Message from H.E. Enatalem Melese, Minister of the FDRE Government Communication Service
Ethiopia is currently asserting its journey toward greatness by transforming domestic and international challenges into strategic opportunities. The multi-faceted national reforms implemented by the government are healing historical fractures and opening a new chapter that empowers citizens to look toward the nation’s future with renewed hope and a clear vision for the future. In particular, Ethiopia’s macroeconomic reforms have laid a robust foundation, enabling us to with stand global economic pressures and secure sustainable prosperity. On the diplomatic front, by safeguarding our national interests and promoting mutual benefits through regional integration, we are steadily enhancing Ethiopia’s influence and leadership on the international stage.
The world is currently navigating a rapid evolution in media and communication, driven by digital innovation and Artificial Intelligence (AI). While these technological advancements offer unprecedented opportunities for the real-time dissemination of information, the proliferation of disinformation has emerged as a significant threat to national security. Accordingly, the Government Communication Service is undergoing comprehensive reforms to modernize its institutional capacity, leverage cutting-edge digital media technologies, and enhance its capabilities in data collection, organization, and analysis. Our objective extends beyond bridging the information gap between the government and the public we aim to build a world-class, competitive, and credible media and communication system that projects Ethiopia’s authentic image to the global community.
Our enduring unity, the bedrock of our Ethiopian identity, remains the primary solution to any challenges we encounter. Guided by the principles of transparency, accountability, and the provision of timely information, our institution is working diligently to fortify the bond of trust between the government and the public. The Government Communication Service is mandated to project Ethiopia’s authentic image and objective realities by proactively shaping the information agenda. By validating the national narrative and fostering a democratic culture, the Service plays a pivotal role in ensuring the successful realization of our national development goals.
The effective execution of this mandate requires strategic leadership, continuous innovation, and organizational agility. Consequently, call upon our citizens to remain vigilant against disinformation and divisive agendas, and to actively participate in the vital work of nation-building and the ongoing consolidation of our democratic system.
