Ethiopia and in general Africa have not gone far on the software development road. The idea of Open Source has not prevailed in this part of the world partly due to the lack of skilled manpower in this area and additionally because the Software projects are monopolized by few unskilled and vendor locked-in companies that have nothing but their own best interest in mind.

• Lower cost: Adoption of personal computers based on Open Source Software for public use can reduce early entry cost by as much as 50%.

• Independence from proprietary technology: Over dependence of markets on a few foreign companies has recently raised concerns and with open source this concern can be solved.

• Availability of efficient and low-cost software: The virtuous examples of some products (such as Linux and Apache) have encouraged statements about the widespread availability of Open Source Software for public use.

• Capacity to develop custom applications and to redistribute the improved products: Given the open nature of Open Source Software, skilled local programmers could adapt the software to fit local needs, and thus increase the efficiency of the services provided by the improved products.
