Abstract :
Determination of the outcome of an IT project in a developing nation is often based on sectoral models and highly aggregated data. This paper offers an example of a replicable methodology to go to the grass roots-the user level-to obtain valuable insights from the individual and group data that are masked by the aggregate statistics
