Abstract: The paper discusses the relationship among information, knowledge and technology management, with special emphasis on their applications in developing economies and how they relate to sustainable development. It also discusses the role of national Information Technology (IT) policy in providing enabling environments for Knowledge Management (KM) for sustainable development. Finally, the paper appraises a major national IT policy in an African country (Ethiopia) to further provide insight into the provision of enabling an environment that can lead to the process of KM for sustainable development.
