This review examines the impact of ICT enhanced service delivery system on agricultural extension services delivery in Ethiopia. Agricultural extension services include transferring knowledge to farmers, advising and educating farmers in their decision making, enabling farmers to clarify their own goals and possibilities, and stimulating desirable agricultural developments. ICT in Ethiopia has remained one of the prime movers in the development of agriculture and invariably in the rural development. This paper reviewed the role ICT for agricultural extension services in the development of agriculture and rural transformation in Ethiopia. It is the belief of this paper that no nation will have real growth in the agricultural sector without effective ICT based extension service. It is also the belief of this paper that total eradication of agricultural development problems can be achieved through extension service approach if the role of extension is properly conceived and effectively administered. The emergence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in this era has opened new avenues in agricultural knowledge management that could play an important role in meeting the prevailing challenges related to innovation, sharing, exchanging and disseminating agricultural information, knowledge and technologies to the intended smallholder farmers.
