Terms of Reference

The purpose of this consultancy is to undertake a stocktaking analysis of the status of digitalization in the agricultural systems of the SADC region paying special attention to agricultural research for development, agriculture education, agriculture extension and market linkages.

In this compendium, the authors present selected technologies which were generated and/or disseminated by APPSA. These technologies continue to play a big role in revolutionizing agricultural production and productivity in the SADC region. Stakeholders are encouraged to continue disseminating the technologies amongst smallholder farmers and other end-users to ensure wide adoption.

Duplication of efforts in research and development (R&D) work in the region costs millions of dollars every year. This is attributed to lack of coordination, limited research communication among R&D institutions and the beneficiaries. Knowledge exchange on developments in technologies, innovations, and management practices in agriculture need to be effectively disseminated if gains in research investments are to be realised.

This report highlights the CAADPXP4 launch and inception meeting which took place in Lusaka, Zambia.
