Ethiopost is a state-owned enterprise (SOE) tasked with the establishment and expansion of postal services in the country. It is the designated postal operator (DPO) that provides postal services throughout the Ethiopian territory in order to fulfill the government’s universal service obligation (USO).
The postal sector has been impacted by many disruptions resulting from digitization and more recently the COVID-19 pandemic. DPOs have hence adopted their operations to these changes and persisted in the face of challenges. Similar to trends in the industry elsewhere, Ethiopian Post has been expanding into new businesses including financial services, transportation, and retail in addition to its core business of delivering letters and parcels.
Over the past two years, Ethiopost has been implementing an institutional reform aimed at optimizing its operational processes, strengthening its controlling systems, and increasing its revenues to secure a firm financial standing. It has intensified efforts to expand its financial service offering as well as venture into an e-commerce service. It has benefited from the Universal Postal Union (UPU) programs in e-commerce to identify gaps and plan interventions to ensure that its internal workings are optimal for e-commerce operations.
Ethiopost is looking to expand its retail services by setting up an effective system to manage the distribution and sales of third-party stock.
