Dear Rashid,
The assessment was conducted by FAO Somalia, and selection of the partners was done by the same office. Much as you might have not participated in the assessment, I believe the report will be shared to all interested. Laura (here copied) is in charge of the process and promised to share the result with us.
Regards,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
There was an assessment being organized regarding Seed security and people floated their interests in being considered for the same. RIO forwarded its interest and willingness to participate in the same. We neither got confirmation (either positive or negative). How did the process end?
Thanks

Thanks Joseph
We have tried to use them in the just concluded IITA/NARO USAID work on climate change but they were not very reliable. The make was not good and programme was not very appropriate. The batteries were poor. However, those who have experience in using it, say the technology is very good. The data is good and cannot easily be doctored and also makes analysis faster. If connected to the server, the data has back up.
Let him try it but with good quality tablets and well trained enumerators.
All the best

Dear Omondi,
No field test on the use of tablets has yet been done. I hope you will give us your experience.

Team,
I plan to use tablets/smart phones in SSSA in Somalia.
Has anybody ever done this elsewhere? Kindly share the experience.
