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?
