The Smart Village project aims to develop a mobile phone application to provide smallholder farmers access to skills, information, markets, financing, and energy. This will help eradicate poverty and increase food security for the estimated 2 billion small farmers worldwide who supply 80% of global food but lack modern resources. The application connects various agricultural partners through a private-public-community partnership model. The goals are to have 1.2 million users in Zimbabwe within 2 years and 6 million subscribers across 4 African countries within 5 years, generating revenue through subscriptions, advertising, and commissions. A core team of 4 will oversee application development, business development, finance, and community partnerships.

1. SMART VILLAGE PROJECT
Introduction
Smart Village is a mobile phone application that fosters to close the skills, information, markets, finance
and energy towards the sustainable development of smallholder and family farming. It capacitates people
to eradicate poverty, increase food, income security and climate change resilience.
Project Concept
We have over 2 billion poor people in the world and These poor people are largely smallholder and
family farmers, who owns small farms of up to 2 hectares. These means they need innovative ideas to
produce more and sustainably on their small pieces of land to feed the 9 billion people by 2050 since
these smallholder farmers currently supply 80% of the global food.This is the situation in all developing
countries and in Zimbabwe where we want to initially launch the project These farmers lack up-to-date
information, skills, sustainable finances, sustainable markets, and clean energy. The current solutions are
failing because they view these communities as charity cases, they don't guarantee circular economies, are
out of rich and complicated to the grassroot farmers, not participatory as well as expensive
Our application is as shown below and works under a Private-Public-Community Partnership business
model as shown below
We develop our application and a establish a PPPC with various partners who offers these services as
shown below and our application will be the platform between all the agricultural value chain players and
farmers.

2. Project Goals
Growth Plan
We are targeting to have 1.2 million users of our platform after two years in Zimbabwe and reached 6
million subscribers in at least 4 African countries in our first 5 years of operation. Our revenue streams to
finance our operations will be monthly subscriptions by users, marketing commissions and revenues from
organizations advertising on our application.
