Project poster

This project will explore the problems currently plaguing data collection, data management and data interaction associated with the community and public libraries in the continent of Africa. Following our analysis, through extensive user interviews of all stakeholders involved, we will propose detailed solutions for each touchpoint ( collection, management, and interaction), keeping in mind the environment (Limited access to the internet, Limited Bandwidth, limited resources) in which the stakeholders operate. Our solution will consist of a detailed plan to address all the issues we identify, a timeline to execute all proposed development and a final recommendation for the ideal platform.
