DIASCA Working Group Meeting Series Part 2: Meeting on Forest Monitoring for Sustainable Supply Chains

After the successful relaunch of regular DIASCA meetings and webinars, we would like to cordially invite you to the next webinar on the 13th of March from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm (CET).

In this webinar, we will hear from our special guest George Watene, Program Manager at the Global Coffee Platform, about the efforts of the Kenyan coffee sector in terms of coffee farm geolocation, forest monitoring, as well as hosting and sharing of data for EUDR purposes. In his talk, George will shine a light on the successes already achieved and the challenges still remaining in Kenya’s journey to compliance with international deforestation regulations.

George’s talk will be followed by an illustration on how the AIM4Commodities project supports countries in the implementation process and how open-source tools can facilitate geolocation.

In the third part of this webinar, we give room for discussion by you, the participants, to exchange on tools, best practices and challenges, and your support needs.

The DIASCA network supports the design and development of an open-source digital public infrastructure (DPI) in order to create an efficient “ecosystem” of digital applications and improve interoperability between systems. DPI is based on several existing digital building blocks and software components. The open-source applications are primarily intended to support smallholders and producer organizations in effectively implementing the requirements of the EUDR and beyond.
