To improve understanding of challenges and opportunities in the ARD
ARDYIS – ARD and Youth in the Information Society The purpose of ARDYIS is to raise youth awareness and capacity on agricultural and rural development issues in ACP countries through ICTs. More specifically, it will strengthen the capacities of the youth on ICTs for development issues, particularly in the agricultural and rural sector and contribute to sensitizing youth on the questions related to agriculture and rural development in ACP countries
The new strategic plan, 2011-2015 will strengthen CTA’s position as a premier centre for ARD knowledge sharing, networking, capacity building and advocacy.
