Information and Communication Technology (ICT) could play a pivotal role in the dissemination of agricultural technologies in Eastern Africa. In this study, we analyse the role of agricultural ICT and services in driving adoption of better agricultural technologies and practices by smallholder farmers in the Teso region of Ugandan. In turn, we analyse how adoption of ICT could impact on livelihoods, food security, and market opportunities. We implemented a Randomised Control Trial (RCT) in which mobile phones were randomly pro-vided for basic ICT training and access to information about good agricultural practices, nutrition se-curity and market access via SMS services to a sample of farmers. Woman accounted for 60% of the sample. Preliminary results suggests that the provisions of mobile phone, if coupled with training on how to access relevant information have a positive impact on the livelihood status of the farmers. Women farmers seem to have a higher positive impact of the combined program of providing mobile phones plus training opportunities.
