The outreach findings
Meetings and workshops involving more than
80 organizations in West and East Africa
Key challenges to effectively reach small
holder farmers
Accessibility to data and technology: overcoming
technical, political, cultural and cost constraints
Enabling the field role: dissemination and collection, two-
way data flow
Impact can be enhanced by adding location
context to inform key decisions

Quick Wins
G-roads: Roads Data
Development in Ethiopia(IMMAP, RCMRD, CIESIN)
Mapping of market
access (roads) and
agriculture points of
interest Initial focus on Ethiopia
Using customized
Cybertracker/GPS
All roads data collected
are open and freely
available
