Pablo has many years of experience in computer networks and systems administration and takes care of the operation of Tradenet's main servers including security, database management and replication. He makes sure data is available to our customers when they require it and works closely with the development team to implement changes and new features into our systems.

Shaun Ferris
Shaun is located in Kampala, Uganda, where he has been based since 1995. Previously, he set up the FOODNET project, which pioneered new marketing information systems at the local, national and regional levels. He is now the project manager of CIAT’s Rural Agro-enterprise Development project (RAeD), involved in project activities in Latin America, Asia and Africa. These projects are based around the concept of linking farmers to markets using methods, tools and information systems. Shaun’s main areas of interest include (i) community enterprise development (ii) marketing information services, (iii) commodity trade analysis. Shaun's repsonsibility with Tradenet is the support and deployment of MIS departments in the field and the training/model required to get timely and accurate market information into the system as easily and quickly as possible. |
