Abstract
Farm Radio Trust (FRT) will carry out a three-year research study starting in 2018 to find out how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) impacts on agricultural productivity in Malawi. Alongside providing evidence about the effects of ICT on agricultural development in Malawi, the research aims to provide quicker ways of relaying messages to farmers, such as through cell phone technology. Findings of this study will feed ongoing development of a National Agriculture Extension Strategy. The article reviews the purposes of the study.
