Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetDigital Villages in Tajikistan 2024Recognizing the opportunities, but also the potential risks, offered by ICT for accelerating agricultural and rural development, in January 2021 FAO launched the Digital Villages Initiative (DVI) with the ambitious goal to convert at least 1000 villages around the world into Digital Villages. With DVI, FAO is supporting a digital rural transformation process to address agrifood systems’ challenges and improve the livelihoods and resilience of rural communities. The flyer details the activities that are ongoing as part of the digital Villages initiative in Tajikistan. Digital Villages enhance rural resilience and food security by providing farmers with digital tools for accessing inputs, market information, and alternative sales channels online. They deliver real-time data on prices, weather, and pests, enabling informed decisions on crop management and purchasing. These initiatives also simplify obtaining financial aid and insurance, with streamlined online applications and digital fund reception. This contributes to the development of the four betters and the achievement of SDG goals through localization facilitated through digitalization. The projects detailed in the flyer can be used for general information for other interested countries and regions.

In Uzbekistan's Ferghana Valley, the rural communities of Novkent and Yuksalish are at the forefront of a remarkable transformation into Digital Villages. This leaflet explores how these areas are harnessing technology to revolutionize agriculture and empower youth. The Digital Villages Initiative in Uzbekistan introduces smart sensors, assembled by trained local youth, to provide farmers with real-time data on greenhouse conditions via a Telegram bot, significantly improving agricultural decision-making. Additionally, it leverages digital platforms like Telegram and YouTube to disseminate essential agricultural knowledge and practices. The project also emphasizes youth empowerment, with training in social media management, IoT, and coding, culminating in a hackathon that fosters innovation and entrepreneurship. Living Labs further enhance this transformation, where community members collaborate with experts and stakeholders to co-create solutions to local challenges. This story is a compelling example of how digital technology can drive agricultural advancements, youth empowerment, and community-led innovation in rural settings, making it a valuable document for those interested in technology's role in rural development in Uzbekistan. -
