Despite being crucial in ensuring food security and enhancing poverty alleviation for rural households, agriculture and rural development(ARD) in Africa continues to lag behind other developing regions. Some of the challenges facing ARD in Africa include poor access to capital, poor infrastructure, inadequate market structure and low levels of public investment -all exacerbates by ineffective policymaking and implementation. Faced with these challenges, improving policymaking through effective knowledge management (KM) is undoubtedly imperative. This entails turning data and information into actionable knowledge, which is made available and accessible concerned stakeholders, especially policymakers. The advent of new forms of communication and data manipulation made possible by information and communication technologies (ICT) raises expectations concerning the ability of policymaking to be impr9ved through judicious use of km enabled by ICTs. ARD practitioners in Africa are aware of the important role of KM in policymaking; however, the actual use KM is constrained or diminished by interrelated factors encompassing the national context where politics can overshadow policymaking and there are limited capacities and low levels of investment in ICTs and KM... How then do we create a holistic synergy between, KM, ICT and policymaking to enhance a formidable agricultural sector as a country ? #RadioAsATool4Development #RadioUniverse #AgroscopeShow #twg #kristo #Agriculture #FeedingPassions

Let's get interactive! After #59Years how do you assess our Agricultural Sector? How has the statistical deficit affected the lives of the Ghanaian ? Obviously, the decline in production has dwindled the GPA and shrunk our economy.... What are your thoughts? Share them! #AgroscopeShow #RadioUniverse @universe1057 @RadioUniverse 105.7 @amafricanprince #twg

Sometimes lives can't be affected without affecting policies. The onus dawns upon us to be our own change as well. It's in view of the very thought and zeal to affect our well-being and society in entirety that we strive to do what we sometimes do. Earlier tonight on the Agroscope show, we assessed the STATE OF THE NATIONS 2016 (#SOTN2016) delivered by the president last week with core interest in the agricultural sector and most importantly what it means to its development. Secondly, students and activists with astute knowledge in mushroom production took turns to educate listeners on health, as well as the socio-economic importance of mushroom. We rest not until we can fully glare the finish line, neither will we sit aloof to stare in bewilderment. But with the little drop of greatness, we shall in our own way make an impact. #OluwaIsInvolved #AgroscopeShow #RadioUniverse #Agric #SugarJunior #Torsu #Angie #twg
