Our Network

SITIA works cooperatively with grass-roots, non-governmental, development and international organizations to help them achieve access to and to disseminate pertinent agricultural information. This is done through the design, construction and use of information technologies.

SITIA provides information technology development services by identifying needs, developing projects and contracting with appropriate organizations to provide solutions. It does this through cooperation with pertinent partners. It also develops and provides human resources services in the use, design and implementation of information technology solutions with emphasis in the agricultural disciplines.

In particular:

1. SITIA adapts and applies modern information technology to meet the unique needs of agricultural scientists, extension agents and others involved with agriculture.
2. SITIA is effective in providing mechanisms for the transfer of appropriate information technology through training, assistance with the licensing of software and the identification and implementation of cost-effective computer technologies.
3. SITIA develops efficient and appropriate networking and Internet services for finding information relevant to institutional and country-level agriculture needs.
4. SITIA helps agricultural organizations assess information technology needs and plan and implement information technology projects in cost-effective and sustainable ways.
5. SITIA builds partnerships between information providers and information consumers and between commercial and non-commercial institutions regardless of their location.
