13. The solution must be carefully thought out.
It must be inclusive of all stakeholders.
• Donor
• Program
• M&E
• IT
• Field Staff
• CHW
• Beneficiary
14. Fight the urge to push the
solution without input of all
stakeholders.
15. The solution must satisfy the program need.
But, it must work in the hands of the User.
29. Scalability
So….Your solution worked!
Can your solution expand to additional
locations?
Hint: Consider “Cloud”-based Software
as a Service” (SaaS) solutions.
