ADDIS ABABA – Various activities have been carried out to modernize the transport and logistics sector, the Ministry of Transport and Logistics said.
Presenting the sector’s nine months performance report to the House of Peoples’ Representatives yesterday, Transport and Logistics Minister Dagmawit Moges stated that a number of works have been done to support the sector with technology and let it play a significant role in national economic growth. The transport and logistics sector has plunged into a variety of problems due to the absence of a modern and coordinated data management system.
The sector is also facing obstacles to record growth equivalent to the country’s economic development, as it has not been supported with information communication technology. Taking this problem into account, an organized data center has been set up to help the ministry provide efficient services for the public, according to her.
The new moderation system and internet based service delivery said to cut wastage of time and money.
Meanwhile, Dagmawit revealed that the Ministry is preparing a 30-year transportation master plan to enhance accessibility of the transportation and logistics infrastructure to every part of the society and to ensure that they take into account the economic activities and settlement pattern of the society.
