 The Niger 2.0 Smart Phyllis project has set out to significantly improve the lives of people in rural Niger, achieving clear milestones in meeting sustainable development goals. Key Nigerian government agencies such as the Ministry of Health, Education and Agriculture have coordinated efforts in a so-called whole-of-government approach to achieve the long-term goals of the Smart Phyllis project. The National Agency for the Information Society, ANSI, is at the forefront. UN agencies such as the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, UNESCO and the International Telecommunication Union, under the one UN umbrella, along with NGOs such as the Digital Implied Alliance, Université Numerique Francophone Mondiale and Therides Om are assisting with their expertise in providing both hardware and digital applications. Innovative apps mounted on tablets as plug-and-play solutions have been prepared for distribution in rural communities to introduce and support e-education, e-health and e-agriculture.
