Inclusive Rural Advisory Service for Farmers

@Sainabou Jallow

20 min

Use Case: https://app.gitbook.com/o/pxmRWOPoaU8fUAbbcrus/s/YLLEfCKTnmzAMDSDzJJH/use-cases/agr-1-market-linkage-1

Comments

  • Margus: Is this a high-value use case in the Ag sector?

    • Steve: Worked with GIZ and UNDP and identified that there are/were 5 core use cases, this was one of them

  • Ramkumar: Supporting story about how this sector can impact individual citizens

    • Aspects of this use case may involve more individual manual involvement (e.g. people going out to visit farmers)

    • Will connect with contact who has experience in this sector

    • From the comments: Some services that can be added targeting the farmer:  online inspection and advice, supply chain info, storage, waste recycling, contract services like tilling, harvesting, transport, irrigation,etc

Post-23Q3 Roadmap

(In Progress)

Feedback

  • Ramkumar: Suggestion to create a “citizen portal” for entry in to GovStack

  • Steve: Need to ensure that there is clarity on any new BBs

  • Margus: Also need to consider adapting existing BBs into smaller BBs (decomposing them) or extracting “use case” content from them (“some of the current BBs seem more like a use case”). BBs with a smaller scope may increase the potential providers that can satisfy the specification

  • Rachel: We need to create a use case prior to starting work on any new BBs

  • Ramkumar: We have defined a layered approach to BBs but this isn’t consistently referenced in our work or in the BBs themselves. It may be helpful to formalize this concept

  • Margus: Do we have an cabinet use case? Are we confusing use cases with build blocks?

Ideas:

  • Service blocks, interaction between BBs and other architecture levels

  • Spec review incl. external feedback

  • Application of specs for procurement purposes, describe procurement support options

  • Review structure and target of specs, set expectations correctly

  • Service blocks and connecting them to the specs
