Addis Ababa, May 1, 2025 (ENA) — The recently unveiled Mesob One-Stop Service Center in Ethiopia stands as a technologically advanced facility, underscoring the nation’s capability to maintain complete control over its data sovereignty. This was highlighted by the Indian Ambassador to Ethiopia during the inauguration ceremony.
The ambassadors from India and Russia have praised the substantial contribution of Mesobo One-Stop Service Center in improving service effectiveness and availability.
Ambassadors of various countries based in Addis Ababa along with President Taye Atske Selassie visited the newly inaugurated One-Stop Service Center on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed inaugurated a central hub that consolidated 12 organizations and more than 40 services into a single location. This initiative allows citizens to obtain crucial governmental assistance swiftly and with greater ease.
When visiting, India’s ambassador to Ethiopia, Anil Kumar Rai, found the center enlightening and commended the Ethiopian government for their strategic planning and research in setting up this technologically advanced facility designed with citizens’ needs at heart.
The Ambassador highlighted the significance of data sovereignty, praising the domestically created technology that keeps all information and data stored within Ethiopia’s own databases, thus ensuring its data sovereignty.
“The most interesting part is that the technology has been locally produced, and you have taken great care in ensuring that the data, which is the new resource for the world, is kept in your own servers, so that you are in a position to have the full sovereignty of your data.”
The services will also be extremely swift, making them not only accessible and quick but also budget-friendly, the ambassador noted. Additionally, he mentioned that if Ethiopians wish to expand these services across other regions leveraging this experience, it would be considerably easier for them to accomplish.
In turn, the Russian Ambassador to Ethiopia, Evgeny Terkin, also voiced his appreciation, highlighting similarities with comparable institutions in his homeland.
This is truly an excellent initiative and a fantastic facility. It enhances the value of the time-saving service in our rapidly moving modern world, he noted.
Time is invaluable,” he stated, pointing out, “Individuals frequently waste numerous hours, sometimes stretching into days, shuttling from one office to another just to manage different chores.” He continued, noting, “With this facility, they can accomplish several functions at a single location, thereby enabling them to utilize their time far more effectively.
The visit underscored the increasing acknowledgment of Ethiopia’s strides toward modernizing public services via innovative approaches and collaborative agency work.
