Delivering an appropriate solutionWhat are the possibilities in

terms of enabling factors (coverage, connectivity,

electricity)? What are the current levels of

access to technology?

What are the information needs of the various stakeholder groups?

How will these needs evolve? What local skills are available? How will solution be maintained? Is the equipment protected against physical conditions?

Has the system been tested with all stakeholders? Have training materials been developed with the community?

Is the support organisation able tosupport all stakeholders (e.g. Gender issues) Do you have local Champions?
