Special Series Focuses on Appropriate Technology in Africa


Inexpensive available resources can help alleviate poverty

Our series introduces the concept of appropriate technology and presents successful examples of its use in Africa. Check our online stories on irrigation in eastern Africa, rainwater tanks in Uganda, fuel-efficient stoves in Sudan, and wind power in Ghana.
