  1. e-Agriculture strategies and agriculture Open data Ken Lohento, CTA Geneva, WSIS Forum 2015

  2. States of e-agriculture strategy development (2013 study) Legend 1 = Awareness Creation; 2 = Visioning/Formulation; 3 = Approval; 4 = Implementation; 5 = Monitoring & Evaluation

  3. Study: Open Data and Smallholder Food and Nutritional Security

  4. Open data for smallholder farmers Open Definition’s  “data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone – subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and share alike the report sets out to examine the degree to which more freely available data could be of use to smallholder households and the current impact of existing open data initiatives. 

  5. Findings The study found that, despite the potential value of open data to smallholder farmers in developing countries being high, there are few readily available examples of direct impact on food and nutrition security of smallholders. However, there is a clear indirect benefit of open data usage for smallholders, including the contribution to better governance Some data on open space and meteorological data – International data

  6. Overview study on Open data in the Caribbean

  7. More info on the open data reports See CTA website http://www.cta.int/images/Open_Data_Carib_new_cover.pdf http://www.cta.int/images/Opendataforsmallholders-report_.pdf

  8. Lessons learned Strong collaboration between the Ministry of ICT and the Ministry of Agriculture Multiplicity of authorities for the agricultural sector seems a hindrance for the holistic e-agriculture strategy implementation Focus, if needed, on sub-sectoral strategies, but holistic vision needed Political leadership of the ministry(ies) of Agriculture Addressing strategically short term status of political mandates in many countries Make strategy development comprehensive but not cumbersome and too lengthy

  9. Lessons learned focus on the services to be developed, improving the experiences of the beneficiaries The newest, most elaborate, or most innovative technology is not usually the most appropriate affordability and access, shared access important Better use of Universal access funds Device convergence, Service convergence and Network convergence Attractprivateinvestments – PPP Youth is a key drivers of e-agriculture projectssuccess
