Bridging the technology gap
The transfer of technology has often been unsuccessful because the donor agency involved has been unaware of the realities of life in developing countries. This article describes the work of Appropriate Technology International (in the USA) in identifying technologies which will becommercially viable, and the work of the regional networking organizations, Approtech Asia and Technonet Asia, in sharing successful technologies between developing countries. Developing country governments are seen to play an important role in supporting science and technology and in training
industrial extension officers, but the emphasis must be upon research institutions that concentrate upon the development and commercialization of results which will have relevance for enterprises.
