Zimbabwe, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), is establishing digital hubs in Bikita and Mhondoro-Ngezi districts under the Fostering Digital Villages Through Innovative Advisory and Profitable Market Services in Africa (FDiVi) project.

The hubs will serve over 5,000 residents, offering affordable internet access, digital skills training, and tools to improve efficiency across the agricultural value chain.

The initiative will empower smallholder farmers, agro-dealers, processors, and extension officers, particularly women and youth, to participate in the digital economy. It is expected to close the digital divide, enhance rural livelihoods, and foster a more inclusive agricultural sector in Zimbabwe.
