Inviting the entire membership, FEBA organised an online meeting on 29 February to kick off the fourth year of its project on Data Collection and Digital Transformation.
30 participants including representatives from 25 FEBA Members joined to get an overview of the goals and activities foreseen in the course of the next months, which are naturally building on the achievements of the previous project year. In line with the core objective of the first semester to further improve the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data on the activities of the Food Banks belonging to the FEBA network, technical modifications to the online data collection platform were presented in a live demo guiding the participants through the system.
In addition, the timeline of the second semester was outlined during which the focus will lie on expanding the use of the online Observatory on Food Donation at the regional/local level. In 2024, Federația Băncilor pentru Alimente din România will join Food Bank Greece in the group of Pilot Members using the data collection platform to collect information from their respective regional/local Food Banks.
An interactive Q&A discussion between the participants concluded the meeting. From 4 March, FEBA Members will submit their 2023 data, which in an aggregated format will paint a comprehensive picture of the scale, scope, and impact of European Food Banks.
