dc.description.abstract Any nation's economic growth and development depend heavily on the development of its infrastructure. However, infrastructure projects may not effectively support development efforts if they are not properly coordinated and carried out. This issue is particularly apparent in Ethiopia, where Addis Ababa's infrastructure development is hampered by a lack of inter sectoral integration. The objective of this research is to assess the economic impact of poor inter sectorial integration in infrastructure development in Addis Ababa, focusing on road, water and sewerage, telecommunication, and electric power supply. Evaluates the current practices in these sectors, identify the challenges of inter-sectorial integration, and determine its economic consequences. The research methodology have employed a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, incorporating on-site research, interviews, discussions with industry experts, and questionnaire surveys. The study area, Addis Ababa, located centrally in Ethiopia, served as the geographical focus. The research findings have revealed various negative practices associated with infrastructure development, including a lack of coordination among sectors, limited resources, political interference, resistance to change, technical expertise gaps, bureaucratic procedures, and institutional fragmentation. Key challenges include lack of coordination, limited resources, political interference, institutional fragmentation, and resistance to change. The study comes to the conclusion that Addis Ababa needs to improve inter-sectoral integration in infrastructure development. A study recommends creating a long-term plan, establishing an inter-agency committee, fostering collaboration, encouraging private sector participation, and implementing technology solutions to improve inter-sectorial integration in infrastructure development in Addis Ababa. Other suggestions include introducing new rules for shared platforms, reforming permit procedures, and utilizing financial resources from partners and international development banks for integrated urban development projects. These measures aim to enhance integration and sustainable growth. en_US
