Centralized information of agricultural resources and prices collected and accessible by mobile at national or regional level
Challenges Entered:
The project will allow people (not only literate) in developping countries to efficiently use mobile phones to improve their businesses and their lives. Some mandated people will permanently populate agricultural information to a centralized system where all people using mobile phones combining voice, text and images can access independently of their level of literacy.
About my project Â
More than 70% of the population in many developing is illiterate and cannot read and write and they just use the basic functions of mobile terminal which became very popular these recent years. Only voice messaging system using local content (language) can be widely adopted and easily used.Â
Expected impact
Increase permament  access to agricultural information independently from geographycal location and time.  Farmers will have update to date information for selling or buying even literate or not.
Who
Farmers, peasants, traders, mobile operators
What
Effective usage of mobile phone to improve accessibility to agricultural information in order to strenghen local business (rural people and women).
When
As soon as possible
Where
National , regional or global
Why
 Reduce the gap of mobile efficient usage between literate and illiterate people : close the mobile efficient usage divide.
In addition: I implemented a registration system for a TV competition (FASOACADEMY) through SMS system connected to a web database where candidate get their ID number generated by the SMS registration serveur avoiding candidate to travel from remote and rural area to the cities just for the registration process.Â
