Summary of what helped it succeedThere was a range of technology related and socio- economic factors which helped to promote the success of projects.
From a technology point-of-view the equipment, although not standardised, was nevertheless “off the shelf” equipment in all of the cases. There was no special design of technology but rather a use of a system made up of “off-the-shelf” components (subsystems). This use of market available equipment meant that there was a support network in terms of training in the use of equipment and repairs. Links with trainers within the country, enabled most organisations to avoid bringing in expertise from overseas.
In addition, a common feature of success from a technology point of view was the development of locally tailored software or the creation of local content.

In terms of technology, all the studies use “off the shelf” ICTs. Sometimes it is the combination of components that leads to the project success – wireless networks working on a hub (Gyandoot).
In addition FOOD were able to resource a reliable and trustworthy internet service payment provider thus securing the trust of on-line buyers.
Regarding socio-economics, there is a much wider range of success factors although there are interesting common elements.
