Current perceptions of the impact of technology development and transfer (TDT) are often negative, describing few links between TDT and income-generating activity. To inform TDT investment decisions, USAID commissioned a set of studies to measure the people-level impacts of TDT in sub- Saharan Africa, as well as the accomplishments of TDT in achieving national-level impacts. The Symposium on the Impact of Technology on Agricultural Transformation in Sub-Saharan Africa funded by AID/AFR/ARTS and AID/RD/EID under the Michigan State University Food Security Cooperative Agreements, was held in Washington, D.C., Oct. 14-16, 1992, to report on results from these and other relevant impact assessments. A primary purpose of the symposium was to present evidence which would either confirm or contradict the perception that the accomplishments of TDT were insufficient to justify continued funding. A secondary objective was to consider the adequacy of available analytical tools for impact assessment.
