为发展中国家进行设计面临着独特的挑战。与当地合作伙伴建立融洽关系对于克服环境不熟悉和确保提出的解决方案的相关性非常重要。在本文中，我们讨论了我们为危地马拉Barillas的农村咖啡合作社Asobagri设计基于cam的移动数据捕获系统的经验。CAM是一个基于相机的移动应用程序框架，其设计基于对印度农村小额信贷团体的实地考察。我们在印度的当地合作伙伴现在正在实际应用CAM框架。我们列出了一些帮助我们建立和维持这两种设计关系的实践。
Designing for the developing world presents unique challenges. Establishing rapport with local partners is important to overcome contextual unfamiliarity and ensure the relevance of proposed solutions. In this paper, we discuss our experiences designing a CAM-based mobile data capture system for Asobagri, a rural coffee cooperative in Barillas, Guatemala. CAM is a camera-based mobile application framework designed based on fieldwork with rural microfinance groups in India. Our local partners in India are now using the CAM framework in a real application. We list some practices that have helped us establish and sustain both these design relationships.
