The second half of YEAR-4 of FEBA’s project Quantifying the Impact of European Food Banks has been initiated in Athens (Greece) with a meeting of the Project Team and Food Bank Greece. From 7 to 9 June, a series of working sessions were organised, focusing on different topics but all geared towards the objective of adapting the online Observatory on Food Donation, which FEBA launched in 2020 to collect valid and accurate data from its members coherently and securely, for the use at the regional/local level.
As the pilot country for this endeavour, Food Bank Greece gave an overview of the activities of the nine Food Banks belonging to its network and explained the requirements that the online data collection platform should fulfil to facilitate the entry of information by local co-workers. Based on this, the Project Team discussed the technical features that will be developed to cater to these needs. Additionally, the related process of training the local Food Bankers to expand technical skills and foster digital transformation.
