<title>Tinker, tiller, technical change : technologies from the people / edited by Matthew Gamser, Helen Appleton and Nicola Carter.</title>
<description><![CDATA[London, UK : Intermediate Technology Publications ; [1990] Abstract: Why do so many attempts to introduce &#8216;western&#8217; technologies into poor communities end in failure? Certainly not because poor people resist change, or because they are unwilling to work with new machines and ideas. Poor communities are, in fact, centres of innovation. The poorer and more desperate the situation, the greater the need to innovate. To cease to change is to cease to survive. Technical assistance often fails to bring change because it fails to work with local innovation and innovators. When the &#8216;experts&#8217; do not recognize that technological development is taking place locally, or take the time to understand how local investigations are organized and supported, opportunities to benefit from local knowledge, experience, and creatively are lost. Tinker, Tiller, Technical Change seeks to raise awareness of people&#8217;s innovation. Its authors consider 17 cases of locally developed technologies from 14 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. They examine who are the innovators, how they work, what motivates them, and what constrains their productivity. On a regional and a global level they consider how technical assistance work can make better use of this powerful resource for change. &#8211;Page 4 of cover. Six case studies are from Africa: The coffee pulper in northern Tanzania, by Simon R. Nkonoki; Residue stoves in Kenya, by Mohammed Mwamadzingo; The grate cooking system in Zimbabwe, by Mthuli Ncube; Salt from sit in Sierra Leone, by J.G.M.
