Project

ICT tools to enhance the competitiveness of contract farming

Within the framework of the GIZ programme “Improving Framework Conditions for a Competitive Private and Financial Sector” (ProEcon), the German Cooperation GIZ supports a wide variety of companies in Mozambique, to successfully introduce ICT-based instruments in contract farming. Dr. Ralph Elsaesser was contracted for a period of 36 months to support selected companies by giving technical support in the selection or development of suitable tools, in contract negotiations with local IT companies and in the implementation of the projects. Local IT capacities get identified (Hackathons, surveys) and receive support in development of suitable business models for innovative ICT4Ag solutions which get developed for Agri-Businesses in Manica, Sofala, Zambezia and Nampula..
