Background

Amhara Road Works Enterprise (ARWE) is Grade I Construction Company (GC-I) engaged in various road infrastructures works. This Development Enterprise is established as per Regulation No. 71/2010 of the Amhara National Regional State in a bid to undertake Road Infrastructure Works commensurate to the regional and national development realities and ongoing demand of the people.

Managed by and enjoyed professional, human resources and material support of the Amhara National Regional State Roads Authority until 2012, ARWE secured license and autonomy as Grade I Construction Company (GC-I) creating its own organizational structure as of 2012. In its short span of life, the enterprise has improved its organization and performance, developed its infrastructures and accomplished various road works and civil works with excellent quality to satisfaction of its various clients. In this regard, the enterprise succeeded in customer satisfaction and this track record is hoped to continue further in the future as well.

ARWE is organized to regulate the construction market and help the society benefit from roads constructed. In the current reality where road infrastructure is equated to be veins of humans, constructing road infrastructures commensurate to the current economic development trends is vitally important. In this regard, steps are underway to promoting the capacity of local construction companies and helping them further develop as this is believed to be top most priority.

Hence, ARWE is a company which wholeheartedly believes that it has to fill the gap in the construction market characterized by the current lack of resource and capacity of private construction companies which hindered them from engaging on construction of important road networks. As such the enterprise is organized to ensure societal benefits of important road constructions in short period which private construction companies cannot.

ARWE has been serving the society in regardless of the nature of working environment. It has been undertaking infrastructure in rugged, inaccessible and inhospitable areas with a spirit of “Everything is Possible!” and so far various projects have been finalized and handed over to clients. This is an indication as to how public the enterprise is. On the other hand, the enterprise has joined competition in the construction industry at the national level which saw it engaged on Concrete Road Construction Projects in other regions.

Cognizant of the fact that road infrastructure is a vitally determinant factor for other infrastructures, the enterprise has been discharging its duties in line with government positions and public interest. Road infrastructure development cannot be seen detached from other developments as it is impossible to realize any social or economic developments without development of Road Infrastructures.
