The problem we're built for.
Billions of shillings of seedlings are distributed across Uganda every year by governments, NGOs and bilateral donor programmes — yet typical survival rates without follow-up sit at 20-30%. Funders have no live audit trail of where their money went or whether the trees they paid for are still alive six months later.
Nurseryz.io is the digital infrastructure layer that closes that gap. We turn every distributed seedling into a tracked, advised and verified productive asset — with real-time dashboards shared with funders, government and carbon markets.
What we promise: Live survival heatmaps, automated ghost-farmer detection, Gold Standard / Plan Vivo / REDD+ eligibility tracking, and donor-ready PDF reports — out of the box, from the first distribution onwards.
Four guarantees, one platform.
District Survival Heatmaps
Updated in real time as field officers, SMS replies and QR scans arrive. Drill from country → district → sub-county → farmer.
Ghost Farmer Detection
Five rules running hourly: duplicate phone, duplicate national ID, uncontacted >60 days, calendar anomaly, suspicious concentration. Critical flags require super-admin sign-off.
Carbon Credit Proof-of-Life
Survival + advisory + GPS + photo data hits Gold Standard, Plan Vivo and REDD+ verification gates — auditable, timestamped, immutable.
Donor-Ready PDF Reports
Monthly auto-generated reports + CSV exports — meeting EU, World Bank and bilateral donor reporting templates out of the box.
The three checkpoints between distribution and a verified credit.
Every carbon standard has its own thresholds. We track all three simultaneously and surface eligibility per cohort in real time.
| Standard | Survival coverage | Photo | GPS | $/tCO₂ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Standard VER | ≥ 90% | ≥ 80% | ≥ 95% | $18–25 |
| Plan Vivo | ≥ 80% | ≥ 60% | ≥ 85% | $12–18 |
| REDD+ | ≥ 70% | ≥ 50% | ≥ 90% | $8–14 |
A 10,000-seedling agroforestry programme with 89% survival and full evidence coverage projects to ~$163,000 in Gold Standard credits over three years at current indicative prices.

Scope & sandbox
We onboard your existing beneficiary list, set up the programme entity, and provision a sandbox dashboard with your real data. You see exactly what audit-grade looks like before committing.
Field officer training
Your district staff get trained on the mobile field-visit interface, QR scanning, GPS capture, and the photo proof-of-life flow. Average training time: 90 minutes per officer.
SMS advisory live
Farmer cohort opted in via SMS double-opt-in. First week-2 reminder dispatched. WhatsApp bot active for smartphones. Inbound SMS replies parsed into survival cache.
First audit-ready PDF
Monthly donor report generated automatically. Ghost-farmer scan runs hourly. Funder dashboard receives first 30-day snapshot. Pilot decision: continue or extend.
Programme-priced. Transparent.
Funder pricing scales with seedlings under management, not seats. Below is an indicative quote for a typical regional programme — adjusted for scope at scoping call.
Payment in tranches against milestones: 30% on contract, 40% at end of pilot, 30% on first donor report delivered. UGX or EUR billing available. Custom data-residency arrangements (in-region hosting) available at no extra charge for cohorts above 50,000 seedlings.
Built in Uganda. Designed for institutional accountability.
- Built locally. The team works alongside Lango sub-region cooperatives, UCDA officers and EU Green Deal partners. Not a US-based "Africa solution."
- SMS-first. WhatsApp is great where smartphones exist. SMS reaches every farmer regardless of device — and that's most of them.
- Cross-funder isolation enforced at the database. When World Bank and EU fund overlapping districts, your data slice is your data slice — full stop.
- PDPA + GDPR aligned. Uganda's Data Protection & Privacy Act 2019 plus EU GDPR for EU-funded programmes. Sub-processor list available on request.
- Open methodology. Our carbon eligibility calculations, ghost-detection rules and survival math are published openly. Audit-grade reporting starts with audit-grade methodology.
- Honest survival math. We surface overall survival (surviving / distributed) as the headline number — not the of-the-surveyed optimistic version that inflates donor reports.
Programmes already running on the platform.
- EU Green Coffee — Lango Sub-Region. 120,000-seedling commitment across 7 districts. Q1 2026 cycle. EU Green Deal partnership.
- UCDA × World Bank Cocoa Programme. Multi-region rollout under Uganda's Agri-Industrialisation framework.
- Government district nurseries. MAAIF, UCDA, NAADS, NFA in operational conversation; pilot deployments scheduled FY26.
Programme-specific case studies and references available under NDA on request.
