Question 2 (opens 19 Sept.)

Submitted by Marsha Castello Castello on Sat, 09/22/2012 - 01:18

 

Dear Members,

I work for The Department for International Development (DFID) and I am also a postgraduate student at Birkbeck, University of London, where I am completing a MSc. in International Business and Development. You can find out more about me here: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/marsha-castello/22/73/91a

I am extremely interested in the near ubiquity of mobile phones, the massive growth of mobile networks in developing countries and the huge potential this has in closing information gaps between the developing world and the developed world and thus closing the agricultural productivity gap between these two spheres.

To this end, I am currently writing my dissertation on the socio-economic impact of mobile phones on smallholder farmers. As Agricultural, Development and ICT professionals and/ or users of mobile agricultural information services I would like to invite you to participate in a very short online survey that should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NHMZTT5

All responses will remain anonymous and will be used for no other purpose than to either prove or disprove the hypothesis generated by my dissertation as arrived at by a comprehensive review of the literature on mobiles for development.

Please share with your networks,

You can also connect with me on twitter @mc37077442  or @m4dsurvey

Thank you

 

Kind regards
