The Ethiopian government has adopted an approach to respond to water and drought problems affecting the lives of millions of people. One of the actions is a water-centered development strategy to reduce water and water related food problems to speed up the overall socio-economic development of the country. It gives special attention to water resources studies and actions to increase access to water and the provision of safe drinking water. The Ethiopian government creates an enabling environment for public and private partners to respond to the increasing demands of water and sanitation. This led to the engagement of the Tulip Addis Water filter company (Tulip Addis) to introduce water treatment technology that fits in the strategy designed by the government.
