Open questions:

  • How will the FPO decide which sapling to purchase? Do they have indication of demand from farmers? Would it makes sense to collect that via KDE?

Agenda for call on 5/16:

  1. Ronali to share the timeline created

  2. Identify the team that will work on each of the streams

  3. Set a timeline / deadlines for activities

  4. Schedule next meeting to check in

Streams and milestones

What are all the major activities / milestones that will happen over the course of this project? Bucket into high level groupings

Farmer Proposal

  1. What is the proposal submission format that we want to try for this project? What are the key elements? (e.g. what is the farmer group need, what would the funds be used for, how did they decide as a community for this idea, what metrics do they believe they can track, how will the asset make an impact on their community)

  2. Can we test a video submission for this activity?

Measurement

  1. Identify baseline metrics to gather before the asset is procured (eg current production, cost of seedlings in market, proxies for farmer financial resilience, data on current loan practices and interest rates)

  2. Create a theory of change for the project

    1. By granting nursery infrastructure, we can: (1) aggregate new forms of data for women farmers in Orissa (2) increase financial resilience for farmers by selling seedlings and contract ongoing buyers for seedlings (3) attract new sources of capital (loans) from financial institutions. Further, the soil-less methodology is climate smart, demonstrated by _______ (metric).

  3. As we launch the garden, agree with the farmer organization about the metrics to capture during the pilot (eg through a prototyping report card)

  4. What data is shared back to farmer group that holds value (intrinsic)?

  5. What data is collected to share with outside stakeholders?

  6. What data needs to be validated? how?

Bringing outside stakeholders along for the pilot

  1. Identify the right partners who can use the data (buyers of seedlings, seed companies, banks)

  2. Share project vision and see how it aligns with their programs

  3. Invite to key moments during the pilot

  4. Post pilot, have a conversation about how they’d like to participate going forward.

  5. Post pilot, DG reflects on what tools / video advisory can help farmer groups hold this process independently in the future.

Grant

  1. Legal and compliance checks by DG on how to route money

  2. Define roles / responsibilities incl DG, FPO, resource org

  3. Grant proposal (video) incl detail on physical and data assets

  4. Grant agreement (something simple, augment paper with a video)

  5. Grant disbursement schedule (up-front vs. tranched)

  6. Grant close-out (video?)

Physical Asset

  1. Technical training to operationalize the asset

  2. Procurement

  3. Installation / setup

  4. Go-Live

  5. Provision for asset maintenance and servicing

Data Systems

  1. Data officer selection and training

  2. Capture and validate data

  3. Farmers engage with data

  4. Share data with service providers

  5. Brainstorm additional use cases for data
