Through IoT, all devices become Internet connected. These connected devices are controlled by largescale Internet services (which make their decisions based on the data retrieved from the devices). The application of IoT is possible in many different domains, but impact through IoT is quite often dependent on the human changing his behaviour. In a developing context, IoT holds great potential.

The presented framework aids application developers, funders and government agencies to make more effective first choices in establishing IoT.enInternet of ThingsIoTBehavioural changeSustainable developmentChange barriersConference PresentationCoetzee, L., & Eksteen, J.
