Abstract
This research investigates possible scalability factors that influence
an ICT4D project. By performing a literature study on four strands
of literature, which include: technical literature (1), development
studies (2), technology adoption (3) and ICT4D literature (4), it was
found that there are seventeen factors that need to be accounted for
in the development process. Furthermore, a general outline of an
ICT4D development process is presented and scalability factors are
related to phases in this ICT4D process. Future research could focus
on validating these factors by using them in a development cycle
and determining the precise influence, rather than determining an
overall positive or negative influence.
