Kenya - Rural Transformation Centres Digital Platform Project

Rural Transformation Centres Digital Platform Project is designed to empower and integrate smallholder farmers with all actors along the agriculture value chain, through connecting farmers with private sector and public services. Farmers will be at the center of a single digital "ecosystem" and connected to value chain players, with the goal of increasing productivity, profitability and the sustainability of agricultural cooperatives and hence the entire agriculture/food and trade value supply chains. The project will also be pivotal in enhancing linkages between upstream, midstream and downstream agriculture value chain stakeholders. It comprises four main components namely: (1) Assessment of user needs, & system requirements analysis, (2) Digital platform development (3) Test & deployment and (4) Project management.
