By Professor Sir Gordon Conway and Professor Jeff Waage, with Sara Delaney. Published by UKCDS January 2010.
ISBN: 978 1 84129 0829

Scientific education, knowledge and research are crucial to solving development challenges.

Science as a tool for providing evidence and discovering solutions has been neglected recently by many key decision makers, Science and Innovation for Development aims to play a part in changing that.

A really useful and comprehensive book.

 With regard to the low-tech part, there is more in my posting on Reachable Technology.

On should discuss how to better make innovations accessible, especilayy for the poor.
