Some questions:
FPO selection:
Is there a profile of FPO we want to focus on? Some considerations:
# of shareholders, % of women shareholders, % of women BOD members, annual turnover, quality of resource institution, location (easy access for DG team for regular checkins)
Do we want to focus on specific value chains? Do we pilot with a variety of FPOs over the next six months to one year and then hone in?
“Entry points.” Which of the activities below do we want to pilot as we work with FPOs? Ideally we can come up with a rough FPO level budget (eg, we collaborate for 6 months, invest ___ resources and hope to achieve the following)
Recruit and train a data officer. What are their role and responsibilities?
Create member profiles
Digitize the input business
Share data with off-takers
Have FPO members
Apply for grants and loans
How we work: Currently, there is a weekly checkin w Ravi, Sai, Amrita and Ashok. Should we loop in Gautam and Vineet? Others? Can we do a better job of establishing two week sprint goals and sharing those broadly so everyone has visibility?
When we met in Khopoli in late May, we discussed bringing a bunch of stakeholders together for a pledge akin to RE100 commitment at Climate Corp: which I thought was a cool idea. Do we want to revisit this?
“we pledge to empower farmer organizations to improve their livelihoods through data and digitization”
informed consent
secure data sharing
audit trail
interoperability
data ownership
data localization
transparency
