SMART NKUNGANIRE SYSTEM


A project of RAB

Description

The Smart Nkunganire System (SNS) is a supply chain management system built by BK TecHouse Ltd in collaboration with Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB) to digitalize the end to end value chain of the Agro-Input Subsidy program.
SNS is a critical strategic tool for all stakeholders in the Agro-Input subsidy program as it significantly increases efficiency, productivity, transparency and bridges communication gaps within the Agro-Input subsidy program. SNS will also help remarkably raise financial inclusion, cashless transactions and green economy in the agriculture sector.
