In addition to a delegation of the WaterFoundation from Germany, numerous Ethiopian representatives from politics, industry and administration were present when the 60-year-old engineer Fekadu Aleka was awarded the Hundertwasser Prize 2020 for his merits at a ceremony in the German embassy.
The International Hundertwasser Prize, which is endowed with 5,000 euros, was awarded for the seventh time. It commemorates Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who as an artist and eco-activist was committed to the preservation of water as a vital resource.
