 SCOPE OF WORK
 Developing and Using Information Technology for
 Agribusiness Development in Africa

The List Administrator of Agnet-Africa, an electronic forum for
networking and information sharing among agribusiness trade and
professional associations in West, East, and Southern Africa should
perform the following tasks working fifteen (15) to twenty (20) hours
a week.

The role of the list administrator is to see that the list is
operating smoothly and is serving as a functional information resource
for agribusiness professionals on the African continent.  In order to
do this, certain amounts of information should be pro-actively posted
to generate the interest of the subscribers and to demonstrate the
validity and use of the World Wide Web as an information-gathering
too.  Pro-active postings are described below:

Daily (Monday-Friday): Post a selection of regional news articles
related to agribusiness and trade gleaned from the African News
Service web site at http://www.africanews.org/.  The list of articles
is limited to titles, by-lines and opening sentences.  The Internet
address is provided for each story, should the subscriber want to view
the entire article.

Weekly: Every Thursday or Friday (depending on the day it is released)
post selections from the Sanlam Weekly Agri-economic newsletter, found
on the Sanlam web site (http://www.sanlam.co.za/).

Monthly: A) Post a monthly help file reminding subscribers of
appropriate topics for the Agnet-Africa discussion list, modes of
receiving mail and how to change personal subscriber options, how to
unsubscribe, how to post to the list, and a general description of
list etiquette.  B) Post notifications of recently released Foreign
Agricultural Service monthly reports, such as World Markets and Trade
for Grains, Cotton, and Oilseeds.  The Web address is posted for those
who have access to it, and the table of contents for each report is
listed for those without full Internet access wishing to request
sections of various reports.

Other duties of the List Administrator include responding to the needs
of the list subscribers:

As necessary: Subscribe or unsubscribe list participants.  Change the
personal options of subscribers in order to preserve the integrity of
the list.  Send personal e-mails to list subscribers, thanking for
their postings or encouraging them to post to the list.

As requested: Perform Internet research for members of the
Agnet-Africa list on topics related to agriculture and agribusiness.

Reporting requirements: Monthly reports are to include an outline of
monthly activities, a summary of changes in the list, a current
subscription list, and a log of related e-mail.  Reports should be
submitted to the Office of Sustainable Development in USAID's Africa
Burea and the Office of International Cooperation and Development in
USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service.
