Weak agricultural and health systems and limited availability of agricultural and health data hampers decision-makers’ capacity to prioritize investments in both sectors. With improved data, countries will be able to monitor or achieve SDG2 for agriculture and SDG3 for good Health and well-being to promote sustainable health care services. Accurate data are needed to provide guidance to address the challenges stated above. ASHA addresses these agriculture and health ICT and data challenges as regards to timely and accuracy data acquisition through establishing a unique digital platform to facilitate all stakeholder involved in agricultural sector to get reliable information and data related to Connecting rural communities (youth and women) to economic opportunities through access and utilization of ICT to advance social economic empowerment.
The agricultural and health sectors are of critical importance for the economic development, poverty reduction, and nutritional security of Rwanda. In the last two decades, the two sectors have registered tremendous transformation.
However, across the two sectors these achievements have been met with challenges that include soil erosion, population pressure, water pollution, inadequate fertilizers, health services which are either inaccessible, unavailable, unaffordable or of poor quality, frequency and quality of the data produced and low level of effective utilization of ICT for information sharing, empowerment and transformation of youth.
ASHA plans to join other stakeholders to address these challenges through use of innovational technologies and ICT. The organization will focus on possible routes causes and cofounding factors and potential remedial actions will be a unique opportunity to address these challenges over a long-term period.
