| Abstract: | This paper reports the results of a survey of 400 respondents in Ethiopia about factors generating corruption and the potential
of e-Governance to mitigate corruption. It is suggested that e-Governance can help not only in weeding out corruption but
also in the establishment of sounder government citizen relationships in Ethiopia. While e-Governance cannot cure all the
structural factors that breed corruption in the society, strategic implementation of e-Governance can help improve the critical
variable in combating corruption-government citizen relationships. It is argued that while e-Governance initiatives can make
important contributions to improving public services they can best do so by helping improve overall relationships between
governments and citizens.
