WOUGNET’s resource centre was started in 2000 when the organisation began its activities, The resource centre was  mainly online with  just reports with no books. 10 years down the road, the resource centre has a variety of books ranging from Agriculture, gender and ICT, HIV/AIDS, Citizen journalism, general collection and many others.

Since WOUGNET’s  inception, the resource centre has not been automated, yet there is a big global transition technologically. Many organisations have resorted to digitizing their information material, this instigated WOUGNET to automate the resource centre to catch up with the changes.   Initially, users accessed the books and information through a manual process by checking direct  on the shelves and registering manually. This process has however been tiresome and time consuming.

In 2009, The Technical centre for Agricultural and Rural cooperations introduced CTA’s Internship and Young professional officers programmes.  The Centre offers the beneficiaries of the program the opportunity to acquire practical experience related to their  professional backgrounds and aspirations.
