IICD Interview with Mr Emmanuel Zimba,Board member of Mapronet for the Volta Region in Ho (Ghana)

IICD has supported the project since 2004. Market Access Promotion Network (Mapronet) supports its affiliated small and medium sized cooperatives with information and capacity building. This project establishes 3 basic business information centres. In these centres, farmers can access market information and other relevant agricultural information. Through the Tradenet platform (a trading platform using internet and mobile phones) members of Mapronetwould broaden their scope of collecting and disseminating market information for their beneficiaries. Members in the Volta Region will be the first to register on Tradenet. During the pilot phase, this system will be implemented together with three member organisations that represent 150 small scale farmers.
