Critical Mass Human Capacity Development
eSoko
eSoko Project
“… an ICT based Agricultural Market Information System that is used to collect and disseminate information about commodities that are sold on Rwandan markets.
Data about market prices is collected from the field in real-time by agriculture agents from the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources
Results Reduce the costs and
stabilize the prices of the basic foodstuffs
Sensitize producers to invest in new products that can generate more revenues
Facilitate the access to the foodstuffs by the population at a fair price
contribute to stability of prices at reasonable levels by encouraging greater competition

Inside the ICT Bus
The ICT buses – a ray of hope for remote rural residents . In Rwanda today, unavailability of power or computers does not mean a village is “inaccessible” . The ICT bus, knows no barriers, it is customized to take ICT services to even the most rugged terrain. Like its tag, to bridge the digital divide.
Women at the forefront in the search for ICT skills. More than 50% of the trainees on these buses are women.
Acute shortage of Skills Human Capital
Need to integrate and harmonize ICT4D program at the regional and continent level
Lack of ownership – need to involve all the stakeholders and educate them on how ICT can help them improve their life
Power shortage
Capacity to Monitor and Evaluate NICI Implementation at the outcome level
Limited Information Security
Nascent private sector
Need to address last mile connectivity

Conclusion Despite substantial successes in achieving
NICI goal — a lot needs to be done and we can effectively realise our goal by adopting integrated and Harmonised approach by Member States.
The many lessons learned by different Member States that offer a strong base upon which going forward we must build on.
