The first national workshop in Ethiopia was jointly organised by the then Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) through its Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government to build institutional capacity to collect, analyse and publish e-government data and related sectoral data, with a view to develop e-government policies, directives, laws, legislations, etc., to support the SDGs. The workshop was hosted by United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UN ECA) in Addis Ababa on 10-11 October 2018. A total of 45 middle to senior level government officials at both the national and local levels participated at the workshop, representing 11 local regions and 10 Ministries and agencies (see annex on full list of workshop participants). These participants were selected as they have decision-making roles and responsibilities in their ministries/agencies, as respective lead agencies for selected SDG indicators.
