EU Funded UN Joint STREIT Programme

The partners include; provincial divisions of Agriculture and Livestock; ICT, West Sepik Investment Limited; Commerce; Cocoa Board; Fisheries Authority, Agriculture and Quarantine Inspection Authority.

The roll out of this E-Agriculture Strategy and Action Plan provides a vision and plan to address existing challenges in the access to information resources, networks, digital services and platforms that are critical to support policy decisions and innovative services.

In its mission to bring financial services closer to rural communities, the programme also brought along MiBank officers to open bank accounts and banking cards for farmers, including some mothers and girls.

This will enable farmers to get access to an expanded range of tailored and inclusive banking systems, including loans, payment products, and saving services.
