Discussing with relevant Stakeholders in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, we designed a 4 modules action plan using data as key tool in the countries/region response: 1- Implementing emergency food stocks management module 2- Establishing predictive analytics models (with NEF) to help countries forecast and mitigate food systems disruptions 3- Landscaping and integrating modules as integral part of the country's agriculture/food management systems 4- Module extension to farmers/processors, including a market place for producers and consumers. It is therefore an emergency response plan, but yet, building up the long term sustainability of the Ag/Food management systems in the region.ICT Tools used: 1- Geodata for tagging food/agri resources 2- predictive analytics making use of supercomputing facilities available locally 3- User friendly apps designed for senior leaders, for producers, and for consumers.

Yes. The four modules in the project were designed in collaboration with the three target countries, but are most suitable and easily replicable in other parts of Africa, as confirmed through requests received from other countries. GODAN has partners in 127 countries, with trained trainers/champions ready to lead, and a very broad range of expertise readily available.
Yes. The modules will be implemented within the ranks of the contributing units (especially Governments) therefore they will be fully integrated in the day to day operations during and beyond the project.
As this project requires the active participation of governments to implement the plan, this project thus promotes the WSIS values in the community - C1. The role of governments and all stakeholders in the promotion of ICTs for development.
