Low-cost, Low-energy technologies for Development in Africa

Hi Adesina,

Techonoly that is sustainable is good for Afric to develop and just as you have put it, Consideration needs to be put on sustainability. The question would be how do we ensure design and development of sustainable technology reaches Africa. In Uganda there are energey projects of fuel driven to enhance more communities have power however the challenge is this is not sustuainable given the increasing fuel price and that Uganda has to transport fuel from Mombasa to Uganda a land locked country in Africa.

The Issue to attitude adn gain relationship between some corrupt government officials verse development is one other component that needs to be checked. Most African leaders have been very open to investors with huge funds from bribing them even though the technology introduced is not sustainable and developmental. this are behavoirs that kill development in Africa.

Government priorities are other aspects, In Uganda forcus is on Security and others follow and yet Uganda has many water falls and thermal powere mechanisims becuase of industries in the country.

ensuring Developing countries gets technologies sustainable needs adquate research, transperences, openines, and other factors of applicability.
