Digital Agriculture - GeoKRISHI (www.geokrishi.farm)

GeoKRISHI takes an integrated systems approach covering different agricultural stages (planning, preparation, growing, harvesting and post-harvesting) and of value chain through co-design of intelligent tools and business services in participatory approaches. This tool helps to identify pocket areas for planning. Additionally it provides tools for growing phase of agricultural stages. This includes, crop disease detection, fertilizer calculator, feed calculator, call center and other agriculture advisory center. It also includes tools to make agricultural cooperatives with tools to estimate crop production and market chain. As per priority set by local needs GeoKRISHI establishes customized information center(s) and build capacities of farmers cooperatives, private & public service provider to deliver agriculture extension, both as embedded services as well as standalone businesses. GeoKRISHI’s strategy is to harness the potential of digital technologies for agriculture sector. The GeoKRISHI team and associated actors are working to inculcate a culture of data-driven solution that translate data into actionable, timely and context-specific information for smallholder farmers.

Watershed Management and Planning System

The system is intended to develop integrated watershed planning and management system (IWPMS), which will enhance the capacity of Department of Soil Conservation and Watershed Management (DFSC) in watershed planning and management. The IWPMS provides the comprehensive characterization of selected sub-watershed; its problem areas/activity areas, selection of intervention activities; and identifying management areas with scope of activities.

Smart Municipal Profiling

GIS play an important role in municipal planning, development and management. This tool provide GIS enabled Web, Mobile and Enterprise GIS solutions for Municipalities of new federal structure of Nepal. It includes citizen engagement tools, resource management and profiling, thematic mapping that includes demographic profiling, agriculture, health, watershed management and energy sector. It includes mobile based data collection and management system. This survey app provides enumerator to record data in offline mode and upload only when internet connection is available. It provides additional tools based on municipality need such as customized report generation, resource mapping and query tools.

Child right case recording and referral app

The app is a form of means to collect the child right incidents as it happens. It records the incidents and stores data in the remote database further depending on the category of the incident app automatically send notification or SMS to the concerned departments.

Nepal Redcross Data Collection and Reporting App

Nepal Redcross successfully implemented a complete M&E System with mobile based (offline) data collection and monitoring templates with the following main features:

I. Streamline flow of information between different stakeholders within the Red Cross consortium
II. Establish check-points among hierarchy of users to ensure data quality
III. Consolidate information from different tools to provide a richer and centralized reporting mechanism

Winrock KISAN App

KISAN Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) and on line data management system to support the collection, storage, processing and reporting of performance indicators.
KISAN II will provide Grants to around 350 firms and organization to reach intended number i.e. 200,000 of households, 250,000 individual farmers through detail activities and trainings through Grantees and /or by conducting Business Literacy Trainings to family members from same household .

Municipal Energy Planning Tool

The GIS enabled ‘Municipal Energy Planning’ tools is developed to add value for the three levels of government (federal, provincial and local) to support data-driven renewable energy analysis, evidence-based planning, policy making, investment and monitoring. The system evaluate and simulates ‘Life Cycle Cost’ (LCC) helps decision maker and planner to select the Best Available Technologies (BAT) options i.e. solar, wind, micro-hydro potential sites for any given selected Municipal or community level. Ratio of Life Cycle Cost of Renewable Energy System to Grid Extension will be calculated to find the breakeven point which will give the distance at which both grid and isolated renewable energy system will be economically feasible to supply the energy to the targeted location. This Life Cycle Cost (LCC) for individual technologies and distribution services are compared to select the BAT for a specific geographical location.

Modeling Demographic Profile (2011–2031) and estimate health targets

Understanding population dynamics and heterogeneity (by education, health, income, place of residence, states, etc.) within a country provides important insights for explaining social and environmental changes. It also helps to identify vulnerable sections of the population that are affected most by these changes. Projections of population dynamics and heterogeneity can serve as a prediction that assists policymakers and other stakeholders in visualizing an alternative future, to assess what-if scenarios, or to simulate sensitivity tests of single or multiple variables. While demographers are interested purely in population dynamics, the users of population projections are spread in many disciplines, among them development studies with a focus on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). We have developed and packaged results along with useful functionality into a user-friendly website and app. It includes annual demographic targets as needed by DoHS and the Ministry of Health for the planning, monitoring, coordination, supervision, and evaluation of health and population related policy and budget preparation - resource allocation, setting health commodities targets and logistics management.
