Lessons Learned – Innovating for the Citizen


Start with user needs

Think big, start small – pilots are good, but must be able to scale

Solutions must be sustainable, without long-term funding from Government or development partners

Involve private sector early for sustainability, quality and replication

Selectively employ frugal innovation – design for 80% functionality at 50% cost

Measure results early and often

Don’t forget change management and training
