About

The WASHTech project (2011-2013) worked with local partners in Burkina Faso, Ghana and Uganda to introduce a robust Technology Applicability Framework (TAF) which assesses the potential of innovative technologies at decentralised level. The TAF examines key sustainability criteria such as: how the technology performs, whether buyers and users are interested in the technology (i.e. the market), whether the technology can be applied widely, what support is required from government and private sector. In addition WASHTech developed a Technology Introduction Process (TIP) which provides guidance on the roles and activities needed for successful scaling up of technologies.
