Sustainability Model:
This project as we have identified has long term benefits and very sustainable as presently every farmer has access to the mobile phone and the agricultural sector in the area of growing crops through to harvesting will exist indefinitely and there is the need by the project to upgrade and coming-out with new innovative products and services to our target beneficiaries.
In-fact we think the long term sustainability of the is project is going to create an innovative ICT Graduates in Ghana and the software market for information gathering for IT Firms abroad who will like to tap into our project is also very bright.
The is the hunger and need for new farming products and services and we will use innovation through modern but very user friendly mobile networks and ICT tools to do this and we are confident of the longevity and sustainability of this important project.
Farmers in Ghana now are shifting from a policy of manually using their strenght to farm to mechanisation and moving from the traditional farming system to a more western morden methods as more younger and educated people are going into farming and this makes it attractive to work with this new breed of committed and middle level educated crop of farmers while maintaining a permanent and mobile staff to sustain the project and the other stakeholders who are major actors including farming groups and leaders in the catchment towns makes the project very sustainable.
Expertise needed:
1.We need project staff who have adequate skill in GIS that is Geographic Information Systems and other database management applications as this will enable us to crate accurate project database for our system.
2.The is also the real need of additional experts on the project with skill in Project Management and the Evaluation of projects and we consider this very useful.
3. We also need further expertise in intellectual property, patents and licensing of projects and in International Trade Law which we think is very important in the long term benefits of the project.
Project goals:
1.We are seeking to making this project a long term running profitable entity in the long term.
2.We are also working to attracting key invests in the Telecommunications, Business and the Agricultural sectors into Ghana through this project as we have identified a long term need in the sector.
3. We are also seeking to provide more user friendly but innovative solutions to the catchment farming communities and also providing an employment opportunities for fresh graduates in the areas of IT, Agriculture and Business in the long term.
Identified Obstacles:
1.Our most important challenge for the project is funding for the projects costs
2. We are also facing logistical challenges including the lack of computers, laptops, printers and scanners, storage devices and other materials.
3.The was the need for regular access to skilled personnel however we are resulted to using university students on internships and volunteer placements for this need.
