Describe your project :
Agriculture stands as the main source of income in the East Region of Cameroon but, a lot of farmers face challenges of very low output due to outdated farming techniques, pest and diseases and post-harvest losses which is as a result of farmers having limits access to recent qualified agricultural information and trainings. The project is coming in to improve agricultural productivity and farmer income in the East Region of Cameroon by providing accessible, mobile-based agricultural extension services and trainings that will boost the output and income level of farmers. We are going to create a mobile app that will function even when offline and train people from communities on how to use and manage the app. For this to happen, we will partner with local mobile network providers like Orange / MTN Cameroon to offer affordable data packages for farmers using our app, as well as collaborate with the Ministry of Agriculture in Cameroon to ensure its alignment with regional agricultural development plans. We will also Utilize local media channels to raise awareness and encourage farmers to adopt our app. To measure the success of our project, we will track the number of app downloads and active users, monitor changes in agricultural yields and farmer income as well as conduct surveys to assess farmers satisfaction with the app and its impact on their livelihoods. At the end of this project, there will be an increase agricultural productivity and farm incomes in the East Region.
