Scaling climate information services and climate smart agriculture through bundled business models by Desire M. Kagabo, Livingstone Byandaga, Patrick Gatsinzi, Patrick Mvuyibwami, Yvonne U. Munyangeri, Nasson Ntwari, Mathieu Ouedraogo

Eleven CIS-CSA bundled business models with publicly available quantitative scaling readiness data (financial capacity, the number of customers, customer categories, and the number of beneficiaries) were used to quantitatively model how different CIS-CSA products and services bundling strategies, the revenue stream structure of a CIS-CSA business, and the structure of a CIS-CSA business’s stakeholder network (the diversity of its stakeholders) affect its scaling readiness. …”
