The event was also attended by Mekuria Haile, Head of the Ethiopian Federal Civil Service Commission, Awelu Abdi, Vice President of the Oromia region, and other officials.

Government agencies and private organizations provide more than 130 services to the public at the respective service centers. The infrastructure of the centers includes service desks, information points, waiting rooms, self-service kiosks, and children's corners.
