FAO DIGITAL FOR IMPACT 2022

34

Digital transformation in action

Generally, the goal of the advisories series is to trigger thought-leaders and programme/project managers to consider whether the impact of potential or planned digital investments could be maximized. It provides more detailed guidance on best practices for the actual project implementors in key technology and policy matters, including guidance on the Digital Public Good Alliance’s certification process. Further topics that will be published include: sustainability, scalability, data protection, intellectual proprty (IP) rights and licensing, procurement, digital public goods including the certification process by Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA), IT security and more. FAO has thus been working towards imbuing existing business processes and knowledge products with key concepts that underly digital public goods, including licensing, data protection and sustainability. It has extended existing tools geared towards the "what" of digital agriculture with a new framework that explores how to create, reuse and sustain digital public goods at scale.

More recently, business units began to ask the question, how can we gain a similar perspective for non-digital technologies supporting FAO’s field efforts?
