Impact of Government Policies on the Development of ICT in Ethiopia

Unfortunately, during the same period, most third world countries, including Ethiopia, have done very little to increase ICT penetration in their countries. It is therefore not surprising that their production efficiency has remained almost as low as it was five decades ago. Since most of these countries also have very high population growth, the quality of life of the majority of their population is in fact deteriorating instead of improving. Consequently, these countries are facing more and more economic, social and political problems that have put them on the verge of complete collapse.
