AgriDI seeks to improve innovation frameworks and promote agri-based digital technology uptake in West Africa. Due to increased access to information and technology, digital technologies have the potential to make it simpler and more effective for farmers and small business owners, particularly women and young people, to produce and market their products, resulting in higher earnings. Through strengthened connections between research communities, industry, and policy actors, as well as an improved policy environment, AGriDI will increase the identification, adaptation, and use of agri-based digital technologies by farmers, SMEs, and especially women and youth to improve agricultural production and marketing.
