The pride of Ethiopia - What it took to build Africa's largest hydro-electric dam

Africa's largest hydro-electric dam, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (Gerd), is a source of national pride and energy for Ethiopia. The dam, which took 14 years to build, will generate 5,100MW of power, aiming to provide electricity to millions of Ethiopians lacking access. Despite challenges and controversy surrounding the dam's construction on the Nile, including diplomatic tensions with downstream countries, it symbolizes unity and progress for Ethiopia. The completion of the dam marks a significant step towards electrifying the nation and improving the lives of its citizens.
