Adding Content to Access
Since a large part of the population in Africa is dependent on farming, which currently is often low tech, low input, low yields, low income, high risk. Farmers often lack information about markets (e.g. prices, demand, quality requirements) and on how to improve their way of managing crops and produce. May I point you to Farmer 2 Farmer Learning, a project I nominated, as an example of contents that could be used in your project for the development of services that could be of use to large part of the African people. By requesting fees from these farmers you may even improve the sustainability of your initiative, at least at the local level. Please feel free to contact me if/when you find Farmer 2 Farmer Learning interesting for your project.
Friendly greetings
