- Answer: ICT drives economic growth in developing nations by enhancing agricultural productivity (e.g., precision farming tools) and improving education access (e.g., online learning platforms), leading to a skilled workforce and increased income.
- Description: In agriculture, ICT tools like soil sensors and weather apps help farmers optimize planting, increasing crop yields and profits—e.g., a farmer in Kenya using mobile apps to sell produce directly to markets. In education, platforms like Khan Academy provide free resources to rural students, building skills for better jobs. These advancements reduce poverty, boost GDP, and strengthen national economies, showing ICT’s transformative role.
