During this webinar, insights will be shared on the strong institutional, policy and programmatic developments that are making Kenya one of the frontrunners on agricultural digitalization across the continent and how digital technologies can provide some immediate and longer-term answers to securing food supplies in Africa’s urban areas in the context of COVID- 19.

Discussions will be based on The Malabo Montpellier Panel’s report —Byte by Byte: Policy Innovation for Transforming Africa’s Food System with Digital Technologies–that summarizes key findings of a systematic analysis of what seven African countries at the forefront of progress on digitalization of the agriculture sector have done right.  The report analyzes which institutional and policy innovations were implemented and what actions were taken by the private sector and agtech start-ups to increase the development and use of digital tools and services in the agriculture value chain.
