東で水資源分野の調査に参加し,うちエチオピアではアディスアベバ上下水道公社の技術協力「AAWSA無収水削減管理能力強化プロジェクト」の事前調査の支援と事業評価を担当しました。

What sort of country is Ethiopia? World's oldest indipendent country wrapped in mystery.
Since the dawn of history, Ethiopia has been a country with varied ethinicities in confusion of different cultures and languages due to its geopolitical characteristic. Antique people use to call Ethiopia 'Aithiops' (Αἰθίοψ), while Europeans called them Abyssinian. Amhara, enigmatic 33 hyeroglyphs to the eyes of foreigners, is a heritage from Ethiopian Empire, "Abyssinia".

The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia was established under the New Constitution in 1995.
古えからエチオピアは地政治的な特質により多文化・多言語のるつぼとなる国でした。古代ギリシャの人々はエチオピアの国をアイティオプス(Αἰθίοψ)と呼び, ヨーロッパの人々はアビシニア国と呼びました。外国人の目に不思議な33の象形文字はこのアビシニア国からの遺産です。時を経て1270年にエチオピア帝国が誕生し, 1974年までの長きに亘り7つの王朝を継承しながら帝国を保ちました。その後 1995年の憲法改正を経て今日のエチオピア連邦共和国 (የኢትዮጵያ ፈደራላዊ ዲሞክራሲያዊ ሪፐብሊክ )となりました。
Territory of Ethiopia is 2.8 times of Japan's territory, accounted for approximately 1.06 million ㎢ . While this inland country does not have coastlines, the country enjoys an abundant of natural resources such as rich green belts and forest, rock and craggy mountains, vast deser, salt marsh and wild animals even.
エチオピアの領土面積は約106万3562 ㎢あり日本の約2.8倍ほどになります。周囲は隣国に囲まれ海岸をもちませんが, 緑地帯、森林、岩山、砂漠、塩沼湿地域と野生動物などなど, 広大な領土に多彩で豊かな自然に溢れています。
