Chapter 13 in Appropriate Technologies for Third World Development, 1979, pp 250-264 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The multilateral financial agencies influence technologies in developing countries in a large number of ways, some conscious, many inadvertent, most peripheral. On balance, their influence on the appropriateness of the technologies adopted appears to have been beneficial, largely as a result of their insistence on operational efficiency.
