Integrated Water Resource Management & Fertilizer Recommendation System
Alliance Bioversity & CIAT / CGIAR · International Research Organisation
"Frank Dex Devs delivered a world-class geospatial platform that directly supports smallholder farmers. The commitment to understanding our mission was exceptional."
The Challenge
The AVENIR Project needed a digital platform to help smallholder farmers in Senegal make better decisions about water management and fertilizer use. Existing tools were either too generic, too technical for field use, or not adapted to local soil and crop conditions in the Sedhiou and Tambacounda regions.
Our Solution
We built two interconnected geospatial platforms: a Water Resource Management System that maps water sources, optimises water harvesting and retention, and guides farmers on usage by region : and a Fertilizer Recommendation System that analyses soil and crop data to deliver tailored, farm-level recommendations.
Results & Impact
- Deployed across Sedhiou and Tambacounda regions of Senegal
- Real-time geospatial data accessible to field researchers and agronomists
- Personalised recommendations for hundreds of smallholder farmers
- Part of the international AVENIR Project, funded by CGIAR
