Seed to Runway

USSD labour-logging, wage-verification, and origin-traceability for East African fibre cooperatives — built for the EU's incoming supply-chain due-diligence regime.

Stage: concept, seeking partners. The architecture and a demo dashboard exist. There is no live deployment and no signed cooperative partner yet. This page describes the design and the regulatory case, not an operating system.

The Design

Workers register against a stable identity — not a device — and log hours and wages over a 2G shortcode from any handset they can borrow. Abuse can be reported silently, flagging a site without exposing the worker.

Each step from fibre to finished garment can be timestamped on the rail and mapped to a GS1-compliant Digital Product Passport at export.

Regulatory Framing
CSDDD & CSRD Corporate sustainability due-diligence and reporting obligations covering labour conditions and human-rights risk in the supply chain.
ESPR / Digital Product Passport Product-level traceability and disclosure for textiles under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and its Digital Product Passport.
Note on EUDR EUDR covers only cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soy, and wood — not cotton or textile fibre. We therefore cite ESPR/DPP and CSDDD for fibre traceability, never EUDR.
