the platform Youmna
The Youmna platform is a web and mobile platform that aims to facilitate access to agricultural products for direct consumption. Her main goal is to give to women in farming another way to sell their product easily and avoid crop waste. Our e-commerce platform appears as a supermarket where we will sell the products of rural women in order to increase their revenu and reduce poverty. We will also create a small transformation industry to make some local products like groundnut paste or chilli powder.

Share your story (your narrative)
My name is Aissata and I am web programmer from Côte D'Ivoire. I have been working for 3 years now in NGOs on women empowerment, girls education and computer skills learning. I believe that this project that is a section of my platform can be very helpful for women to have better revenue especially for their students ' studies.
Please provide any additional relevant information that you would like to share.
Women in rural area are working very hard for very few results. If we can create a program for them to be more organized and have visibility and also give to them a place of selling their products , we will change their life and also change the life of their children, reduce poverty and lack of food. For the first part of the project, we will choose women from a village near Bouna, a city in the north.
Your Final Proposal for challenge
yes
Thanks for sharing the overview of your idea!
Just purely based on the summary of your idea (first paragraph), it seems like your idea supports the concept of "housewives" and provides solution(s) to keep them home (regardless of the COVID-19 situation). On top of that, the idea seems to primarily target the betterment of farmers (in general) not primarily empower the women in your community (which should be the case- particularly for this challenge).
If my statements are incorrect, then I urge you to rephrase the sentences of your very first answer and provide specific details (demographics) of your target audience.
Otherwise, please remove this idea from this specific challenge and post it on the "Digital change-maker challenge".
Nonetheless, women should be not encouraged to stay home and cook.

Hello, looks good but what makes it unique from other platforms offering same service ? Is this a free service ? If not what's your business model ? Thanks
This is a great project. I think you should rejig your pitch. Remember this category is empowering women in your community. Talk about the friction caused by Covid19 which has made getting food products difficult. Now engage them dutifully.
It turns out this way: with the procurement of our agricultural farm, we will train women and girls in my community according to best farming practices. We will train them to produce their own foods, help them sell with our mobile and web technology we have built while at the comfort of their homes. Summarily, you them, help them sell by bridging the gap between buyers and sellers using your platform and source for finance should they need. Just replace farmers with women and girls in my community, you have it! Well done

Hello great inniative
So how is specifically helping farmers? To increase their money?
Or is it more for women in farming
You could make your pitch more specific and state out the points as clear as they can be
Hello Aïssata, Thanks for sharing with us your wonderful initiative. As far as I understand your idea is basically an e-commerce platform targeting housewives. Have you taken any initiatives through your platform to empower women yet?

Nevertheless, agritech business is the way to go it is breathing new life into agriculture by finding new ways for farmers, animal agriculturalists, and food supply managers to go about their business.
