1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Sauti East Africa is a women-led social enterprise combining development research and technology solutions to address the digital information gaps facing women working in agricultural value chains. Sauti leverages the competitive advantages of mobile technology to deliver tailored agroclimatic and market information to farmers and traders in East Africa. Our mission is to empower women farmers and traders to trade legally, safely, and profitably.

1.2 Project Context

With less access to capital than their male counterparts, small-scale informal women farmers and traders often rely on high-interest personal loans and informal community-based loans to support their agricultural activities. Surveys conducted with women farmers and traders along the Kenya–Uganda border found that 39% and 24% of women relied on loans from digital lenders and community-based banking institutions, respectively, to overcome disruptions to their business activities.

While innovative finance has enabled many Kenyan and Ugandan women in the agricultural sector to overcome some of the gendered capital constraints affecting their participation in the sector, many informal finance institutions do not adequately account for the risk of disruptions to women’s revenue caused by climate-related events. Moreover, women farmers and traders have few accessible resources and often limited financial literacy with which to evaluate predicted volatility and climate-related hazards that may affect their ability to repay loans.

Women farmers also face structural challenges in accessing resources, securing land, and participating fully in agricultural economies. From land ownership constraints to gender disparities in decision-making and access to finance, these factors shape the realities of women in farming and limit their economic opportunities.

The impact of climate volatility is compounded for traders who move goods across the Kenya–Uganda border. These traders face gender-based barriers, including sexual harassment, corruption, and other safety-related risks, when crossing the border and accessing markets for their goods.

1.3 Project Overview

Sauti’s approach targets the information and accessibility gaps that prevent women small-scale farmers and traders in Kenya and Uganda from assessing the real-time climate-related risks affecting their agricultural and business activities. We will employ a human-centred design approach to create a mobile-based climate and financial risk information platform accessible through Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD), WhatsApp, and Short Message Service (SMS).

The behaviour-change model underlying this initiative is based on the premise that better information leads to better decisions. When farmers have timely and reliable access to agricultural and financial information, they can plan more effectively and reduce their vulnerability to climate-related disruptions. This allows them to manage risks proactively, access better credit opportunities, and strengthen their financial position over time.
