BUY A BUNDLE TO STAY ONLINE


Gone are the days when one would first walk to the   internet café to access internet so as to interact with the rest of the world, with the increasing developments and innovations it’s now easier for the rural farmers to stay on line by buying an MTN bundle using their IDEOS phones which is basically data converted from the airtime. 

 
The E.Director orients the plant Doctors on how to load a bundle.
 at a refresher  training for the plant doctors and nurses this morning of 7th December, RIC-NET  oriented the participants from the project areas of kasese and Bundibugyo in the purchase of  data and finally  how  to acess internet the least being one day for as low as 500/=. In partnership with EFIL and plant wise through Busongora community library , RIC-NET has  promoted information sharing on control of plant diseases and pests, since the plant doctors/ community information facilitators have been given IDEOS phones, they go online to get information about remedies for  plant diseases and pests which information is disseminated to the farmers at the market days,
