There are additional issues to those typically encountered in developed countries when transferring technology from developed to developing countries. However, it was found possible to derive a range of selection criteria, which can be modified for any particular situation. It was found that the paper-based systems, because of their robustness and ease of use, were more appropriate for developing countries. However, it is believed the effort should be made to use computer-based systems where viable, because of their extra features and reporting facilities.
