Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?
The biggest obstacle in achieving the MDGs in Nigeria is the poor access to information by rural poor women engaged in agricultural activities. With no electricity in their villages, no access to televisions, no effective mobile telephony system and the collapse of agricultural extension services, the rural poor women have been cut off by the information reception system. Secondly, poor women that survives through farming lacks adequate and appropriate information that will boost their agricultural productivity and income as a result of the production of all valuable information in national or international languages.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
To reach rural poor women engaged in farming activities living in remote Ogun State South-Western Nigeria with sustainable agricultural, environmental management skills and daily market information derived from internet sources and established networks in the local Yoruba Language. The Women Rural radio is specifically designed for farming women communities. It shall elaborate and present programmes in the local languages; this will enable the women farmers acquire knowledge, sustainable and modern agricultural and farming techniques. The radio shall give them access and linkage to national and international markets, to finance and micro credit facilities for their agricultural production and sustainability, and access to a Question and Answer service which will deal with pertinent questions concerning climate/agricultural production.
Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.
The Women Rural Radio tackles rural poverty and hunger by designing and broadcasting daily programs in the local Yoruba language across local radio stations. The radio enables women farmers to acquire contemporary agricultural and environmental management techniques, to receive daily market information, to advertise their farm products and to learn business skills. The women utilize daily broadcast information to decide what, when, how and for whom to produce in the long term boosting their agricultural yields and household income. The radio is interactive and invites feedback from listeners through the deployment of interactive radio (AIR) mobile devices. This is a simple communications system intended to link those off the cellular and electrical grid with the rural radio. AIR are small, rugged, solar-powered mobile devices that record user voice input, and then asynchronously forward voice feedback to the radio station via an ad-hoc delay-tolerant network. Due to the low power footprint, ease of use, and use of wireless connectivity between devices, AIR does not incur any cost to the user. The project increases knowledge sharing and the rate of development through community involvement.

Women Rural Radio lives firmly in the center of the burgeoning communication sector, where the power of information technology is leveraged to improve the quality of and access to information for women in the remote rural area. There are other organizations working on aspects of the information delivery system, but no one is particularly focused on reaching the local indigenous women especially smallholder women farmers with vital information on climate change/agricultural production and how to reduce GHG emissions in the local language they will understand.

The Women Rural Radio created in 2011 to inform, educate and improve the capacity of 150,000 small women farmer listeners. 61% of the present listeners’ livelihood has been changed because household income has improved. Women farmers have witnessed 60% increase in output per acre of sorghum, maize, cassava, yam and vegetable farms. Among other achievements women farmers have increased their household income from $2 to $2.50 per day, the volume of quintiles/output per acre of farmland and their knowledge of the exportation process in order to connect with the international market. Education has reduced soil degradation and improved the conservation of wood resources. Over 300 hectares of rainforest have been restored.

Création de l'organisation : nous voulons tout savoir sur votre déclic. Expliquez-nous oú et quand les fondateurs se sont rendu compte que cette solution possédait un véritable potentiel pour changer le monde.
I drew this idea because of my desire to make a lasting social change in the lives of women across Nigeria. I realized during my projects with various communities reflecting on my personal life route that poverty is a result of lack of information. When people are empowered with appropriate information that will make their livelihood secure, they attain secure income. To me the quest to empower women technologically starts with information empowerment. In 2011 I started this project to improve availability and access to relevant, adequate, accurate, timely and well adapted information on priority information in agriculture and environmental conservation utilizing rural radio to curtail the pitfall inherent in the sector.

Quels sont vos différents partenariats ?
We receive important daily, weekly and monthly market information and commodity prices from NGOs, Businesses and governmental organizations. We also receive radio broadcast scripts which we subsequently translate into Yoruba Language for broadcasts. We have received from these partners valuable information on where small women farmers can obtain much needed agricultural input materials in the form of seeds and low cost irrigation devices.
