Digital Ethiopia 2025 <\/span><\/p>\n

Bahir Dar, March 27- (AMECO) – Ethiopia is on a good track to realize Digital Ethiopia 2025 Strategy, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said. <\/span><\/p>\n

At a panel discussion, which reviewed the mid-term performance of Digital Ethiopia 2025 Strategy at Adwa Victory Memorial Museum today, the premier stated that the main enablers to achieve Digital Ethiopia 2025 Strategy are on a good track.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to him, the country had been facing many challenges financially when the Digital Ethiopia 2025 Strategy was launched.<\/span><\/p>\n

The debt to GDP ratio was about 60 <\/span>percent, there was no enough money to pay salary and carryout the construction of big projects like the GERD which requires 1 billion USD, he elaborated.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bottlenecks at the time called for a different idea and approach because the problems were unique and required homegrown solutions with some general experiences bench-marked, Abiy noted.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, the Homegrown Economic Reform and the Digital Ethiopia 2025 Strategy, among others, were formulated. <\/span><\/p>\n

The prime minister pointed out that the enablers for the strategy included reliable energy supply and robust data i<\/span>nfrastructure as well as strong cyber-security, which is a backbone of digitization critical to the success of Digital Ethiopia 2025 Strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

He further revealed that Ethiopia has laid a strong foundation for technological advancement by prioritizing legal frameworks, strategic planning, institutional development, telecom infrastructure expansion, the establishment of AI institutions, and efforts to address energy challenges. <\/span><\/p>\n

By strengthening the foundations and the enablers that are on good track, Ethiopia’s digitization will deliver maximum benefit to its citizens, the PM noted. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Abiy announced on the occasion that a national council that oversees the implementation and performance of the Digital Ethiopia 2025 Strategy will be established within the coming weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The national council will be led by Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh that consists of \u00a0\u00a0representatives from the pertinent institutions and the private sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

Innovation and Technology Minister Belete Molla emphasized on his part the strategy’s alignment with Ethiopia’s national goals, including the Homegrown Economic Reform Agenda, the Ten-Year National Development Plan, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and the African Union Continental Digital Transformation Strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cVarious works have been done in developing these infrastructures in the past three years,\u201d he pointed out. <\/span><\/p>\n
