Project Initiative
The AICCRA Ethiopia project through its implementing center, the Alliance of Bioversity and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), went through different engagements with national partners, particularly with the Ministry of Agriculture, to map key actors/data holders, assess the nature of data and meta-data of each institute, and analyze the accessibility of those data. The Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research in Africa (AICCRA) program is supporting the development of an integrated ag-data hub in Ethiopia.
The program is considering to co-develop a dedicated, and publicly owned and operated - one-stop shopping national ag-data hub. Further, to make sure that the development of the Ag datahub system aligns with the government plan, a high-level discussion was held with key personnel in the Ministry. ACATECH Technology was assigned to lead the consortium and development of the data hub for Ethiopia.
Driving AgDataHub to Success
Alliance Biodiversity & CIAT is the driving force behind AgDataHub, working in tandem with the development team to cultivate a robust platform. As implementers, we bridge the gap between technology and agriculture, ensuring the system is not only functional but effective in empowering farmers. Alliance Biodiversity & CIAT's commitment to validation guarantees a platform that delivers accurate, reliable, and actionable insights.
As an implementer, Alliance Biodiversity & CIAT brings a wealth of knowledge about local agricultural practices and challenges. Their contributions have been instrumental in ensuring that AgDataHub is a tool that farmers can truly benefit from. We are confident that their dedication to sustainable agriculture and their commitment to empowering communities will contribute significantly to the project'ssuccess.

How the Datahub Works
A data hub is essentially a centralized platform that acts as a bridge between various data sources and consumers. It aggregates data from different systems, cleanses, transforms, and stores it in a standardized format. This consolidated data can then be accessed and utilized by various stakeholders within an organization. The program is considering to co-develop a dedicated, and publicly owned and operated - one-stop shopping national ag-data hub.
