Rwanda is primarily an agrarian economy that is in
transition to a middle-income country by 2020. The
transformation of agriculture into a productive, high value,
market oriented sector, with forward linkages to other sectors
is thus one of the pillars of the Vision. This transformation is
also anchored in the belief that actively applying Information
and Communication Technology is critical to the transition
of the economy to an information-rich and knowledge-based
economy. This belief in the transformative power of ICT has led
to the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI)
in collaboration with other stakeholders, to develop a national
ICT4RAg strategy that recognizes the achievements, challenges,
and opportunities present in mainstreaming ICT in Agriculture.
The strategy further outlines the objectives, projects and
programs required to implement the national ICT4RAg Strategy
over the next five years (2016 – 2020). It is not a stand-alone
strategy, but closely aligned with the national ICT strategy,
SMART Rwanda Master Plan (SRMP) 2016 – 2020, and will
continue to rely and coordinate its implementation with the
SRMP execution agency, Rwanda Information Society Authority
(RISA) for functional and implementation support and guidance.
