The Library Department invites you to the 7th Library Open week scheduled from April 14- 16, 2021.

The Open Week will showcase the electronic information resources, services and facilities accessible to the University community. A key resource in particular is the remote access facility which allows students to access electronic reading material from anywhere at any time. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this is a convenient innovation.

The theme for this year's Open Week is “Open Access & Academic Integrity for a Knowledgeable Society.”

This year's event is geared towards the realization of the library’s mission to provide quality information services that will empower the University in carrying out its core activities of teaching, learning, research, and community services/consultancy.

Smart Farming Innovations for Small-Scale Producers Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks Smart Farming solutions that leverage digital technology innovations that have the potential to drive positive impact for smallscale producer (SSP) entrepreneurs delivered through bundled farmer services and enabled by scalable digital and data platforms. Solutions should address one or more challenges faced by smallscale crop and livestock producers in one or more areas of agricultural advisory, farm management decision support, input supply, finance, insurance, market access and linkages. Solutions should use human-centered design to elucidate the barriers that prevent SSPs from improving productivity, profitability and income – then propose Smart Farming solutions that can help elevate smallscale production entrepreneurs. Some of the fundamental challenges to address include: 1) low productivity driven by lack of access to information and services; climate change, weather variability and pest and disease outbreaks; 2) lack of access to tailored financial and insurance products, and 3) lack of access to and choice of market and offtake options. Additionally, solutions will need to consider barriers to adoption of digital farmer services, such as low language and digital literacy, the high relative cost of services and devices and, in particular, gender gaps and other potential downsides of digital solutions (e.g. the growing digital divide).

Awards: There are two grant types – Seed Grants and Scale-Up Grants – each with its own requirements. Applicants can only apply for one of these grant types must select which level for which they are applying (proposal should not be submitted for both grant types).
