What is the difference between a "humanitarian activity" and "humanitarian technology"? How to determine if a project is humanitarian, and if the technology is appropriate for the setting? Finding a technological solution that answers the local needs and utilizes local resources is vital for any successful humanitarian technology and sustainable development project. Readings, examples, and exercises reinforce this concept, and provide the tools to evaluate projects for appropriate technology.
