    This will provide RA with the farmers’ and technical assistants valuable perspective, shedding light on the challenges they experience as well as what changes they would like to see in the future. The study will also explore the farmers’ current access to mobile technology (and describe the relevant technical specifications) or use thereof and will provide a brief overview of existing mobile platforms. This information will be used to inform the ideation phase which will produce recommendations for using mobile technology to address the challenges raised.
    The objective of this study is therefore to provide RA with a clear understanding of:

    A problem statement based on UTZ certified coffee farmers’ and technical assistants’ experiences in Kenya
    The farmers’ (female and male) and technical assistants’ experiences and challenges relating to access to knowledge and technology through Customer Journey Mapping (i.e. a needs assessment and analysis.

Including, their capabilities, relevant technical description, services, reach (national and international), and key areas of alignment with UTZ Academy’s strategy. Platforms to be explored include: iCow, Rural eMarket, Esoko, Farm Connect, Mshamba and WeFarm.
    Recommended scenarios for integrated solutions that address key challenges and have positive impact on farmers and TAs. These recommendations can include suggestions for the use of existing services or development of new platforms and should highlight the farmers and TAs needs/challenges and possible interventions that could address those challenges.

    Approach:
    We foresee the following activities:

    Interviews with UTZ Academy didactic team, Utz regional team in Kenya, Technical Assistants (differentiating between independent TAs and TAs that are employed by a company or trader), UTZ certified farmers (including females, males and youth) and RA tech department.

    Desk research of existing mobile technology services and their capabilities.

    Expected Expertise:
    We seek the following qualification and knowledge:

    A university qualification in a related field
    English fluency and sufficient knowledge of Swahili or other local languages
    Experience working with Design Thinking or Human Centred Design approaches is a must

    Format for Customer Journey Mapping tools and co-development of other tools used for the study

    Budget and time allocation:

    Proposals should include a work plan and specified budget outline, including travel costs, and other costs associated with carrying out interviews in-field. CVs of participating researchers should be annexed to the proposal, if possible with reference to similar assignments.
    Total budget should not exceed EUR 10,000
