“B2Bpricenow.com is an e-marketplace in the Philippines. Through this on-line market place farmers, fisherfolk and small and medium enterprises can access market prices and trade products. This can be achieved either through their website or by cell phone. Split into two phases, the project began by obtaining content for the site from a variety of agricultural and fishery cooperatives and training them to both access and post products on the website. Through free technical support and hosting by Unisys, B2Bpricenow.com is able to offer its services for free. The second phase is focused on getting these groups connected to the internet and actual transactions occurring on-line.” [see http://www.sustainableicts.org/infodev/B2B.pdf
The Sustainable ICTs site offers quite a few case studies, of which this is perhaps the most related to what we are trying to do, and considerable guidance on embedding projects so that they stick.
