A group of students from VU Amsterdam and UNIMAS, Sarawak, have carried out an ICT4D in the Field project in June 2018. The goal of this project was to build an information system that supports the work of banana contract farmers in rural Sarawak. To do so, the students did a context analysis followed by a needs assessment and a use case and requirements analysis. See the short clip, featuring Allard, Amir, Aron, Deva, Hameedat, Linh, or read their project report.
