This briefing paper aims to help USAID missions and their implementing partners in sub-Saharan Africa use information and communications technology (ICT) more successfully—via sustainable and scalable approaches—to improve the impact of agriculture-related development initiatives, including Feed the Future projects.  It focuses on the application of mobile applications for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in agriculture, including a few examples of how projects are, or could be, using mobile-enabled M&E tools.
