Rationale
● Principles for Digital Development
● Reduce costs/development time
● Evaluate based on the content – not the technology
● Common technologies and platforms to help sustainability – not project specific apps
● Single process enables Govt. ownership/oversight while accommodating varied/new technologies
● Richer learning content than can be delivered via SMS/IVR
DigitalCampus
Results (so far)
● Ethiopia - high level of engagement from Health Extension Workers
● India – increased take up of family planning methods
● Pakistan – government buy-in for end to end process
● Ghana – Oppia app implemented and extended by local dev team
