Designing gender and youth responsive agronomic solutions study report: Digital green Ethiopia & fertilizer Ethiopia use cases

This report is part of a study series offering insights into the potential of Excellence in Agronomy (EiA) Use Cases to adjust the
agronomic solutions offered through the Minimum Viable Products (MVP) to better Reach, Benefit, and Empower women and
youth, and to Transform gender and generational norms. The analysis covers the study area of two Use Cases in Ethiopia: Digital
Green Ethiopia (DGE), and Fertilizer Ethiopia (FE), focusing on Ethiopia’s Amhara, Oromia, and SNNP regions. DGE focuses on
wheat production and has developed a digital tool that delivers bundled advice related to site-specific fertilizer application for
wheat, the onset of rains and recommended wheat planting dates, and wheat rust monitoring. FE focuses on delivering fertilizer
recommendations related to sorghum, teff and wheat. Given similar geographical and topical operational areas of these Use Cases,
the diagnostic exercise for these Use Cases was jointly implemented.
