The Ethiopian Government prioritizes solving and correcting unnecessary bureaucracies that create burdens for our citizens in service delivery. Continuing our commitment to modernizing services, we inaugurated a new centralized service center, Mesob Centralized Service Center.
Three key features mark the new center. The first is the transformation of an old and deteriorated building into a modern and aesthetically pleasing structure that enhances the working environment.
Second, the deployment of locally developed software aiming at streamlining and coordinating services. The third key feature is the deployment of capable and dignified young professionals who are prepared to provide high-quality services.
Twelve institutions have now begun offering 40 different services under the newly developed system. This enables citizens to save time and access services in a more efficient and effective manner.

Ethiopia established a modern police institution more than a century ago: DPM Temesgen
Ethiopia’s Police Force is a guardian of law and order. Similarly, Ethiopia’s Police institution is the leading and symbol of excellence in Ethiopia’s sport development. Ethiopia is the leading country in establishing one of Africa’s first modern police institutions more than a century ago.
During the past seven reform years, the Ethiopian Federal Police has become more independent, efficient, and stronger thanks to the Security Sector Reform, implemented following the reform to make security institutions strong and independent. Today, Ethiopia’s Federal Police is a proud institution, rooted in history and built for the future.
While we are marking the 116th anniversary of the establishment of the Ethiopian Police institution, Ethiopia proudly hosted the 5th edition of the EAPCCO Games in Addis Ababa.
