Abstract

Suggests that external inputs and interventions can be beneficial or a waste of resources, depending on many complex factors which are interrelated. Deals with how the approach used in the transfer of technology from an industrialized country to a developing country can be beneficial. The direct involvement of Finnish expertise in a remote region of Tanzania, to improve the water supply, when reverting to grassroots participation, led to positive results. Observes, in hindsight, that giving more space for local initiatives would have led to less dependence on foreign expertise and to faster growth of the indigenous engineering capacity.
