Empowering Agriculture’s Future Innovators
AgriConnect is a US$14.7 million proof-of-concept partnership between theSoftTribe (working with 4 consortium partners) and the Mastercard Foundation to provide 10,000 students in 10 tertiary institutions (4 universities, 6 technical and vocational education and training [TVET] institutions) in Ghana with laptops including connectivity and supplemental courses (digital literacy, value chain development, and agribusiness and entrepreneurship).A key part of AgriConnect is the AgriConnect Bespoke Learning Platform - the central hub for the main activities that are undertaken as part of the AgriConnect Programme.The AgriConnect bespoke learning platform has been designed to support core programme functions such as student registration, evaluation, distribution of laptops and connectivity devices, access to the supplemental course content developed under the programme, access to assessments, system security, reporting and monitoring and evaluation of student progress. The main thrust of the digital platform has been to essentially automate as many of the programme functions, processes, and objectives as possible to provide comprehensive and objective implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
