Development in Africa Course Description The course is introduced by defining important concepts and theories of Appropriate Technology, emphasizing that it is technology that is appropriate, most suitable, practicable, and result oriented. It reviews the most dominant, but simple technologies used at local community levels. These include patterns of industrial and trade regimes in Africa, technologies used in rural energy production and consumption, water resource management technologies, and inter-agency collaboration in rural development activities, using these appropriate technologies. The course concludes by examining the gender dynamics and rural governance systems as critical thresholds for the understanding of appropriate technology use, and development prospects in Africa.
