For example, Peru's national budget is characterized as being aimed at essential and valuable services only, a bare bones budget, and connectivity, relative to total population has been modest. Zambia's budget is even more stringent, aiming at essential services only. The proposed approach permits comparisons of this type between national policies and their results. The second part of the paper discusses some of the empirical evidence that helps to predict the results of services like those described in the first part. By concentrating on some of the user-centered studies of network use from the journals in fields like cognitive psychology, sociology, communications and public policy, it is possible to make even sharper distinctions between implementation strategies in developing nations.
Strategy is more important than structure.
This furnishes an excellent opportunity to evaluate the variables as predictors of success. Results for two of the countries are already available and indicate that the provision of essential-only services at first and the use of extensive training and followup have a major role in implementation success.
