Governance

In mExtension, the solution provider and service provider need to keep information updated regularly. Where funding agencies are involved, transparent fund flow is necessary along with internal monitoring and eventual external evaluation. Since numerous stakeholders are involved, with different roles, there should be regular follow-up of work done to ensure proper coordination.

Costs involved

Costs will vary depending on the scale of the project, services provided, and model, but generally fall under the following headings:

• infrastructure development and procurement 
• staffing 
• awareness creation and training 
• maintenance of infrastructure 
• costs to generate, curate, evaluate, localise and customise information.
