During her address, Zawede told reports that roadmap is supported by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and noted that many other agencies like government, private sector,development partners, civil societies,and academicians.

ICT  services such as transport, E-payments, online application services such as Visa application, online food ordering  and delivery have been adapted by majority population leaving the government with a debt to reinvest and develop the sector.
