• Collect information to organize product logistics and reduce transportation and storage costs

• Develop management and logistics capacity to select the best transport/stocking price combination and expand its services

Project case analysis

•Many informal operators

•Missing reliable information about transportation and storage

•Isolated areas with no access to main roads – higher transport costs

Strengthen rural productivity and increase food security in the Kankan Region

Areas

Our approach

• Brainstorming: problems, ideas, ICT concepts and methods• Research on geographic information of the area, using OpenStreetMap and Carto• Needs-assessment: questionnaire to the organizations • Second brainstorming: identification of ICT platforms and tools• Developing an appropriate solution and methodology• Testing ICT Tools and adjusting it to project context: simulation of survey for

mobile phones in Magpi, simulation of logistics system with Commcare• Group Project document writing and submission

Along the process: Document sharing and review, skype conferences, mock

ups

Our Solution

…is a 3-step-solution:

1) Area mapping2) Stakeholders mapping and survey 3) Introduction of a new transport and storage logistics

system

Step 1 – Area Mapping

Mapping of the area: paved/unpaved roads, warehouses, marketplaces

Steps 2 – Stakeholder mapping and survey

The workplan…

Steps 2 – Stakeholder mapping and survey

And the integrated ICT: MAGPI

Growers

Declare information about the products that are ready

-Product -Quantity-Pick-up Point (region, province, pickup point) – choose from a comprehensive list

Transporter

Acquires the list of farmers and items to pickup

-Pick-up Point (region, province, pickup point)-Grower-Product-Quantity

CommCare App

Gathers information about growers and pickup items/points

Aggregates for each transporter the pre-defined pickup points with the products to pick-up

Step 3 – Introducing a new logistics system: the workflow…

Warehouse Agent / Financial Agent

Orient the products to transformation purposes or directly to the market

ThenEnters the market sales price for the products

Financial Agent

Ensures the completeness and accuracy of payments to the growers through their chosen means of payment

(Cash, Wire Transfer, …)

CommCare App

Calculates the capital to be paid to the growerCalculated the benefit marge + cost for the cooperativesubmit Report

Step 3 – introducing a new Logistics system

… and the integrated ICT : CommCare Supply

The advantages

• Decrease of transportation time and costs• Accurate delivery time estimations• Stocking points more efficient• More local markets and general business• Better traceability of products – and more value addition…

And in the long run…• Harmonization of transport operator rules and progressive improvement of

transport services (in the long term)• Easier access to markets and better income for farmers and growers• development of transport infrastructures and services
