Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has donated two desktop computers to Blantyre ADD worth about K500,000 to ease challenges of data management the ADD is facing in its operations.
Speaking during the donation, FAO Country Resident Representative, Pinit Korsieporn, said proper data management was crucial in ensuring efficiency in agricultural issues.
“We’re glad to make a contribution in easing the problems that BLADD is facing in as far as data management is concerned,” said Korsieporn.
In his remarks, BLADD Programme Manager, Nelson Mataka, thanked the organization for the donation. Mataka said the computers will help them in improving management of information systems and increase efficiency.
“We’ve a lot of challenges in providing services because we do everything manually because of lack of computers. As ADD, we are very grateful and we would like to ask other well-wishers to emulate the good example set by FAO,” he said.
Blantyre and Phalombe district agricultural offices will share the two computers, according to Mataka.
