OUR IMPACT

Goals

To ensure that farmers (women and men) improve their dryland farming technologies and farm management by making use of ICT enabled agricultural extension services

Objectives

The project will support women and men farmers to improve dryland farming technologies and farm management through the establishment of an SMS on demand /USSD based system for input prices and information on proven technologies.

Problems and Needs Analysis

Previous ICARDA research showed 87% of recipients find the messages useful and 84% would like to receive more technical and market information, in particular market prices. The farmers also expressed that while they like to receive information (by SMS), they would also like to have the opportunity to request information themselves.

Intervention Strategy(ies)

To put emphasis on gender aspects in e-learning for the extension service To carry out a pilot phase (piloting ICT tools for smallholder farmers and e-learnina for agricultural extension agents
