Ethiopia’s Prosperity Vision Gaining Momentum: A Nation on Track to Become Africa’s Model of Success – Says Minister Enatalem Melese

January 5, 2018 Ethiopia is making significant strides toward transforming its economic and developmental landscape, reaffirming its ambition to serve as Africa’s beacon of prosperity. Minister of Government Communication Services, Mrs. Enatalem Melese, highlighted the nation’s remarkable progress during a recent media briefing, emphasizing Ethiopia’s unwavering commitment and tangible achievements on its path to becoming a continental role model by 2023.

With a focus on sustainable growth and inclusive development, Ethiopia’s ambitious vision is materializing through groundbreaking projects and strategic reforms. The Minister pointed to impressive milestones such as the ongoing BishoftuAbusera Airport construction, the successful completion of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, and other transformative initiatives across sectors all indicative of Ethiopia’s resilient revival.

Ethiopia’s economy is now among the fastest-growing in Africa, driven by deliberate efforts to diversify and modernize. Since implementing comprehensive economic reforms, the country has seen notable progress in stabilizing inflation, boosting exports, increasing government revenue, and strengthening foreign exchange reserves. Key sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and tourism are experiencing renewed vigor, contributing to Ethiopia’s broader development goals.

Highlighting advances in the digital economy and urban infrastructure, the Minister underscored Ethiopia’s increasing potential to lead regional innovation and growth. She also emphasized critical national processes underway, including a nationwide dialogue aimed at fostering consensus and preparations for the upcoming 7th national elections both set to be inclusive, peaceful, and credible.

Mrs. Enatalem Melese concluded by attributing these successes to the Medemer government’s core principles of inclusive participation, visionary leadership, and a commitment to shared prosperity. These efforts are elevating Ethiopia’s profile on both regional and global stages, paving the way for a prosperous future rooted in unity and sustainable development.
