Pilot Phase
- Jonas Van Duijvenbode
During the pilot, FF aims to demonstrate its value in selected pilot areas for 6 months (typically 3-5 areas are selected according to a set of criteria such as diversity of stakeholders, and different drivers of deforestation). FF tools and processes are used for investigations and interventions, and feedback is collected on the predictions, dashboard, governance model and general effectiveness of FF. In the second half of the pilot, the team starts to prepare the scaling of FF to the full region (drafting a scaling plan, discussing with stakeholders and detailing the governance model).
In the pilot phase we have determined a few essential roles for a smooth transition to the scaling phase.
To adhere to our Guiding principles we deem it important to involve local communities in the areas where the FF pilots are executed.
The pilot also requires intensive updating of all the other stakeholders. A proposed outline is given in the next image.
From a tech perspective we deliver the following services during the Pilot Phase
