ADDIS ABABA (EI) — Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Saturday launched an integrated digital public service platform, dubbed Unified MESOB Application.
Abiy described the unified digital platform, which was launched Saturday during the Digital for Excellence Summit held at the Science Museum in Addis Ababa, as “Africa’s first unified digital public service platform.”
The newly launched digital system envisages to improve public service efficiency across multiple government institutions, address corruption-related gaps, and enhance institutional integrity, Abiy said in a statement Saturday.
The unified digital public service platform, dubbed “Unified MESOB Application,” integrates services from various government institutions into a single digital system.
“The Unified MESOB Application, Africa’s first unified digital service application, brings services from across institutions onto a single platform,” Abiy said. “This milestone is a source of immense national pride and a testament to what deliberate, focused investment in technology can deliver.”
Abiy said the launch of the integrated system marked “a major milestone in Ethiopia’s digital transformation journey.”
Describing the unified digital application as “a critical economic infrastructure,” he said platform reflects the country’s dedicated investment in technology and digital innovation.
“The MESOB one-stop service is critical economic infrastructure. It saves citizens’ time, closes corruption gaps, and strengthens institutional integrity on the government side,” he said.
Abiy said the system will enable citizens to access a wide range of government services through a single platform; while also saving time and national resources that would otherwise be spent on obtaining various public services.
