The Australian Development Gateway (ADG) strives to support members of the development community in their efforts to reduce poverty and enhance sustainable development in the Asia Pacific region. The site has been created with participation from members of government, private, academia and non-government organisations. User feedback mechanisms have been incorporated to guide future directions of the site.

Checkpoint 4: Is the ICT driven project scalable?

The ICT-based project, if it is to be more than a pilot, has to have the capacity to be replicated in other locations or settings so that its success can be extended.

This requires not only paying attention to the technical specifications of the equipment used. It also refers to consideration of:

  • the capacities and reach of the supporting infrastructure,
  • the availability of technical skills in other locations, and
  • the supporting regulatory framework related to the use of ICT.

The principle of scalability refers to the capacity of the project's design to operate on a national level, able to meet the challenges that this would involve.
