Many diverse, small scale e-Agriculture applications, unable to communicate and share data
Barriers to scale up to support a larger user base
Difficult for decision makers to understand the current agriculture situation, for policy and planning
Duplication of efforts, leading to waste and inability to integrate solutions
 Guidance for national strategy Development 3

4. Why a national strategy
Force to consider ICT as a strategic tool to transform/reform the Agriculture sector
Set the vision of what changes should be achieved by e-Agriculture
Used as an overarching framework to guide all e-Agriculture efforts in the country and align stakeholders
Build country enabling environment
Ensure government leadership and ownership

5. Why a national strategy
Ensure short versus long term balance
Communicaton tool for stakeholders, funding agencies, partners, etc.
Prioritize and maximize return on (limited) investments
Move to national deployments rather than pilots
Many issues (standards, Legislations, evidence, infrastructure, capacity building, etc.) can be better dealt with at national level
