Digital `inclusion is a key factor of economic and social progress and is high on the inclusive growth agenda of many African States. It has a proven impact on productivity and growth of many small-farms, helps create decent jobs, and reduction of financial vulnerability of farmers, especially in rural communities and far off remote locations. It also has an impact on rural women and the empowerment of young people, provides access to education and enhances local authority services to support the social inclusion of marginalised and vulnerable people. It also has the advantage of broadening access to capital through more adequate financial services for rural communities to boost savings, expand entrepreneurship, and enable more farmers to invest in themselves, education and health of their families.
