Resumen
Descripción
The January 2010 earthquake that
devastated Haiti directly affected the infrastructure and
personnel of the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources
and Rural Development (Ministere de l'Agriculture des
Ressources Naturelles et du Developpement Rural, or MARNDR).
It weakened the ministry's capacity to lead the
economic recovery and food security improvements of the
country, and set back research, innovation, and extension
systems in the agricultural sector. In addition, most of the
existing information systems and a vast number of electronic
and hardcopy documents, including reports, studies, files,
statistics, maps, and accounting data, were destroyed. This
was due, in part, to the sheer physical destruction of the
earthquake but also because MARNDR lacked a centralized
archiving system. This smart lesson describes the successful
introduction of cloud computing technology to the
MARNDR's information and communications technology
(ICT) system as the primary method to manage knowledge and
preserve documents for the agricultural sector in Haiti.
