Public Affairs Office (PAS)

At PAS Addis Ababa we provide information about the activities of the U.S. Mission on a regular basis through our news releases. News from around the world can be found through America.gov. Those interested in a news summary for the week can do so through our Weekly Special Report link.

The Information Resource Center in the Public Affairs Section also provides accurate and up to-date information about the United States.  American Corners (ACs) in Ethiopia are managed by the Public Affairs Section, and currently, there are 4 American Corner Libraries that are operational in Ethiopia.  These American Corners are located in Harar, Bahir Dar, Dire Dawa and Jimma.

Many people contact PAS because they are interested in studying in the United States. You can find information on study at the undergraduate and graduate level through the Educational Advising link. Those interested in the Fulbright or Humphrey programs may look under the Cultural & Educational Programs.

Please contact us at pasaddis@state.gov with your comment, questions and suggestion. If you have questions or concerns about security, you will find some information in the Consular page, and at a link which will be on service soon to allow you to ask questions.
