FROM THE DIRECTOR
ANTENNA IS 25 YEARS OLD
We wanted to re-imagine science and technology for essential needs, creating a new concept which includes all the features that enable local people to improve their living conditions.
Antenna now has over 60 projects in over 30 countries, in the following areas: water and sanitation, nutrition, energy, agriculture, medicine and microcredit. ÉLÉPHANT VERT is Antenna’s first social enterprise spin-off in agriculture.
Over the next 25 years, we need to develop relationships, securing support across different sectors. Only if financial institutions change their approach, by investing in technologies which meet the needs of the poorest and by developing microcredit schemes, will poverty and hunger be beaten. That is just one area where we hope for change. More collaborations and partnerships will be essential if we are to carry out our activities on a larger scale. Radical improvements for those in extreme poverty will require the mobilisation of all available resources, across all sectors.
Denis von der Weid Founder and Director
Antenna Technologies was created in 1989 by a small association of highly creative scientists. Our aim
was to use science and technology to develop technologies to meet
essential needs, especially in relation to extreme poverty. Finding the
North-South divide intolerable, we were driven to seek solutions which
would improve daily living conditions for the most disadvantaged people.

12 ANTENNA FOUNDATION ENERGY
ENERGY THE ANTENNA FOUNDATION AND ITS PARTNERS HAVE DEVELOPED AN INNOVATIVE SOLAR KIT: OOLUX®. A SPECIAL FEATURE OF THIS PRODUCT IS THE PROGRESSIVE PAYMENT SYSTEM, WHICH ALLOWS THE CLIENT TO PAY FOR THE KIT IN INSTALMENTS REFLECTING THE STRUCTURE OF EXPENDITURE ON COMBUSTION LIGHTING.
According to UN estimates, 1,3 billion people do not have access to electricity and so have to use energy sources which cause pollution, are dangerous to health, and very cumbersome to use, in order to meet their needs for lighting.
OOLUX® technology includes a TIC system which helps the local distributor with payment operations. The system was developed and tested in Cameroon during the first phase of the Solar Square project.
WHERE WE WORK
ACTION IN 2015A new distribution chain was introduced in Cameroon, in order to validate the business model and the IT management tool associated with the sale of OOLUX® kits. This project was implemented in partnership with Solafrica.ch and African Solar Generation, a Cameroon company which sells and installs solar devices as an additional energy source. The field test highlighted three points:
• Users are positive about the reliability and quality of the lighting provided by the OOLUX® kit and about its use in recharging mobile phone batteries. In addition, the kit was useful for children’s homework.
• The progressive payment system was particularly welcomed by purchasers and retailers.
• All those in the commercial distribution chain were content with the functionality of the IT management system.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
OUTLOOK FOR 2016
A computerised system for the management of progressive payments has been developed and rolled out in Cameroon. It includes three different levels of distribution model.
• Client: The OOLUX® kit technology allows it to be activated or deactivated depending on payment by the client. When activated, the technology ensures that the client’s information is registered by the system.
• Vendor: A smartphone application is used to activate the OOLUX® kit. It includes sales and stock management tools to assist vendors.
• Distributor: A web portal enables the distributor to monitor sales.
• After fine-tuning the computerised management tool in the light of adjustments suggested in the field in Cameroon, we will have a finished product which can be offered to our commercial partners.
• Develop a new version of the OOLUX® kit. The main objective is to redesign the product in order to reduce the cost of production, so that the device can be sold at a competitive price for commercial distribution.

• The Group also plans to establish a presence in Senegal, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. In Europe, it aims to extend its portfolio of SMEs and intermediate clients.
• Finally, in relation to industrial support, 2 toll manufacturing contracts will take effect in 2016, as well as production of metarhizium for our trials.
MOUSSA DIARRA, FARMER 26 KM FROM NIONO (OFFICE DU NIGER ZONE) TESTED FERTINOVA
“I used FERTINOVA in my rice field. On one part of the field, I put FERTINOVA with a half dose of urea and on the other, I followed the traditional practice (mineral fertiliser plus manure). Passers-by were very surprised by the difference in growth, as the crop in one part of the field was higher than in the other. When they asked for the reason, I explained that I had used a new product called FERTINOVA on the part of the field
where the rice plants were better developed. It is an excellent mineral fertiliser as its effect on the soil is highly beneficial. It nourishes the soil, strengthens the plants,
and improves cutting. This is the third time I have used FERTINOVA. Each time, I have observed its after-effects on the crops and the soil, and it has even enabled me to
reduce my use of mineral fertiliser. I strongly recommend other farmers to try out this product, so that they can see its effects for themselves, just as I have done.”
