My Journey in Black and White

Its half past 11am and I have not even pressed a single button of the keyboard, yet I have a dozen of correspondence to clear, my nerves are also giving me a strange filling, companionship seems to have distanced itself from my life...could it be a glimpse of what is yet to come, a glance of how the struggles of the years explored would bear fruit of the exploration? This question strikes my conscious every moment, as I look around my eyes globe like open, like some one falling of the helicopter in a crashland...into a desert of the foreign tongue...Swiftly the sparkly seemily mineral deposits of the desert sands brings hope as their reflected rays lights up my shy eyes...then what?

The solution is targeting farmer’s welfare through Savings and Credit Cooperative Organis...

CTA BROADENS SUPPORT FOR YOUNG AGRI-PRENEURS THROUGH AGRIHACK INITIATIVE

  The Challenge of weak integration of ICT in agriculture Technology  plays a great role  in enhancing advisory services, knowledge exchange, data acquisition and access to market and trade in the agricultural sector. As mobile communications technology widens and  subscriptions increase at a high rate , the opportunity to leverage the role of ICTs in agriculture for improved and sustainable agricultural development becomes more possible/obvious. However, despite the tremendous possibilities that exist, technological innovations and applications are still weakly harnessed for agricultural development. Stakeholders at the national and international levels are calling for increased actions in these areas, as articulated during the  2013 ICT4Ag Conference  organised by CTA and its partners. Youth participation is critical for the development and dispersion of those innovations. Exploring youth entrepreneurship opportunities through ICT4Ag According to  IT...
