W4RA and Bolesian: AI4good

W4RA started a strategic partnership in AI4good, Bolesian’s expertise in artificial intelligence can contribute to the W4RA’s mission to support farmer-managed regreening activities specifically by enhancing information, communication and knowledge sharing for rural development. W4RA and Bolesian are working on various projects related to ICT4D: from detection of tree loss in rural Mali to digital storytelling in rural Ghana. To be continued...

W4RA and AOPP perform analysis of emerging Seed Value Chain in rural Mali

AOPP is a farmer organization in Mali, with more than 250 member farmer cooperatives, and a footprint in the whole of the country. VU and AOPP have worked together since 2011 to help improve the food security situation in Mali, in the effort to this with sustainable agro-ecological innovations. Essential is the information exchange in the valule chain, for a performing market.
Participative, collaborative information analysis workshops are done, to elicit the tacit knowledge which is necessary for selforganization of the network. This project started in February 2019 and will be carried out in the coming months.

The Web alliance for Regreening in Africa

Although the Internet offers a wealth of information, and the World Wide Web has become today's paradigm of information and knowledge sharing on the planet, it is still inaccessible to the illiterate and to most rural communities. Moreover, most websites offering information about Africa are written in English, French, and other European languages. Few, however, contain relevant content information in local African languages. Furthermore, the Web is only accessible with an Internet connection, which most rural households do not have, relying instead on radio and mobile phones for communication. These are all important obstacles to overcome. But we believe this is possible to achieve - due to today's advanced ICT technologies and the local and international technical-scientific expertise present in the W4RA collaboration program.
