This year’s annual report highlights some of our research outcomes, success stories, and impact on promoting digital innovations in smallholder farming systems in Africa with a view to further advance citizen science towards ensuring an inclusive participation of wide range of actors, especially the non-literate farmers in climate-smart agriculture. The aims are to: improve advisory services in smallholder farming; enhance the effectiveness of extension workers; reduce the impact of climate change in agriculture; and to enhance productivity and income while addressing the interconnected problems of climate change and rural poverty in Africa. The innovations brought about increased participation and engagement of a wide range actors across different sectors.
We wish to express our profound gratitude to all partners and funders who contributed immensely to the realization of this year’s achievements.
