iLicenese user manual: A practical guide on how to use eRIS- iLicense to manage licensing activities for the Ethiopian Food and Drug Authority

Abstract

This document is a manual designed to provide a step-by-step guide on how to use the iLicense application. iLicense is a web-based tool that allows importers, exporters, wholesalers, and manufacturers to apply for a certificate of competency and for EFDA to approve these applications. iLicense is a component of the Electronic Regulatory Information System (eRIS). eRIS was designed and implemented to facilitate the licensing, inspection, registration, and import permit processes for medicines, food, cosmetics, and medical devices. eRIS is the umbrella system at EFDA and is composed of sub-systems that work together:iLicense, iInspect, iRegister, iImport, iClearance, and iVerify. Fully online, both applicants and EFDA use eRIS and its sub-component systems to manage the licensing, registration, and import application processes using this shared portal.
