The Information and Communication Technologies for Agriculture e-Sourcebook is being designed as an epublication to maximize its outreach, with the intent of maintaining it as a “living” updatable document following its release in autumn 2011. The e-Sourcebook will be featured on a new Web site (currently under construction) at www.ICTinAgriculture.org.

Given the quickly evolving ICT environment, the World Bank and its partners will build on-going collaborations with other organizations, the private sector, and subject matter experts to expand and update the e-Sourcebook—by means of the website—as new knowledge becomes available. The e-Sourcebook is operational in nature, with practical examples and case studies from all five regions where the World Bank works. It aims to provide both technical and policy guidance to a diverse group of development practitioners and decision makers. The e-Sourcebook module “ICT in Land Administration and Management” was authored by Robin McLaren and Victoria Stanley.
