From the introduction:

Digital Transformation is underway in Uganda, as shown by the increasing number of people using smartphones, and thereby accessing digital content and services. This is having a profound positive effect on the socio-economic development of the country. (...) The paper reviews the recent literature on the current situation of agriculture in Uganda as well as the impact of corresponding technologies on the rural sector. Furthermore, the paper will highlight some of the challenges and barriers within the agriculture sector which are faced by the country and, especially, by farmers in the poorer regions. Under the auspices of the Transcultural Research project, this paper also introduces a research framework for describing the current situation and the main benefits of Digital Transformation in Uganda but also in rural areas, using the NGO “Hope Development Initiative” and the corresponding community, as a sample. In order to analyze these topics, a qualitative case study has been conducted and will be presented in the research design. The questions will be approached by addressing the understanding of Digital Transformation, the current situation of agriculture in Uganda, the (potential) impact of Digital Transformation on agriculture and the people working in the sector and finally, its challenges in term of smallholder agriculture. This is followed by academic and practical implications and a conclusion.
