Eco-Efficient Agriculture for the Poor
Methodology
Geographical analysis of existing seed outlets
Recommendation of new distribution points
Dissemination of location-based informationon seed outlets
Assessment of mobile devices in supporting
awareness of improved seed distributors andreceipt of reciprocal performance information

Feasibility study conducted by Grameen
Foundations Applab
Three main issues: inclusivity, sustainability,
and effectiveness
Desk research and a field component in
western Kenya with TL2 partners

Mobile Phone Platform: inclusivity
Some evidence for exclusion due to
insufficient access to mobile phones
Phone ownership is at the range of 35%
For every 10 phones seven are owned by men
and only three by women
Older and cheaper handsets, which are
common in the study area, limit the types of
information services that can be considered

Mobile Phone Platform: sustainability
Sustainability depends on:
Incentives for information collection by
intermediaries and end users
Business model and revenue generation
approach used
Models depend substantially on the
information that is communicated and the
number of users

Mobile Phone Platform: effectiveness
Existing technology is sufficient to effectively
transmit and receive bean-related information
Effectiveness would be increased if GPS-
enabled or other smart phones were more
widely available although this might have
unintended negative effects on inclusivity

Follow impact pathway
Extend to other legumes and countries Possibilities exist within TL2 phase 2
