The annual ICT4D Conferences have proven to be an invaluable opportunity for NGOs, private sector organizations, universities, governmental agencies and foundations to share their experience in using ICT to increase the impact of development programs and to learn from each other.  In 2016, 715 individuals from 76 countries and 301 private sector and public sector and civil society explored the ways to harness the full power of digital solutions to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.  Our thanks to Accenture, Catholic Relief Services, Esri, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, iMerit Technology Services, Inmarsat, IS Solutions, Making All Voices Count, Mercy Corps, Microsoft, NetHope, Oxfam, Pandexio, Qualcom Wireless Reach, RTI International, SimbaNet and World Vision for making that possible.

Session Evaluation
Farmbook Suite is a set of ICT tools for smallholder agroenterprise support comprised of three components: Map& Track, eLearning, and Business Planner. Map & Track, a GIS-based mapping and tracking system, assists in recording services delivered and management of farmer groups for value chain operations. The e-Learning component provides a delivery method of SMART Skills courses ( including topics that assist farmers to improve income and manage natural resources) to Field Agents who train farmer groups. The third component, Business Planner, functions to build business plans, assess production costs and profitability of products. The data collected may be collected offline and then synced to a database with a reporting system to generate information for farmers, field agents, market facilitators and buyers.
