1. Consultative Workshop
“Using ICT to strengthen youth opportunities
in agriculture and rural areas”
Johannesburg, South Africa, 20th May 2012
Report
On the occasion of the second anniversary of the launch of the CTA’s ARDYIS project and the
organization of the prize giving ceremony of the YoBloCo Awards, a full day Consultative
Workshop was held in Johannesburg, South Africa, on May 20, 2012.
The main objective of the meeting was to share experiences and practices on strengthening
youth opportunities in Agriculture and ICTs, in order to identify strategies and concrete actions
that the ARDYIS project and partners can work on.
CTA sponsored the participation of 26 people, including young agri-bloggers, development
practitioners and representatives of organizations involved in ICT for agricultural and rural
development. Many national and international organizations, both from the public and the
private sectors were represented at the workshop, including: CaFAN, ANAFE, ICT4D Jamaica,

The workshop was structured into five thematic sessions2. It started with the opening remarks
of Mr Ken Lohento, programme coordinator of ARDYIS project, and Mr Sebastian
Chakeredza, representative of ANAFE and member of the ARDYIS advisory board, who
welcomed the participants.
Session I – YoBloCo Awards: presentation of selected blogs
The first session aimed at discussing about
the experience of young agri-bloggers and
started with the presentations delivered by
three participants of the YoBloCo Awards.
The first speaker, Mr Keron Bascombe, from
Trinidad and Tobago, presented his activity of
blogger for the Agribusiness Society of the
University of West Indies (ABS), winner of the
Institutional Category of the YoBloCo Awards
for the Caribbean. ABS is a student
organization established by the agricultural
students at UWI, that aims at widening the
scale of opportunities to develop agriculture Mr Peter Ballantyne, member of the YoBloCo Awards
jury, facilitates session I.
through agribusiness. Keron, who is the
executive of the organization as well as the creator/animator of the blog, highlighted the pivotal
role of the blog for information and communication, both to reach the local students and other
interested people from all over the world. Nevertheless, he pointed out a problem that affects
many agricultural bloggers: the lack of followers and, therefore, the difficulty of engaging them
in a two-way exchange about agricultural issues. That issue was highlighted also by the other
presentations and during the following discussion.
The following speaker was Ms Nawsheen Hosenally, 1st prize winner of the Individual
Category, who presented her blog “Nawsheen’s World”. The blog, active since 2010, had a
turning point in 2011, when Nawsheen had the possibility to attend a Web 2.0 Learning
Opportunity organized by CTA. Since that experience, Nawsheen started to consistently write
about agricultural issues in Mauritius and other countries. She highlighted the many benefits of
blogging. First of all, blogging has now become an integral part of her life, that even changed
the way she looks at things around her. For her now, every class, every meeting, every
experience she makes can be matter for a post, that can be shared and that people from all

widen her social network (which is having a positive impact on her job opportunities) and to
create her own online identity as a young expert in the agricultural sector. In fact, she also
stressed how the more she writes, the better her writing abilities get and the more she learns
about agriculture. The participation in the YoBloCo Awards was a boost for her to focus even
more on issues related with youth, agriculture and ICT use, and allowed her blog to reach a
much wider visibility. In support of this, she displayed some of her blog’s statistics, that
showed that visits to her blog increased significantly. Not surprisingly, the peak of accesses to
her blog coincided with the launch of the public evaluation.
The third speaker, Mr Emmanuel Anago
Codjo, presented the perspective of the
Conseil Régional des Riziculteurs de Mono-
Couffo (CRRMC), a farmers’ organization
based in Bénin. He explained that blogging is
one of the most important tools that his
organization uses to promote and develop its
business, along with village meetings,
electronic bulletins and other web 2.0 tools
like Facebook and Twitter. The blog is a way
to gain visibility both locally and regionally,
sharing information about their product and

answer the questions of participants. their activities. Emmanuel reported that
blogging had a beneficial impact on his
organization, as it strengthens its networks and increased the collaboration with other
organizations and individuals. For example, the organization receives many requests for the
participation to conferences and the supervision of students of agriculture, as a consequence
of sharing relevant information about rice production. According to Emmanuel, for a farmers’
organization like CRRMC the biggest issue related to blogging is the lack of human resources
dedicated to maintain and update the blog, as well as getting all the members to actively
cooperate in writing articles. In fact, all bloggers agree that, although blogging is a very
rewarding activity, it also takes much time, and writing consistently can be very difficult.
After the three presentations, participants were engaged in a lively discussion about blogging
on agriculture, through questions and comments. One of the issues that drew more attention is
the relationship between the blogger and their readers. While most of the blogs that
participated in the YoBloCo Awards increased their visibility, there is still a lack of comments
from the readers. The bloggers reported that sometimes readers are reluctant to engage in a
public discussion commenting on a post, and they prefer a personal communication with the
author via Facebook or email. Therefore, a small number of comments is not necessarily a
synonym of the blog’s ineffectiveness.
In fact, all bloggers use and integrate a large number of web 2.0 tools in their online activity.
For example, Facebook and Twitter are powerful tools to promote blogs among the social
networks and to exchange contacts. The blogs, however, are the best place where they can
write original articles, share their experience and show their expertise. As Mr Krishan Bheenick
(CTA) pointed out during the discussion, bloggers are gaining popularity and credibility in the
sector of agriculture, as long as they prove their skills. Therefore, through their blogs youth can

for example, when searching for a job.
Session II – YoBloCo Awards: organization and perspectives
The second session was opened by Ms
Keeley Holder, representative of CaFAN and
facilitator of the session. She introduced the
presentation of Mr Giorgio Bellinzas, ICT4D
intern at CTA, that spoke about the
organization of the YoBloCo Awards and the
perspectives for the future of the competition.
He highlighted the aim of the competition and
its milestones, from its launch to the various
stages of the blogs’ evaluation. In particular,
he showed that more than 2000 users
participated in the public online evaluation
Mr Giorgio Bellinzas (CTA). voting in the individual category and more
than 600 users commented on the institutional category. Giorgio further shared the results of a
survey undertaken on YoBloCo participants, which showed a first impact of the competition.
For example, almost half of the participant blogs were newly created. While it is still too soon
to know if participants will keep on blogging in the future, this is certainly a good measure of
the fact that the competition successfully engaged youth to take action and to start sharing
their knowledge through blogs. Respondents of the survey also consistently said that the
competition positively affected their ICT skills and their interest in agriculture. The competition
also significantly increased the visibility of their blogs, especially during the online evaluation
stage.
The presentation heated a long discussion, mostly concentrated on the perspective for next
years’ editions and how to handle the main challenges that were faced. In particular, the
organizers pointed out the scarce participation from some ACP regions, in particular
Caribbean, Pacific and Central Africa. The participants of the workshop agreed that a key
element in this regard is a more intense, diversified and localized promotion, that makes use of
many communication means, from the internet to the radio and printed newspapers and
bulletins. The engagement of local partners of the ARDYIS project, in this case, is extremely
important, as they can use their network to promote the contest. The face to face
communication should not be neglected as well, as many bloggers reported that they were
encouraged to take part in the competition by members of their family and friends.
Apart from a better promotion, the discussion pointed out how increasing the prizes for
winners can have a good impact, as well as giving a reward to all the participants/finalists (for
example, a certificate of participation or relevant material, such as CTA publications).
Moreover, participants agreed on the importance of increasing Web 2.0 skills for young
people. In this regard, the Web 2.0 Learning Opportunities organized by CTA have a high
reputation and participants suggested to strengthen these kinds of initiatives as they are
considered very effective.
4

5. Other questions drew the attention of participants: how to promote agricultural blogs? How to
keep bloggers’ engagement after the competition? Many concrete actions have been
proposed in this regard. For example CTA can have a role in promoting relevant articles in
their websites and journals (e.g. ICT Update), and a web-based platform to collect articles
from participants of the YoBloCo Awards can be created.
A final question animated the end of the session: how blogs are actually reaching the farmers?
It is in fact well recognized that, due to several factors (e.g. lack of connectivity in rural areas,
lack of skills, illiteracy etc.) many farmers cannot directly benefit from the information published
in the Internet, nor they can write their own articles to share their experience and their
questions. In this regard, Ken Lohento emphasized the role of the farmers’ organization and
other collective actors, that have the capabilities and the network to share the content with
farmers and collect local knowledge from them. In light of this, the YoBloCo Awards
distinguished between individual and institutional category, that differed substantially. For
example, the latter received less entries (22, as against the 69 entries of the individual
category) and appointed three regional winners, for West Africa, East Africa and Caribbean,
that were awarded with a cash prize of 3,000 Euros each.
Session III – Presentation of ARDYIS Project’s activities (2010 - 2012)
The third session was aimed at presenting the
two years activities of the ARDYIS project,
and to discuss about its future perspectives. A
presentation was given by Ken Lohento, who
firstly talked about the work of CTA, with a
special focus on its ICT programme and the
activities aimed at increasing ACP youth
involvement in agriculture. Lohento presented
a worrisome reality, in which the agricultural
working population is aging and youth are less
and less interested in farming, as this
profession is often perceived as poorly

remunerative and appealing. However, he also
highlighted that there are full possibilities of reversing this trend, as not only agriculture needs
youth, but also the youth needs agriculture. In fact, agriculture is still the main source of
employment in most ACP countries, and the integration of ICTs is increasing job opportunities
throughout the various agricultural value-chains. Recognizing these new opportunities, CTA
launched many initiatives to engage youth in agriculture, encouraging, informing and training
them.
The presentation went on with a focus on the various activities undertaken in the ARDYIS
framework, along with key achievements and impact on youth. ARDYIS has a strong and
growing network of young persons involved in agriculture, who interact and exchange through
different online channels, such as the DGroup platform (two forums of discussion, in English
and in French), the ARDYIS website and Facebook page. ARDYIS is committed to a
continuative activity of information dissemination regarding youth opportunities in agriculture,
5

6. and became a well recognized channel for such information. Moreover, the project organized
essay and blog competitions, supported many young persons in attending relevant
conferences and Web 2.0 trainings, and facilitated the production of an advocacy document
calling for stronger support for youth involvement in agriculture and ICT.
The conclusion of the presentation was dedicated to the future perspectives: first of all, the
ARDYIS project will more and more aim at working closely with youth organizations involved in
agriculture and rural development. ARDYIS will support projects proposed by youth
organizations, as long as these projects target youth in agriculture and ICT. In this regard,
CTA is currently giving priority to projects that have a regional scope. Increasing effort will be
also made to improve youth opportunities in rural areas, and to identify new ways to use ICT in
order to enhance youth involvement in agriculture. Finally, CTA is also working on the
development of a consistent strategy for youth, in which the experience matured within the
ARDYIS project will be highlighted.
All the participants welcomed the ARDYIS activities, and especially highlighted the role that
CTA can play in strengthening the networks and encouraging, supporting and facilitating youth
projects, as well as youth involvement in
advocacy and policy making. However, many
participants remarked how rural areas in
ACP countries still suffer from inadequate
infrastructures, especially when talking about
new ICT. Following a question about CTA’s
role in developing IT networks in the ACP
countries, Ken Lohento stressed that CTA is
not directly involved in the deployment of
infrastructures. Nevertheless, it strongly
advocates for a sound ICT policy, that takes
into account the needs of agriculture and
rural areas. Mr Sylvestre Ouèdraogo (Yam Pukri).
The session went on with the presentation of Mr Sylvestre Ouèdraogo, who discussed the role
of Yam Pukri, the organization he represents, in the Advisory Committee of the ARDYIS
project. Yam Pukri is an association established in 1998 and based in Ouagadougou, Burkina
Faso. It provides information, training and advice on the application of new technology in
various fields, including agriculture, and has been involved in many activities targeting youth.
Session IV – Partners’ experiences relating to youth involvement in ICT and
agriculture
The fourth session aimed at giving an overview of the experiences of current and potential
partners in dealing with youth involvement in ICT and agriculture. The discussion was opened
by Mr Matthew de Gale, Programme Manager at SANGONeT. This is a non-profit organization
based in South Africa, which works in the field of ICTs for agricultural and rural development.
Matthew presented two case studies based on the activity of SANGONeT as developer of
mobile applications for farmers, notably a recording system for cows lactation implemented in
6

7. East Africa and a market information system
implemented in Zambia. These case studies
also showed how ICTs in agriculture are
definitely a source of opportunities especially
for youth. For example, the lactation recording
system was first developed by a young ICT
graduate from Kenya, and the adoption of both
systems was strictly linked to the initial
engagement of young early adopters. His case
studies showed how young people are the
natural beneficiaries of new and innovative jobs
throughout the agricultural value chains, and
that ICTs can increment the status and Mr Mattew de Gale (SANGONeT).
livelihoods of users.
Ms Anju Mangal, representing the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, gave a presentation
about the experience of her organization in increasing the participation of youth in agriculture
and ICTs. The Pacific region has specific issues, such as high youth unemployment rate,
economic instability, high incidence of natural disasters and lack of connectivity. To counteract
these issues, youth are key actors to look at, and they are therefore a priority for SPC that
carried out a series of initiatives, also in partnership with CTA and other agricultural institutions
such as FAO, including the use of blogs, market information systems and GIS systems for the
agricultural and rural development. Her presentation highlighted that we often run the risk of
considering ICTs more like a quick solution, rather than a tool to achieve real development.
The last presentation of this session was given by Ms Gracia Mulumba, of the Organization of
African Youth (OAY), an international NGO funded in 2009 and devoted to supporting youth
policy making, innovation and entrepreneurship in Africa. She stressed that youth initiatives,
especially those linked with agriculture, must be sustained in many different ways by donors
and national governments: there is primarily a need for financial support, but also for capacity
building and for the development of entrepreneurial spirit. She also reminded the outcomes of
the African Youth Day Conference, held in November 2011. In that occasion, a series of
recommendations were made that called for the creation of a network of institutions to advise
and support youth.
Session V – Group discussions
The last session of the workshop was maybe the most challenging, but interesting as well.
Participants were organized into small groups of 5 to 7 persons, which independently
discussed about concrete possibilities to use ICTs in order to improve youth livelihoods and
opportunities in agriculture and rural areas. Groups animatedly discussed for more than one
hour, took notes and sketched their ideas on flipcharts until they found five concrete
suggestions to propose to the audience. The groups discussed around the thematic
“Improving opportunities for youth in agriculture with ICT” and “Improving livelihoods and
opportunities for youth in rural areas with ICT”. Apart from a general explanation of the
rationale of the project ideas, groups had to highlight which stakeholders and partners could
7

and risks and opportunities to be taken into
account.
In this occasion youth proved themselves
to be well aware of their issues and their
needs and, based on that, they were able
to propose a set of well thought and smart
solutions. The representatives of the
various organizations present at the
workshop did not step back, but instead
constantly proposed their collaboration in
their field of expertise. For a presentation
Participants discuss about their project ideas. of some of these actions and projects
recommendations, see Annex 1.
The need for information can be considered the common denominator of almost all the actions
proposed. All the groups pointed out at least a project idea aimed at sharing positive and
proactive information, such as highlighting success stories of youth engaged in agriculture and
ICTs, along with their challenges and how to overcome them. Youth pointed out their need for
inspiration and awareness raising about the many possibilities offered by agriculture and the
related use of ICT, as one of the main issues is still considered the widespread perception of
agriculture as a work for poor and aged people. In this sense, the participants stressed the
importance of gathering knowledge and best practices based on the experience in the local
contest.
The second most frequent issue that participants aimed to tackle was the lack of ICT skills in
young people from the ACP countries, especially those based in rural areas. Youth proposed
therefore the creation of new ICT trainings and the strengthening of the already established
ones, such as CTA’s Web 2.0 learning opportunities. Participants also highlighted the
importance of identifying the most appropriate ICT tools in this regard, and the majority of
them saw the mobile technology as the future (or, rather, the present) for the development of
agriculture.
After more than 10 hours of intense discussion, the workshop came to an end with the closing
remarks of Ken Lohento. He thanked the participants and whished the same success for the
IAALD conference that took place the days after.
