Document ActionsCase StudiesThese case studies aims to share the vast body of knowledge, practical experiences and insights gained from ICT4D projects in the Asia-Pacific region. By making the project experiences and findings more accessible, these case studies will be useful references to policy makers who are planning or supporting ICT4D projects. New ICT4D projects can benefit from the case studies, avoiding common pitfalls and using strategies that have been demonstrated as successful. The case studies can also generate opportunities for networking, collaboration and implementation of new solutions.

Piloting Mobile ICT Access Models, Sri LankaThis pilot project provides a framework for extending community radio and multimedia to incorporate a mobile information and communications technology (ICT) unit that delivers cost-effective access to relevant information and knowledge that can help reduce poverty and isolation in remote communities of the developing world. The Kothmale Community Radio website will be extended by incorporating a web-based community information, communications and knowledge management system. In order to effectively address poverty, software tools provide a gateway allowing communities to access knowledge sources and services that are tailored to their own information and communication needs. Connecting Farmers and Buyers - AgriBazaar, MalaysiaThe AgriBazaar project is a joint effort between the Malaysian Institute of Microelectronic Systems (MIMOS) and the Agriculture Department of Malaysia to boost the Malaysian agriculture industry by enabling the various stakeholders (e.g. farmers, fishermen, agri-based food manufacturers, retailers, distributors, exporters and importers) to conduct their daily agriculture production trading online. AgriBazaar consists of a web portal as the front-end interface to the users and a Supply Chain Management (SCM) system as the back-end application. It allows the stakeholders to put up their products for sale as well as access market information and check on the latest prices. Through this project the government hopes to enhance the productivity of the local agriculture community and the competitiveness of the Malaysian agriculture industry while, at the same time, introduce the use of information and communications technology (ICT) and the Internet to the target rural agricultural communities. ICT-Based Telemedicine System for Primary Community Health Care in IndonesiaThis project involved the development of a pilot Internet and communication technology-based telemedicine system for primary community health care in urban and rural areas of Indonesia. The project used existing Internet technology to enhance PC-based medical stations and performed field-testing. The pilot telemedicine network consists of six stations for community health centres and a station for referral hospitals, a health office and test laboratory. The project includes software development and network integration. The resulting system can be expanded to cover larger number of stations. Anand Milk Collection Centres, Anand, Gujarat, IndiaThe Anand Milk Union Limited (AMUL) with more than 578,000 members was the first cooperative dairy to be established in Gujarat. It was established in 1956, and now AMUL collects 0.8 million litres of milk from 1,003 milk societies every day. AMUL introduced an electronic automatic milk collection system in 691 milk collection centres, which reduced the time required for collecting the milk. The system weighs the milk and measures its fat content at the time of delivery to the centre, and this has enabled immediate payments to the farmer, thereby eliminating the previously opaque procedures that often left the farmer short-changed and with little recourse for query. The project has been selected for the study because the technology tool has affected a huge population of women dairy farmers socially as well as economically. Document Actions |
