About PolicyWatch-ET

Government policy changes, explained in plain language — built for Ethiopian business owners, startup founders, and finance professionals.

Why this exists

Many Ethiopians struggle to stay informed about new proclamations, directives, and regulations. Official documents are scattered across government websites and written in dense legal language — so changes are often missed or misunderstood until it's too late.

PolicyWatch-ET scrapes official sources, summarizes each document with AI, and presents what changed, who is affected, what action is needed and many more — in plain English, always linked back to the original source.
