The
Federal Government (FGoN), through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and
Rural Development (FMARD) aims to establish a sustainable agricultural sector
in Nigeria that raises incomes of the rural population whilst underpinning the
national economy.
The
concept of Innovative Collabration that is, Web 2.0 for development, in short
Web2forDev, provides the skills for staff to achieve their roles in the optimal
development of the Nigeria agricultural sector. It is a way of employing web services, in
order to improve information sharing and collaborative production of content in
the context of development work.
In this context, actors in development can easily relate to other stakeholders,
have selective access to information, produce and publish their own content and
redistribute pieces of content released by others.
The
ministry seeks to strengthen its staff capacity in developing and maintaining
the ministry’s online presence and our relationship with the Nigerian public,
in playing effective role in influencing policy development processes, and in
supporting the development of effective value chains.
The
CTA in their mission to advance food and nutritional security and increase
prosperity, through this training is empowering development professionals in
the ministry to recognize the potential of web 2.0 and social media and make
innovative use of the tools to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the
ministry’s teams and enhance the institutional image of the ministry.
