Abstract
ICT and e-learning play a major role in the development and economic growth of African countries in the future the agricultural sector being the backbone. On the other hand rural poverty is still a burning issue of many poor and underprivileged rural farmers, especially of young female farmers.
Education and lifelong learning, through means of ICT in respective areas will be key in reaching the countries development goals and reducing rural poverty and food and nutrition insecurity. ICT plays a vital role in dissemination of knowledge and exchange of information, which in turn can be used to develop demand-driven research and technologies and increase technology adotion.
