Hi All I work for SANGONeT -a 22 year old NGO focusing on ICTs in the develoment sector, and based in Johannesburg South Africa. Until recently I was the ICT services Manager. I have just been appointed the project manager of an m-agriculture project to be implemented in Zambia and East Africa. We will be working with existing Agricultural support programmes in horticulture and dairy, designing and implementing mobile solutions that aim to increase the efficiency of the programmes, and ultimately to raise incomes of small-holder farmers. Figuring out whether increased use of mobile tech is likely have a bias for or against increased participation of women farmers is a key part of the project, and something we're designing for right now. Yours Matthew
