visit to Ethiopia, Leyla Aliyeva visited the MESOB One-Stop Service
Center, located in the capital, Addis Ababa, Trend reports.


Leyla Aliyeva was welcomed by Federal Civil Service Commissioner
Mekuria Haile.


It was noted that the MESOB Service Center, established based on
the “ASAN Khidmet” model, is a modern one-stop platform
facilitating citizens’ access to key government services. MESOB
brings together more than 140 federal agencies within a single
digital and physical hub, ensuring faster, more convenient, and
more reliable public service delivery.


A Memorandum of Understanding was signed in May 2024 between the
State Agency for Public Service and Social Innovations under the
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the relevant Ethiopian
agency on the implementation of the “ASAN Khidmet” experience in
Ethiopia.


During the meeting between President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and President of the Federal Democratic
Republic of Ethiopia Taye Atske-Selassie on November 14, 2024, on
the sidelines of COP29, the Ethiopian side expressed interest in
applying the “ASAN Khidmet” model in their country and requested
Azerbaijan’s support in this regard.


Over the past period, specialists from the State Agency have
conducted training sessions for Ethiopian civil servants, prepared
legal and other necessary documents related to the implementation
of the “ASAN Khidmet” practice in Ethiopia, developed advisory
documents based on the technological solutions applied in ASAN
Khidmet centers, and established a unified service standard.
