📱 Managing a large agent network presents significant challenges, particularly when there is fragmented communication and manual reporting, which can lead to inefficiencies and hinder progress. These issues complicate coordination and limit the agents ability to serve farmers effectively. To address these challenges, and with support from the GSMA AgriTech Accelerator, Esoko is launching a new agents' app designed to streamline agent management processes. This innovative tool will enable real-time activity monitoring, enhance workflows through geo-fencing, and provide offline capabilities, ultimately boosting operational efficiency. With this app, Esoko aims to expand its reach and deliver essential services to even more farmers. 👉 Read more here: https://bit.ly/3Aisosz Commissioned by the Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ), on behalf of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. #i4ag

We publish research, deliver partnerships and provide technical support and industry best practice with the aim of everyone in the world being protected by an early warning system.

Really pleased the report highlights the Mobile Industry Pledge, showing our industry's commitment to this important initiative. The Early Warnings for All Initiative has the crucial aim of ensuring everyone in the world is protected by an early warning system. With 95% of the world’s population covered by a mobile network and 5.6 billion unique mobile subscribers, mobile is a crucial tool to reach people with life-saving information. The report also shares GSMA research on the use of cell broadcast for early warning systems and on how to make risk communications inclusive for all.
