can be used to achieve development in developing regions. At the same time the majority of the
population in developing regions is without access to the technology and lack basic skills and
knowledge required to use it. Rather than importing solutions developed in other regions, there
is now an increasing focus on developing context-sensitive ICT tools and educational programs in
developing regions.

| ICTs and National Agricultural Research Systems–e-Development for the Grassroots: The Tanzania Case |
| Author | Dates | Summary |
| Kapange, B | 2006 | Tanzania's main economic pillar is embedded in the agricultural sector, which supports over 33 million people and contributes 60% of country's GDP, 61% to export earnings and provides 84% of rural employment. The Tanzania Development Vision has set a target of achieving a level of general standards of living typical of medium-income countries by the year 2025. For the agricultural sector to fully contribute towards the sustainable development target, it should grow annually by 7%, implying more than doubling the current annual growth rate of 3.3%. Agricultural research has a major role to play in increasing productivity and profitability of the sector through development of scientific knowledge to generate improved technologies for the production systems. Agricultural extension complements this effort by transferring technologies developed by the NARS to the end users. |
