dc.descriptionThe 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.
