The Inclusive Business Scan | Rikolto

A SenseMaker-based scan to measure the inclusion of smallholders in agricultural supply chains. The tool was developed together with Rikolto (formerly VECO/Vredeseilanden) and used in Senegal, Indonesia, Nicaragua and DR Congo.

The Inclusive Business Scan is a SenseMaker-based approach to gain insights into inclusive business principles within a smallholder supply chain. By collecting the experiences of many smallholder farmers on the inclusivity of a supply chain, self-interpreted at the point of origin, the Inclusive Business Scan offers a practical tool for organising real-time feedback from smallholder farmers in formal markets.

The IB Scan offers companies, producer organisations, NGOs, and service providers a fast and efficient monitoring tool to measure the inclusivity of a particular business model as it is perceived by smallholder farmers. The IB Scan gives a voice to those who are often not reached or heard during monitoring, analysis, decision-making, or action planning.
