| Summary: | The report includes the analysis of
global Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and
electronics value chains, an assessment of Ethiopia’s
current and potential participation in these regional and
global networks, and an analysis of the country’s
competitive positions in specific segments of the sector.
The findings of these efforts have been used to provide
strategic direction for the development of the sector and to
draft an action plan and road map to implement the sectoral
strategy in the short, medium, and long term. The analysis
shows that the overall electronics and ICT industry is
currently playing only a modest role in the Ethiopian
economy, with a relatively limited presence of companies and
commercial activity. The analysis also illustrates important
differences in the competitive position across the various
segments analyzed. In conclusion, the analysis has shown
that the ICT and electronics industry has potential in
Ethiopia, with a presence already emerging in selected segments. |
