Abstract

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. Results from these and other relevant impact assessments were reported at the Symposium on the Impact of Technology in Sub-Saharan Africa held on Oct. 14-16, 1992, in Washington, D.C. A primary purpose of the symposium was to present evidence that 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 methods of impact assessment. The objective of the current report is to summarize and interpret the symposium results.
