Background

CTI Uganda, in collaboration with the Government of Uganda and the Ministry of Agriculture, launched an initiative to digitally empower farmers across the country. However, there was no existing technological infrastructure suited to Uganda’s unique agricultural ecosystem—until Nectar stepped in.

Challenges

Lack of a unified platform to connect and monitor farmer activities

Need for real-time agricultural assistance and process tracking

Inability to offer policy-linked services and government scheme integration

Demand for a digital wallet to handle financial transactions for inputs and subsidies

Solutions Provided

We designed and implemented an IoT-based Agro Life Connection platform to bridge the gap between farmers and government services, offering real-time connectivity and process automation. Our contributions included:

Single Push Call Service

Enabled direct communication and alerts for agricultural tasks

Soil Testing & Fertilizer Recommendations

Supported scientific decision-making at farm level

 

Digital Wallet Integration

Allowed transactions for subsidies, inputs, and government credits

 

Government Policy Integration

Seamlessly linked policies and farmer eligibility into the app

This project became a milestone in Uganda’s digital agriculture journey—boosting efficiency, transparency, and farmer empowerment through technology.
