ABSTRACT
Environmental problems in Ethiopia are manifold and impede the country progression from the league of Least Developed Countries. Frequently recurring natural disasters such as droughts and floods are compounding the problem. While there are numerous ICT initiatives in the country, very few of them are dealing with environmental issues in a holistic way. The paper proposes an electronic environmental governance platform and four key environmental thrust areas to be considered for better e-enabled governance, to support the existing efforts in the country to address the enormous environmental problems. The paper also provides a simplified multidimensional electronic environmental governance model. The paper concludes by providing certain areas which needs due attention for ensuring the success of electronic environmental governance.
