IND 1415/ FP 001901 - FSS Assessment

As part of the Colors of Nature Project Avani- one of the implementing partners and a non-certified producer - wants to check their current status of conformity with the FSS criteria to evaluate which gaps they have to close to get certified. For non-certified producers, the FSS developed the FOSSEM (Food Security Sensitive Management) that provides a stepwise approach leading to full conformity with FSS criteria over time. Avani has been working with artisans since 1997. Currently it is working with farmers and other marginal communities in developing sustainable value-chains vis a vis enterprise. The number of actual farmers who are interested to sell raw materials to produce natural dyes amounts at 300 smallholder farmers, mainly using family workforce for the crop production. The agriculture is generally rainfed and farmers grow lentils, vegetables. The farms are located in Pithoragarh district. Welthungerhilfe is seeking to engage an independent auditor to conduct the FSS Assessment/Audit for Avani’s smallholder farmer network in Pithoragarh district, with a focus on human rights and social auditing, complemented by an additional questionnaire developed for FSS impact-reporting purposes via a digital tool. This includes one-on-one (1:1) interviews with smallholders and stakeholders to verify the overall context of the region on the ground.
