Addis ababa: Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has launched the Digital 2030 Strategy, a bold next step after the success of Digital 2025, to drive smarter, automated, and more efficient public service delivery.

According to Ethiopian News Agency, in a social media post, PM Abiy noted that: ‘Following the successful completion of the Digital 2025 Strategy, which focused on technology-driven modernization, we have now launched the Digital 2030 Strategy to further enhance service delivery through greater automation.’

The Federal Supreme Court remains committed to building a judicial system that is fast, transparent, and efficient, recognizing that access to justice is one of the most important needs of citizens.

PM Abiy stated, ‘I am pleased to note today that the Federal Supreme Court has developed a Smart Court System, which includes an automated voice-to-text transcription feature to ensure that all case proceedings are recorded accurately and remain tamper-proof.’

He further mentioned that the system supports virtual hearings, enabling justice seekers to participate in their cases remotely, without the need to travel to Addis Ababa.

Additionally, a Network Operations Center and an Integrated Case Management System have been established, allowing litigants to track their cases digitally, according to PM Abiy.

At present, 24 federal branches are covered under this strategy. The Prime Minister pointed out that this is an encouraging start and expressed hope that it would soon be expanded to regional courts as well.
