Impact

Phase I

• Close to 60 fishermen in seven communities directly benefitted from the project and more than 1,500 members of the community and local business benefitted indirectly.
• In the community of Coroa Vermelha, where the fish processing unit is located, revenue increased to almost 170,000 Brazilian real (approximately US$85,000) in the 15-month period following the launch of the project.
• Additionally, the use of mobile phones grew by 16.1 percent among those participating in the project, compared with those who did not.

Phase II

• Today, the oyster farm produces about 3,000 units per month, with the potential to produce 10,000 units per month.
• In only two months, a participating restaurant sold 2,000 oysters, which generated approximately 2,500 Brazilian real (US$1,286) in additional monthly income for the community of mariculturists.
• To help increase socio-environmental awareness and promote the sale of oysters, an Augmented Reality application was developed using Qualcomm’s Vuforia platform to provide informational text, photos, videos and a game via a 3G connected tablet.

Phase III

• The first group participating at CEIT-PR3G is comprised of 50 youth from Guiau and Santo Antonio, of which more than half are female and/or do not have access to a computer at home.
• The students were introduced to mobile technology at CEIT and then participated in an outdoor excursion where they used 3G connected devices to geo-tag dozens of new locations on Google Earth. CEIT-PR3G is estimated to impact more than 4,000 people in Santa Cruz Cabralia and an additional 5,000 people in surrounding communities.
