At this time we are developing a project in the use of mobile technologies to enhance the cognitive development of children of the Indigenous Community of Manzana, which is a rural environment of the Department of La Guajira, located in the village of Mayapo, municipality of Manaure, to through recognition of their learning styles. This project developed by the University of La Guajira, is supported with researchers from Stanford University.
specifically ANN models to forecast rural rural demand profiles in rural electrification schemes through ICT for rural smartgrid and microgrid optimization.

I also note that the website has been disabled. I was part of this project (it ended) but many of the countries where it was piloted have gone on to integrate the components in mainstream development initiatives. You can get information about how it was organized from here: http://www.comminit.com/community-radio-africa/content/farmer-voice-radio-fvr.
Hi Kiran, you should look at the use of mobile phones in Kenya for financial transactions. Papers by jenny Ackers form Tuft university will be helpful to see how researcher are looking at these issues. Google her publications. hope this is useful. Suresh Babu
We are currently implementing a ICT based, climate smart agri-lending methodology in Colombia and Peru, focussing mostly on the centralization of climate, production, crop (phenology, physiology) and market data. Some information is to be found at www.pnuma.org/meba. Happy to provide more accurate and extensive information beyond comment level here. Best, Christoph
