ToroDev understands ICT in its broadest context - going beyond modern computer software and equipment and networks that are often misunderstood in rural settings to have been designed for the elite urban populations - to also traditional and rural techniques of gathering and sharing information and knowledge resources for sustainable socio-economic and political developement. This could be efforts of rural information centres that use that use broadcasts - radio and televison, public address and group discussion initiatives. undertaking research using the internet and communicating the research findings to a rural community population on a local radio station is a good example of the combination of traditional and modern ICT tools. Harnessing the opportunities provided by the expansion on mobile telephony and community radios in sharing knowldege of best production practices, market research and promoting accountability to the local people by their leaders, are always emphasized by ToroDev.

With Increased national, regional and international demand for labour mobility, improved service provision, both traditional and non-traditional agricultural commodities, etc. has created more opportunities for skilled labour force, small and medium scale farmers, business men and women, even in rural areas to access better markets. Whereas access to better markets remain an important indicator for achieving the millennium Development Goals (MDGs), several other factors like poor ICT infrastructure especially in rural communities, marginalization of some population groups like the youth and rural women to access land, credit facilities for capital resources, reliable and relevant information services and resources, lack of innovation and entrepreneurship skills to be able to exploit the available resources well remain hindraces to development in the poorer areas of the world, especially in Africa, Asia and Latin America. In Uganda, heavy investment in ICT infrastructure, especially in rural communities is still required. This will promote and ease the establishment of agricultural value chains and creating market linkages for the agribusiness sub-sector, which is a source of livelihood for 80% of all rural Ugandans.
