New App! Launch of VeggieTap for Africa
Following the success of the VeggieTap vegetable farming app in Myanmar and the Philippines, we are proudly launching Veggie Tap for Africa, in 6 popular languages.
Suitable for commercial farmers and home gardeners, this free, easy-to-navigate app for learning basic and advanced vegetable growing techniques is now available for farmers on the African continent.
About VeggieTap for Africa
VeggieTap for Africa is powered by SkillEd and is available in Amharic, Hausa, and Swahili, as well as English, French, and Portuguese. The app can be found in the Google Play Store, and courses can be shared from user to user via Bluetooth or other file transfer tools.
VeggieTap for Africa covers all the topics farmers need to know to achieve a successful and profitable harvest. The app can be used offline by simply transferring it from one device to another, although users will need an internet connection to receive a certificate of completion. The app is also linked to learning videos on the EWS-KT YouTube channel and to learning materials on the EWS-KT GrowHow learning site.
