Are government software projects reserved for local companies in Ethiopia?

In July 2024 the Ministry of Innovation and Technology (MInT) announced a policy that prioritises local companies for government software development projects whenever their capabilities are sufficient. For complex projects that need expertise beyond domestic capacity, MInT encourages joint ventures with foreign companies. Each tender still sets its own eligibility rules, so check the ToR. 360Ground is an Ethiopian company, accredited by INSA for government technology delivery, and builds and supports its systems in Ethiopia.
A management information system collects an institution’s operational data, such as plans, activities, staff, budgets and field reports, and turns it into dashboards and reports that managers use to decide. In government, an MIS replaces scattered spreadsheets and paper returns with one trusted source. For example, ATI’s integrated management platform, built by 360Ground, links national strategy to projects and weighted KPIs, and gives leadership real-time scorecards instead of manually compiled reports.
An applicant tracking system (ATS) manages recruitment from vacancy publication to hiring: applicants apply online, HR screens and shortlists in one dashboard, and candidates receive status updates. For public bodies it adds transparency, audit trails and protection for applicants’ personal data. The ATS 360Ground built for the Ethiopian Statistics Service meets INSA’s security protocols and cut the effort needed to process applications by an estimated 70%.
INSA develops some software itself and sets security requirements for government systems, but many institutions contract a private developer and work with INSA as their security partner. That is how the Ethiopian Statistics Service delivered its applicant tracking system, national learning management system and national statistics data bank with 360Ground. We design to INSA’s security protocols from the start, with role-based access, encryption and audit trails, so the system is ready for security review.
Cost depends on the number of modules and users, the number of regions or branches, integrations with existing systems, offline mobile needs, security review requirements, hosting and the length of the support period. Many institutions phase delivery to fit the budget year, starting with a core module and adding others later. After a scoping workshop or a review of your ToR, 360Ground gives an itemised proposal in birr.
We read the EOI or RFP and ToR in detail, then submit a technical proposal that covers our understanding of the requirements, methodology, work plan, team and relevant references, with a separate financial proposal where required. For the Ethiopian Statistics Service’s electronic market information system, the RFP’s functional and non-functional requirements became the blueprint for design, development, testing and user acceptance. We use the same discipline on every consultancy service for system development.
