Achievements:

Since its establishment, the EEA has been strongly committed to strengthen its services to Ethiopian expatriates and improving the legal status of foreign nationals of Ethiopian origin back home.

In this regard, the tax and customs free rights given for returnees, the issuance of urban land for the construction of residential buildings for those organized in housing cooperatives free of charge and with lease payments, and the Proclamation No. 270/2002, which allows Foreign Nationals of Ethiopian origin a wide range of rights and benefits are important steps towards creating a favorable condition for mutually beneficial relationships.

For the smooth running of its activities, the EEA has established links with Federal Ministries and Regional Governments through out the country.

In order to further facilitate the contact between the Diaspora and their country, each Ethiopian Embassy has assigned a diplomat who is solely responsible for handling community issues.
