Malawi is located in sub-saharan Africa and shares borders with Mozambique, Tanzania, and Zambia. It is listed as one of the top 10 lowest GDPs in the world. Many aid efforts have been invested to develop, promote, and disseminate appropriate technology throughout Malawi. This webpage compiles various common local technologies, as well as different organizations, businesses, and institutions that are promoting/that have promoted appropriate technology.
yuhhhhhhh
Although technologies have been manufactured and tested across Malawi, still, many are not in use due to unavailability or unfamiliarity with the tools or maintenance and spare parts. More efforts must be made to disseminate not only the technologies, but also the knowledge and techniques regarding proper use, maintenance, and construction. Greater commercial availability of tools in remote areas may spread usage.
