Apr to Sep 2022 FRAME Plan

Workstream	What is Success?	Who is Doing What?

Workstream	What is Success?	Who is Doing What?
Content Identification and Dissemination	Content on key practices (N optimization and timely planting) reaches [200]k farmers Target advisories based on highest potential for impact based on CIMMYT LDS analytics	Technical content from CSISA DG will develop content, train VRPs and [potentially] reinforce VBE with additional channels (IVR, Whatsapp) JEEViKA VRPs will disseminate and track adoption EDF to share learnings on barriers to adoption
Data Collection	Lean data approach for kharif season Operationalize water balance monitoring Standards intercomparison	DG to revise, deploy data collection form and train VRPs DG to build a dashboard that tracks progress of data collection ops (forms collected, records accepted/rejected, VRPs paid, etc.) JEEViKA VRPs capture data EDF leads on standards intercomparison CSISA to share learnings from LDS DG to do research on data model (align w LDS or something else, eg FarmOS)
Emission Estimates	Gameplan for DNDC V1 intercomparison: DNDC not parameterized for soil hydrology, DNDC with hydrology, CFT, N-balance What’s the output and intended outcome of this intercomparison? Use tier 3 models to generate a tier 2 equation	DG works with model providers to generate emission estimates CSISA postdoc leads on model intercomparison and perhaps moving to open source DNDC EDF to draft “thought piece” on standards intercomparison work (interim milestone is detailing audience and objective)
Data Wallet	Scorecard 2.0; use kharif data as entry point for timely rice planting advisory	DG leads on this
Ecosystem	Enabling environment in Bihar; transition pathways (ZT service economy, pilot driving demand through incentives) Initial discussion on replication plan

Roles and Responsibilities (Dec 21 to Mar 22 for reference)

	DG	EDF	Cornell/CSISA	JEEViKA
Content Identification and Dissemination	Coordinate w JEEViKA on content calendar Pilot approaches beyond VBE	Share learnings on barriers to adoption	Technical advice on practices (+ Convergence Platform) Share learnings on barriers to adoption	Disseminate and track adoption through VBE
Data collection	Build data collection app (Kobo) Train VRPs	Standards intercomparison		VRPs collect data
Emission estimates	Generate estimates w third party models	Contribute to model intercomparison	Model intercomparison
Data Wallet	Product design and development (scorecards)
Ecosystem	Training for JEEViKA cadre on CSA	How to present work to policyholders	Intro to orgs in Bihar and beyond
