With the aim of stepping up its efforts to use technology as a tool to improve farmer livelihoods, Rwanda Development Board (RDB) introduced the e-soko project. This World Bank funded project was meant to utilize new technologies to increase access to real time agricultural commodity market price information.
Local farmers now get information about market prices for agricultural produce in different markets for better trading information and decision making through their mobile phones. All the farmer need to do is to key in the product codes and market codes in their mobile phones to instantly access market information in real time.
It has not stopped there, in a bid to continue connecting the Rural Rwanda to the global village, Rwanda Telecenter Network has initiated a project where farmers are set to enjoy the benefits of social media through Web 2.0 technologies, a web application that facilitate participatory information sharing, allowing the users to collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue.

The Rwanda Telecenter Network (RTN) project intends to change the usual physical markets to online markets that will be managed by the farmers themselves. This is a good move which is also seen as a way of tackling illiteracy within farmers hence improving their business. This in the long run will boost Rwanda's economy as the Agriculture sector is the economy's backbone seeing as agriculture employs 80 per cent of households in the country.

According to Paul Burera, the Executive Director of Rwandan Tele-center, lack of local content is undermining current strides in building ICT infrastructure and making the county an ICT hub in the region adding that people have been depending on contents from abroad.

Rwanda Telecenter has collaborated with the Ministry of Agriculture to carry out web 2.0 training to help promote the technology in the rural Rwanda. Plans to set up 1,000 telecentres countrywide which will help rural areas access services ranging from ICT, banking, government services among others are under way.
