I am Rubaiya Ahmad , working in the "Access to Information (A2I)" Programme of the Chief Adviser's Office, Bangladesh. As part of the e-Governance action plan of "Access to Information (A2I)", an "e-Krishi (e.Agriculture) Vision 2025" has been developed. The primary focus of this document is to explore the possible role of ICT in the enhancement and development of the Agriculture sector of Bangladesh. This document not only looks into the future and imagine our country's agriculture, but also recommends a priority action plan. A team from A2I, including myself, had been working closely with the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock and other agriculture stakeholders for the past few months to chalk out possible PPP models for a successful implementation of these priority actions. I have been diligently following the discussions of this forum for the past two weeks and feel compelled to share my experience and ideas with all of you. It is indeed a privilege to be a part of such an initiative. I wish this forum best of luck and hope to see increased participation of policy makers as well as rural stakeholders in the future.
