Develop curriculum integration plan + roll out | Get DL materials out to farmers/ FOs via video extension (videos teaching DL) + other means (facilitator training or TOT for example). MEL plan to understand impact & learnings | Program (Training) + MEL for impact piece | TBD… Probably ASAP for Jimma (later half FY23); FY24 for India | Train SSP + FOs on DL |
Integrate digital literacy/digital confidence features into UI/UX of DFN app | Inclusivity, usable by farmers and ensure DFN vision comes to fruition and doesn’t leave people behind | Tech/Product | Longer term process; TBD. | Inclusive app |
