1 ICT and Zambia: Two Cases of Exploration By Raja H. R. Bobbili & Marta Luczynska Media, Education and Market Place Final Project Presentation 1
2 ICT in Developing Societies Use of ICT is rare in developing countries. However, when used, it usually have a very large effect. Examples of successful ICT use: e- Choupal (India), HealthNet (Uganda), Grameen Telephone (Bangladesh), Voxivia (Kosovo). 2
3 Zambian ICT Capabilities Zambia - Teledensity (Amongst the highest in sub-saharan Africa) Images removed due to copyright reasons. 3
4 But Zambian ICT Costs Image removed due to copyright reasons. 4
5 What can we say? ICT is Rare in Zambia, but studies have shown that it is growing very rapidly. ICT still remains very expensive Companies discouraged from investing in ICT; investors are mostly foreigners (South Africa, UK, USA). Therefore, ICT access is not available to those at the Bottom of the Pyramid. 5
6 In The Presentation Two case studies of spectacular success 1. Radio Farm Forum (RFF) 2.Inter-African Network for Human Rights (Afronet) 6
7 The Radio Farm Forum (RFF) Background Impact Analysis Beneficiary Feedback Lessons Learned Analysis Factors Promoting Program Development Implementation Challenges Future Outlook Conclusions and Recommendations 7
8 RFF Background Goal: Sustainable economic development Problem: Lack of effective means of agricultural information dissemination Solution: Radio Farm Forum Produced by NAIS 2 Main Components 30-minute radio program Radio listening groups 8
9 RFF Impact Analysis Partnerships Educational and Research Institutions Ministry of Community Development and Social Services Government of the Republic of Zambia Capacity Building Feedback Large-scale Information Dissemination Technology Radio 9
10 RFF Beneficiary Feedback Extensive amount of positive feedback RFF has positively changed the lives and behaviors of rural farmers Mixed farming Soil conservation Using donkey as draught animal Growing drought-resistant crops And many more 10
11 RFF Lessons Learned Analysis: Factors Promoting Development Use of the Radio Overcomes communication barriers Radio Listening Groups Provide sense of ownership Feedback Partnerships 11
12 RFF Lessons Learned Analysis: Implementation Challenges Technical Unavailability of radio batteries and radio repairmen Poor radio reception Moral/Ethical Offensive and inappropriate topics Educational/Training Inadequate training of RFF broadcasters and technicians Illiteracy of radio listeners (i.e. rural farmers) Miscellaneous Competition for air time No provision for replaying radio programs 12
13 RFF Lessons Learned Analysis: Problems Future Outlook Inadequate funding Agricultural officers being laid off Unfortunate Effects Not enough experienced staff to produce programs Not enough funding for program continuation 13
14 RFF Conclusions Program has provided an effective means of disseminating agricultural information Keys to success thus far Partnerships Radio Technology Radio Listening Groups Key to future success Funding Long-term Sustainability Plan 14
15 Inter-African Network for Human Rights and Development (Afronet) To create a common network for human rights activities and organizations all over Africa. To gather and disseminate information on the enhancement of human rights in Africa. To challenge corruption by initiating programs of empowerment and instituting accountability at all levels of the African society. To enable African NGO s to be heard in front of international bodies, institutions and gatherings devoted to human rights. 15
16 In order to achieve these goals Afronet Incurred massive communication costs (of over 2.5 billion kwacha or 500,000 dollars). Image removed due to copyright reasons. 16
17 Solution ICT Images removed due to copyright reasons. Website designed to assist international clients Communication with Asian countries became much easier Provided opportunities for volunteers to come in and work. Over 2 million hits per month Local clientele not affected much 17
18 Further Enhancement of ICT Local Area Network PCs and Internal Networks (US AID) Image removed due to copyright reasons. 18
19 Not so easy Images removed due to copyright reasons. Yuyo Nachali-Kambikambi most people like hard copy instead of a website". There is no need for cost reduction, since the publication and dissemination of our quarterly magazines are funded anyway and there is no subscription fee. Afronet is the most famous human rights organization in Southern Africa now, and I suppose that is because of the website as well". 19
20 Note so Easy (II) Web-site not updated regularly Government Intervention Bandwidth limitations Image removed due to copyright reasons. 20
21 Summary ICT Implementation has been effective in reducing costs for Afronet. Cost/Year 39,000 Returns/Year 163,000 ICT has reached the BOP; implemented by students at UNZA, used by clients worldwide. While benefits are many, implementation difficulties are hard to overcome. Institutional rigidities, the lack of acceptance of new non-traditional methods are often hard to institute immediately. 21
22 What is needed to successfully implement an ICT-related project in Zambia? Choose technology wisely Form effective partnerships Create sense of involvement and empowerment for target groups Have project ideas come from within Secure adequate funding Have a plan for expansion and longterm sustainability 22
