Abstract
Description
Sustaining digital services to smallholder farmers is a challenge as many of the digital applications (private and public) and services currently available are donor-funded and not supported with business models that can generate adequate revenue for sustaining and scaling them in the medium and longer term. The innovation explained here is the experiment to build a multi-stream B2B (business to business) model to sustain and scale an interactive voice response system (IVR) developed as a part of CGIAR Asian Mega-Deltas (AMD) (https://www.cgiar.org/initiative/asian-mega-deltas/ ) initiative and Transformation of Agrifood systems of south Asia–( TAFSSA) initiative (https://www.cgiar.org/initiative/transformingagrifood-systems-in-south-asia-tafssa/) as well as Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) (https://csisa.org/) project[ABTS(B1] . The IVR system delivers timely harvest warnings to mungbean farmers of Patuakhali and Barguna districts of Bangladesh. It currently reaches 10,000 out of 200,000 mung ean cultivators (estimated) in southern Bangladesh.
