Safaricom Ethiopia has distinguished itself as a leading force within the Vodacom Group, earning two top honors at the Vodacom Group External Relations 2025 Conference, held from April 7 to 10 in Fancourt, George, South Africa. The company received awards for Excellence in Stakeholder Engagement Leadership and Outstanding Youth Empowerment Partnership, underscoring its expanding impact across the African continent.
These awards reflect Safaricom Ethiopia’s strong strategic direction and commitment to social development, particularly in fostering meaningful relationships with stakeholders and driving initiatives that support youth. The recognition comes just over two years after the company began operations, as it continues to play a significant role in Ethiopia’s digital and economic progress.
The annual gathering brought together external relations teams from eight Vodacom markets—Ethiopia, South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Egypt, the DRC, and Lesotho—alongside representatives from Vodafone UK, Safaricom Kenya, GSMA, consultants, and industry leaders. The event served as a platform for exchanging innovative ideas, enhancing regional collaboration, and acknowledging exceptional contributions.
