Abstract
The age of information brought lots of opportunity to the global economy. E-government is one
of the potential advantages of Information and Communication Technology. E-government is
defined as the delivery of government services and information to the public using electronic
means. Among many of the e-government services, vital event registration application, which is
characterized as Public-Interface Services Application (PISA), is the main e-government
application for the provision of e-government related services and information to the public at
large. Vital event registration is the systematic, continuous, permanent, compulsory and
universal recording of the occurrence and characteristics of vital events (live births, deaths, fetal
deaths, marriages, and divorces) and other civil status events pertaining to the population as
provided by decree, law or regulation, in accordance with the legal requirements in each country.
This project aimed to develop Enhanced Electronic Vital Events Registration System for
Ethiopia, which can handle the five (birth, death, marriage, divorce, and adoption) major vital
events. To address the problem a web-based application which handles birth, death, marriage,
divorce, and adoption is developed. The application serves both in Amharic and English. The
system is designed in such a way to be accessible via the Internet. Customers have access based
on their privilege level. The system enables registration, update of individual records, generating
reports based on the demand of the customer, issuance of certificates and index cards upon
registration of events, certification of vital events documents, and viewing of individual records
for special customers such as court. Object oriented software engineering and ASP.NET 3.5
platform is employed to develop the project.
