Intermediate Technology Transfer Unit - A handbook on operations (Paperback)

A network of Intermediate Technology Transfer Units (ITTUs) has been established within Ghana, serving to foster and develop small-scale informal industry. Since the founding of the first ITTU in 1980 the idea has flourished with such units being set up throughout Ghana.;The objective of the Intermediate Technology Transfer Unit is to introduce artisans to new production techniques and the manufacture of new products. It consists of a group of basic engineering workshops located in the heart of an informal industrial area, engaging in such processes as metal machining, welding and blacksmithing. The ITTU is a dynamic operation, handing over activities to its clients as they become competent, and moving to explore new activities. It also functions commercially thus testing the viability of its activites.;This handbook provides detailed guidance on the workings of the unit. Whilst its primary purpose is to serve as a training manual for those involved in the operation of ITTUs, it also aims to introduce the ides to a wider audience, perhaps inspiring otehrs to reproduce the practice elsewhere.
