Ethiopia is implementing a national ID system to modernise governance and empower citizens. This transformative initiative provides unique identification numbers, streamlines access to government services, and promotes inclusivity. The system utilises advanced technologies like biometrics and secure databases to ensure accurate verification and protect privacy.

The national ID system fosters economic growth, attracts investment, and empowers marginalised communities by enhancing service delivery efficiency and promoting equal access for all citizens. It also improves security by reducing identity theft and fraudulent activities. However, challenges such as the lack of financial resources and ensuring accessibility in remote areas need interventions to see the project achieve its goals to the fullest. Overall, Ethiopia’s national ID system is a cornerstone of digital governance, driving progress and prosperity for the nation. EBR’s Nejat Ahmed explores.

Unravelling the Potential of Supply Chain Finance in Ethiopia

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant challenges for the Ethiopian economy, affecting small and medium Enterprises (SMEs) more, while remittances declined and poverty levels worsened. While the Ethiopian government’s initiative to address these issues deserves credit, the potential of supply chain finance, a set of technology-based solutions that aim to lower financing costs and improve business efficiency for buyers and sellers, still needs to be explored. While the merits of embracing digital transformation, sustainability practices, and regional integration remain valid, Ethiopia can further employ the transformative power of supply chain finance to assist the private sector. EBR’s Nejat Ahmed explores.
