The UNFFE ICT4Farmers Initiative is one of the pillar programmes for UNFFE 2030 vision, which is focused on transforming smallholder agriculture into sustainable and profitable enterprises. The UNFFE ICT4farmer initiative is implemented in partnership with Eight Tech Consults (www.8technologies.net) one of the leading ICT4Agric firms in the region…
Uganda National Farmers Federation in Partnership with Eight Technologies is implementing a multi-year programme with kind support from Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) on accelerating digitalization of smallholder agriculture in Uganda as an engine of social transformation of our country.
This initiative has three (3) thematic results areas, which are;
1) Establishment of an integrated stakeholder decision enhancement service platform
2) Digital skilling of farmers and other value chain actors
3) Establishment of a content development and distribution mechanism across value chains
