Global programs / Global project 936-5428 · 1983–1992 · Appropriate Technology International (ATI)
Eight case studies of successful applications of appropriate technology are presented to demonstrate that small, low-cost, sustainable solutions benefiting large numbers of people are possible. Specifically, the technology applications discussed are: Mark II handpumps, bamboo tube wells, and women's pappad processing cooperative enterprises in India; oral rehydration therapy, worldwide; water pumping windmill industry in Argentina; bamboo-reinforced concrete rainwater storage tanks in Thailand; labor-intensive rural access road building in Kenya; and rural small farm implements components manufacture in Tanzania. Included in most case studies are descriptions of: the technology used; the magnitude of impact; the dissemination/funding scheme used; economic, environmental, and social/cultural considerations; user participation and understanding; and reasons for success. References are provided at the end of each case study, several of which are illustrated.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.

Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: district; squares are facilities.

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
