La Coordinadora de integración de organizaciones economicas campesinas de Bolivia (CIOEC) proposes to apply Information and Comunication Technology (ICT) in order to visualize the produce of the producer organizations and contribute to the increased food security in Bolivia. IICD supported CIOEC in the past with an ICT project focussing on establishemnt of e-mail, information centres, improved communication between producers and CIOEC and a kind of MIS. This project came to an end in 2005, leaving many producers left with more ambitions that could not materialize. This proposal is a continuation of what was started in the past.

The objective is to develop and consolidate a Market Information Network System for OECAs making active use of ICT. This should enhance the production, enhance the income of producer organizations and farmers, enhance the competion and representation at national, departmental and local level.

Specific objectives:
1. Design a Business Information System
2. OECAs of 9 departments will use the BIS in order to contact potential buyers.


Espected results: It is expected that through the Business Information System in which supply and demand of agricultural products is visible the income of farmers for their procude will increase with 50% in the first year and 100% in the second year.
- 100 OECAs have their own e-mail
- intranet facility for internal communication established
- virtual library established, as well as a a information and documnetation centre for OECAs. This will enhance teh competition among OECAs and inprove the communication among OECAs.

Some of the main activities proposed for 2009-2010:
- implement an information and comunication system (2 systems established by a consultancy firm)
- Design and programming the BIS
- purchase 2 central 5 departemental equipments.
- Continuously feeding the data base
- training for OECA coordinators
- Training for board members
- digitizing the information centre/ digital library

Budget:
Total budget for year 1: € 25.000
Agriterra contribution year 1: € 13.600 (55%)
IICD contribution year 1: € 9.600 (38%)
CIOEC own contribution year 1: € 1800 (7%)

Budget has been elaborated for 1 year only.

M&E: IICD will closely monitor this project and visit CIOEC at reguar intervals during project implementation. The logframe has been well prepared by CIOEC

Sustainability/cost efficiency: CIOEC and IICD are the owners of the information that will be collectde during the project. The departemental represetations and OECAs beneficiaries are owner of teh infrastructure of the information and responsible to update the information. During the first year, the investments are relatively high. After year one only the operational costs need to be finnaced (about € 10.000 per year.) It is not clear who will provide these operational costs.
