What is ARDYIS?
ARDYIS is a framework of actions which aims to raise the capacity and opportunities of youth in agriculture through ICTs in ACP countries (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific).
Its key activities include the Youth in Agriculture Blog Competition (YoBloCo Awards) and the AgriHack Talent initiative.
The CTA’s ARDYIS Project and its partners are proud to announce that public evaluation is now open for the “Youth in Agriculture Blog Competition” (YoBloCo Awards)!
I first heard about The Technical Centre for Agriculture and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU (CTA ) when I joined Women of Uganda Network (WOUGNET ) as an information and Communications officer in 2008, through a project that CTA was funding known as “Enhancing Access to Agricultural Information ” in Northern Uganda. I had earlier on read a couple of books published by CTA from NARO-Kawanda but I had never clearly understood what CTA’s mandate was.
Do you have an idea? Maybe to provide cheap electricity generators to the people in your town? Or have you invented a machine that would test the African soil and point farmers in the right direction on what crops to plant? If the idea is good and you are struggling to get the project off the ground, a group of young people from Benin might have the solution.
It is with great pleasure that the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD ) Agency and the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU (CTA ) announce the winners of the Photo and Essay competitions that have been organized to celebrate NEPAD’s 10th Anniversary. This competition also falls in the framework of CTA activities on youth, women and ICTs.
