CAM is a mobile application framework for the rural developing world.

The key design elements of CAM are:

• Tight linkage to paper processes - barcodes link CAM to familiar paper formats
• Camera and multimedia-driven UI - accessible to rural users and the constraints of mobile devices
• Easy to program and use - easy to localize, even if phone doesn't support target language
• Asynchronous networking - using SMS and other SMTP-based protocols
• Mobile phones as a computing platform - battery-powered, familiar, cheap, immediately useful
• Agent-based - supporting distributed data collection and dissemination

Climate Counts recently launched an environmental scorecard program, in which companies are ranked according to their impact on climate change. Consumers can text a keyword and then a company name ("cc nike," for example) and receive a text message containing Climate Counts' report on the company, as well as information about how the company fares relative to its competitors.

Over the past year or so, we have provided the Edwards team with a range of mobile services and consultation. Working with their web team, we have designed everything from general opt-in campaigns to more specific, time-sensitive campaigns and services, including: a program that allowed people to text Edwards questions during a live, televised town hall meeting; text-messaging-based petitions; and a campaign to provide updates and tips about conservation and greenhouse gas-reduction. The campaign recently broke new ground by launching the first-ever mobile political fundraising program, which they built on our platform.

Aveda ran a nationwide campaign in which they asked customers to text in and sign a petition demanding that the UN make access to clean water a human right. Thousands of customers did so, and 32 percent of these customers followed up and provided their email as well.

We are interested in making this tool an open source tool for use of any non-profit organization.

Currently, we're working with a non-profit called Winrock International. We are helping to deliver the market prices of Nigerian Cassava tubers to the cell phones of Nigerian farmers-- thus allowing them efficient and optimized sales opportunities with the highest profit maximization.
