abstract
The purpose of this research was to re-examine the factors influencing ICT adoption for agricultural information dissemination in Uganda. The study adopted the descriptive survey design of the ex-post facto type, a structured questionnaire that was subjected to face and content validity and reliability test, and analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency counts and percentages. Findings revealed that the foremost inhibiting factor influencing the adoption of ICT for agricultural information dissemination was the lack of training and re-trainings. The study recommended that training and re-training in the usage of ICT devices be conducted for the farmers from time to time such that they become conversant with all the required and necessary devices and able to take advantage of the entire alternative device as each device is uniquely difference, serving uniquely different purposes.
