Our approach to profiling beneficiaries.
We focus on profiling various groups of beneficiaries by collecting data about them. The data includes, but is not limited to: bio data; production data; livelihood data; access to technology and services like finance, insurance; and specific location. This is data that is needed for the design and development; implementation; Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning of a wide array of developmental projects.

Our profiling entails working with our wide network of field agents to compile bulk information aimed at uncovering prospects in any one situation where our stakeholders identify themselves with the beneficiary, or topic in question and are stimulated to think of appropriate, wholesome and sustainable strategies.

Our profiling, therefore, includes comprehensive capturing of evident-based metrics, digital/GPS mapping and real-time parameters aggregated to enhance more individualized and timely interventions. Data may be small but big in combination and that is the reason our profiles are geared at enforcing extrapolative, prescriptive and cognitive data analytics.

Our Agripreneurial Agent Network Model.
A network of field agents – youths of the community are recruited as core agents, trained and deployed under different projects to collect data.

The structure includes over 212 agents, 4 regional coordinators and enumerators spread across the country.

The core agents bring onboard other peers – youth and women through training as last-mile task force to reach out to communities in larger geographical spread.

aXiom Zorn supports the agent network in the identification of opportunities along value chains that agripreneurial agents claim for sustainability.
