Question 4 (opens 30 September)

To start with, how much do our policy makers (politicians) understand about ICT and its effect on agriculture, especially in developing countries like my country Zambia. Do they understand that ICTs such as mobile phones can be used for other activities such as agriculture, other than for commucation purposes only? Until our politicians get a better understanding of this particular subject are we going to see policies that would promote the use of community media and ICTs and improve rural communication services. In my country Zambia for example, policies are needed to look at issues such as affordability of communication services by rural farmers, ICT infrastructure in rural areas, ICT illiteracy issues in rural areas and so on.
