Safaricom Ethiopia and Ethiopian Shipping and Logistics (ESL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening logistics coordination and improving service delivery in Ethiopia.
The agreement was formalised during a signing ceremony attended by Safaricom Ethiopia Chief External Affairs Officer Andualem Admassie, representing the company’s CEO, Wim Vanhellepute, and ESL Chief Executive Officer Sahrew Kebede, alongside senior executives from both organisations.
Through the partnership, the two organisations intend to improve coordination between their operations and contribute to the development of Ethiopia’s trade and logistics ecosystem.
The collaboration brings together Safaricom Ethiopia’s telecommunications and digital services capabilities with ESL’s role in the country’s shipping and logistics sector. The partnership is expected to support closer operational coordination and improved service delivery.
However, the announcement did not disclose the financial value of the agreement, specific implementation timelines or the individual projects planned under the partnership.
The MoU marks a step towards greater cooperation between the two organisations as Ethiopia continues to develop its trade and logistics infrastructure.
