Unlocking Digital Solutions for Agricultural Advancement: GFRAS Study on Digital Rural Advisory Services

GFRAS supported by the Sector Project Agriculture has been conducting a study on the benefits of digital rural advisory services with the aim to understand exactly how digital rural advisory services can support the promotion of good agricultural practices (GAP) and improve farmers’ livelihoods. Under the guidance of the GFRAS Regional Networks in Anglophone Africa, Francophone Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia, success and constraint factors for digital rural advisory services were identified, as well as needs and opportunities for the public sector to engage further in digital agriculture.

The main findings on 1) the current potentials and the challenges regarding digital rural advisory services, 2) the success factors and challenges for scaling digital advisory service solutions and 3) the operational and institutional implications of using such digital advisory services for the private and public sector will be presented and discussed.
