Indigenous Technological Capability in Africa: The Case of Textiles and Wood Products in Kenya

Steven Langdon

A chapter in Technological Capability in the Third World, 1984, pp 355-374 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This analysis examines indigenous technological capability (ITC) — its meaning, its origin, its impact, and the impediments to it — in two industries in Africa. Textile production and wood manufacturing are the industries under scrutiny, and the evidence reviewed is drawn mainly from Kenya. This evidence was gathered from field research late in 1980.
