Jigjiga, the city in eastern Ethiopia, is aiming to collect $48 million in taxes during the current year, Dawan Africa reports. The revenue target was reported on Friday, November 6, 2026.
The figure represents the city's stated goal for tax collection over the year, according to the outlet. Dawan Africa did not provide further details in its summary of the reporting, including how the target compares with previous years or which revenue sources are expected to contribute.
Tax collection targets are closely watched in Ethiopian regional administrations because local revenue underpins public services and administrative budgets. The reported goal for Jigjiga reflects the city's planned intake for the year, though the available reporting does not specify the mechanisms planned to reach it or the assumptions behind the figure.
What to watch next: whether Jigjiga meets the $48 million target, and whether further reporting from Dawan Africa details the revenue streams or collection measures behind the goal.
