Information about appropriate technology available to developing
countries is common. What is not often achieved is a flow of the
actual technologies themselves between countries - and the IDEA
Awards aim to stimulate this transfer of useful technology between
needy people in different environments.;This book consists of
profiles of over 80 technical innovations in the field of
development, which represent technologies submitted to the
Innovation for Development Association for their 1990 awards. Five
main subject areas are covered: water, energy, forestry, farming
and fishing, and the criteria for judging the nominations were
sustainability, self-reliance and socio-economic acceptance.;The
main purpose of this book is to disseminate knowledge of
innovations which have been developed and tested in real
environments with real needs, and in close contact with end-users.
Most of the innovations presented have a full page each, some are
illustrated, and all are accompanied by contacts of people and
addresses. These 80 plus innovations will undoubtedly be as useful
as the original hundred ("100 innovations for development") and
having already proved their value once, should prove their
Technical problems require technical solutions that are innovative,
simple, cheap, robust and easy to maintain. This book lists 100
winning inventions in the first International Inventors Award
competition, organized in Stockholm.
