Woreda 03 management has been implementing various changes over the years to enable it to provide efficient and quality services to its customers (users) and to better satisfy their needs by reforming the previously backward and chaotic service delivery system. In the same way, it is continuing its efforts to ensure that the services provided are up to standard and based on the customer’s needs by properly addressing the problem of service delivery that is currently being observed in Woreda.

Socio-cultural context
Dire Dawa has a unique architectural style that sets it apart from the rest of Ethiopia, with colonial-era buildings standing out against the traditional circular homes. The city is the second largest in Ethiopia and is located in an arid region, giving it its name, which means empty plain. Dire Dawa is known for its diverse cultural background, attracting migrants for its cosmopolitan image and reputation for integrating people of different religions and ethnicities. The city has a long history of welcoming expatriates, including Italians, French, Indians, Arabs, and Sudanese. Despite rising ethnic and religious tensions in Ethiopia, Dire Dawa’s cosmopolitan legacy remains strong.
The Dire Dawa Administration has a total population of 521,000, with 333,000 living in the city and the rest in rural areas. The city is home to various ethnic groups, including Oromo, Amhara, Somali, Gurage, Tigrayan, Harari, and people from southern Ethiopia. Muslims make up the majority of the population at 70.9%, followed by Orthodox Christians at 25.6%. In urban areas, Muslims make up 57.4% of the population, while Orthodox Christians make up 37.4%.

Dire Dawa has faced various challenges throughout its history, including the Ethiopian revolution, which led to the closure of Greek and Armenian churches and the departure of many Europeans, Yemeni Arabs, and Indians. The city was also affected by the Ethio-Somali War of 1977/78, which saw Somali troops besiege Dire Dawa until they were pushed back by Ethiopian, Cuban, and Russian forces. Natural disasters such as floods and accidents have also caused damage and loss of life in Dire Dawa.
