Ethiopia’s prime minister has identified 4 basic building blocks for the country’s digital economy, including the introduction of a national digital ID.
He also aims to build interoperable payment platforms, strengthen e-government applications, and ultimately enable e-commerce.
As CNF reported, John O’Connor, Director of African Operations at IOG, announced the world’s largest deployment of blockchain in Ethiopia in early February. Since then, there have been some bureaucratic delays in the final signing of the government contract that will bring several million users onto the Cardano blockchain. However, after much back and forth, the minister in charge in Ethiopia signed the contract just over a week ago, Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson revealed in a tweet.
