What the paper says

Some participation and collaboration problems between local beneficiaries and foreign experts in international development projects (IDPs) are due to two groups using different types of knowledge: indigenous and global respectively. Study proposes creating locally low cost indigenous knowledge expert systems and startups incrementally to solve participation and collaboration problems that can be evolved and scaled up in a sustainable way. Method nexus for evolutionary prototyping product and startup creation is explored. Future IDPs will be supported by artificial intelligence enabled tools requiring some basic local AI understanding. Complementary indigenous knowledge expert systems can create synergy with IDPs artificial intelligence systems but will require local ES development capabilities to be built and evolved in advance.
