About KijaniSpace
The KijaniSpace project is a cutting-edge initiative leveraging Space and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to transform agriculture.
KijaniSpace, meaning “Green Space” in Swahili, is a groundbreaking collaboration between African and European partners. The project integrates Copernicus Earth Observation (EO) data and IoT technologies into a unique solution platform known as KijaniBox. This platform aims to empower smallholder farmers with actionable insights for crop and fish farming, enhancing productivity and resilience against climate challenges.
Needs Assessment of KijaniBox in Lake Victoria Basin
The needs assessment phase is critical in ensuring that our technology solution – KijaniBox – meets the unique requirements of end-users.
But our ambition is higher. We also aim to exceed the requirements and achieve WOW effects.
The KANO model – end-user satisfaction framework
The technology solution features can be categorized using the KANO model as follows:
- Must-Have Features (Basic Needs): These are essential technologies or practices that ensure basic agricultural productivity and resilience to climate change.
- Performance Features (One-Dimensional Needs): These features directly enhance productivity and profitability when improved.
- Delighters (Attractive Needs): These are innovative features that exceed expectations and create excitement. They are the features that create the WOW effect.
The KANO model focuses on the features of the product, but the assessment focus must still be on the needs of the end user. We want to build features that do meet the needs of the end user.
