The ICT 4 Agriculture conference
will be taking place in Kigali, Rwanda from 4-8 November 2013 to look
into the future of ICTs for agriculture. KINU is a partner of the ICT4ag
conference. This conference is not just for policy makers, people in
public sector or “ICT people”. We are interested in showcasing and
sharing projects that are community initiatives.

advocacy and policy development, and assessing the impact of ICTs.
