Background
Feasts Consultants International is implementing the eBooster Project, a transformative initiative aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity and market access through digital solutions. The project encompasses various activities, including app development, training workshops, farm management manuals, and marketing strategies to support farmers and agribusiness stakeholders.

To showcase the impact and lessons learned from the eBooster Project, Feasts Consultants International seeks to engage a professional filmmaker to produce a high-quality documentary highlighting the project's implementation, achievements, and beneficiaries' experiences. Additionally, video and photography coverage will be required for the official launch of the Feasts Farms App on 6th March 2025.

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
FEASTS Consultants International Ltd (FEASTS) has partnered with the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) to implement the FEASTSFARMS Mobile Application under UCC’s E-booster Project. The E-Booster is a 1-year project that aims at providing Digital solutions to the underserved communities in Uganda. The App is designed to address the pressing challenges faced by agripreneurs especially part-time farmers, who struggle with limited time for farm supervision and access to relevant agricultural extension services. The FEASTSFARMS app bridges this gap by enabling farmers to remotely monitor farm activities, track performance, manage finances, access professionals and advisory services—all in real-time. Key features of the FEASTSFARMS app include:
• Daily data capture on farm inputs, labour, inventory, sales, and finances.
• Real-time reporting and performance monitoring, including visual insights.
• Advisory services and guidance to enhance farm productivity.
• Connection with qualified farm managers for those without in-house expertise.
• Accessibility via smartphones, ensuring convenience for users.

The project is targeting commercial and semi-commercial farmers in Kayunga (Busaana and Bbaale Sub counties), Gomba (Kanoni Town Council and Kabulasoke Sub County), Luweero (Ziroobwe and Bamunanika Sub counties), Wakiso (Kira Municipal Council and Namayumba Sub County), and Kampala Districts.
