[ 01 ] Purpose & Positioning

A digital backbone for Farming Calendar execution.

Ugani.Digital™ is the extension officer's daily operating system — designed to make every field visit, every demo plot and every farmer interaction part of one connected season. It plans against a Farming Calendar, logs against GPS, and reports against the indicators donors and ministries actually ask about.

— How it complements KM360™
  • Vikundi.Digital™Pulls farmer & group profiles for calendarized planning.
  • Maarifa™Hosts the training library and advisory templates.
  • My Climate™Feeds rainfall, weather and advisories into calendar alerts.
  • Jembe.Pesa™Links farmer adherence to credit & insurance eligibility.
  • Mazao · DukaSurfaces real-time input demand and post-harvest output volumes.
[ 02 ] Eight functional modules

Built around how extension actually works.

From calendar planning to evidence capture, advisory to performance — eight modules cover the full extension workflow, calibrated for offline-first field use.

A · PlanCalendar

Farmer Calendar & Field Management

Dynamic farming calendar by agro-ecological zone, task scheduling across crop stages, GPS-mapped field visits and milestone alerts (top-dress, scouting, harvest).

B · TeachLibrary

Digital Advisory & Training Content

Localized multimedia content aligned to FAO & SNV GAP standards. Multilingual (Kiswahili/English), AI assistant for quick queries, offline mode for low-connectivity zones.

C · CaptureReporting

Field Data Capture & Digital Reporting

Mobile forms for yield, pest incidence, input usage and attendance. GPS-tagged demo plots, before/after photos, auto-scoring of adherence, standardized monthly & quarterly reports.

D · AdviseDecision support

Advisory & Decision Support Dashboard

AI advisory engine combining weather, soil and crop-stage data. Color-coded field heatmaps, pest early warning, input recommendations, finance-linkage prompts via Jembe.Pesa™.

E · MeasurePBI

Performance Monitoring & KPI Tracking

KPI dashboards for yield, adoption, gender balance and data completion. Automated officer scorecards, district leaderboards, exportable M&E reports for AGRA, SNV and IFAD.

F · CoordinateComms

Communication & Coordination Hub

In-app chat and broadcast messaging between officers, coordinators and agronomists. SMS/USSD fallback via Longa™ for inclusivity in low-coverage areas.

G · VisualizeGeo-AI

Geo-Intelligence & Map Analytics

Real-time maps of farmer distribution, demo plots and yield zones. NDVI satellite imagery, rainfall & pest overlays from My Climate™, geo-tagged evidence library for audits.

H · SyncOffline-first

Offline Functionality & Data Sync

Full functionality without connectivity; auto-sync when back online. Local caching of training material, low-bandwidth Android optimization, queue-based central sync.
