KITE will use a structured, multi-layered framework to track and report on the impact of its solutions for palm oil smallholders and coastal fishing communities – ensuring transparency for governments, partners, and users. Here’s the approach:
1. Core Impact Metrics (Aligned with National Development Goals)
Metrics are designed to align with Indonesia’s National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) and sector-specific targets:
For Palm Oil Smallholders
Tabel
Category Key Metrics Baseline (2025) Target (2027)
Economic Impact - Average income per smallholder - Percentage of smallholders accessing credit - Premium price access rate (for certified palm oil) IDR 8.5M/year 15% 10% IDR 11M/year 40% 35%
Sustainability Impact - Compliance rate with RSPO standards - Reduction in deforestation risk - Water/fertilizer use efficiency 25% N/A – 60% 30% lower 20% higher
Social Impact - Digital literacy rate among smallholders - Women’s participation in decision-making - Cooperative member retention rate 10% 20% 65% 45% 40% 90%
Operational Impact - Time saved on compliance paperwork - Transaction cost reduction - Yield per hectare 5 hours/week IDR 2,500/kg 3.8 tons/ha 1 hour/week IDR 1,200/kg 4.5 tons/ha
For Coastal Fishing Communities
Tabel
Category Key Metrics Baseline (2025) Target (2027)
Economic Impact - Average income per fisher - Percentage of fish sold at premium prices - Access to insurance coverage IDR 7M/year 5% 8% IDR 9.5M/year 25% 40%
Sustainability Impact - Compliance with fishing quotas - Reduction in bycatch - Post-harvest loss rate 30% 25% 35% 75% 10% 15%
Social Impact - Digital tool adoption rate - Youth retention in fishing sectors - Food security index (local) 8% 15% 60% 40% 35% 80%
Operational Impact - Time saved on market matching - Fuel cost reduction - Cold chain efficiency 4 hours/week IDR 3M/year 50% 1 hour/week IDR 1.8M/year 85%
2. Data Collection & Measurement Methods
KITE will combine on-chain tracking with ground-level surveys to ensure accuracy:
- On-Chain Monitoring:
- AI agents automatically record data like yields, transactions, compliance checks, and supply chain movements on KITE’s blockchain – providing real-time, immutable records accessible to governments and partners.
- Smart contracts trigger alerts for metrics like non-compliance or low yields, enabling proactive intervention.
- Ground-Level Assessments:
- Partner with local universities and research institutions (e.g., IPB University, Hasanuddin University) to conduct quarterly surveys of participating communities.
- Use mobile data collection tools (in Bahasa Indonesia and regional languages) to gather feedback on user experience, challenges, and benefits.
- Conduct annual third-party audits to verify metrics and ensure transparency.
- Government Integration:
- Sync KITE’s impact dashboard with government systems (e.g., Kementan’s plantation database, KKP’s fisheries portal) to provide unified data for policy planning.
- Share quarterly impact reports with regional and national governments, including recommendations for program improvement.
3. Reporting & Communication
- Public Dashboards: Launch a dedicated Indonesian-language dashboard (accessible via web and mobile) showing real-time impact metrics for each region and sector – open to governments, partners, and the public.
- Government Reports: Submit bi-annual reports to relevant ministries and regional governments, highlighting progress against targets, challenges faced, and proposed adjustments.
- Community Feedback Sessions: Host regular meetings with smallholder/fisher groups and local leaders to share results, gather input, and celebrate successes (e.g., villages that meet income or sustainability targets).
- Case Studies: Publish detailed case studies of high-impact communities to showcase best practices and secure additional support for scaling.
4. Adaptive Improvement Process
KITE will use impact data to continuously refine its solutions:
- Quarterly Reviews: Joint teams with governments analyze metrics to identify areas for improvement (e.g., adjusting AI agent algorithms for local conditions, simplifying tools for low-literacy users).
- Pilot Adjustments: Scale successful features and modify or phase out less effective ones based on data feedback.
- Policy Alignment: Use impact insights to inform government policy recommendations – for example, advocating for incentives for sustainable practices based on proven income benefits.
5. Verification & Accountability
- Independent Audits: Partner with international audit firms (e.g., BDO Indonesia) and local NGOs (e.g., WALHI, Indonesian Forum for the Environment) to verify impact data and ensure sustainability claims are credible.
- Stakeholder Oversight: Establish a multi-stakeholder committee (including government representatives, community leaders, and partners) to review metrics and guide decision-making.
- Transparency Commitments: Publish all impact data (excluding personal user information) on KITE’s website and government portals to build trust with the public and investors.
By systematically measuring and reporting on impact, KITE aims to demonstrate tangible value for Indonesian communities while providing governments with data-driven insights to advance national development goals.
