Learning for Development: Participatory Approaches

We are not teachers or transferors of technology, but instead conveyors, catalysts and facilitators. Our role is to enable local people to do their own investigations, analysis, presentations, planning and action, to own the outcome and to teach us, sharing their knowledge. (Robert Chambers, 1995)


Engineers Without Borders Australia works with disadvantaged communities to improve their quality of life through education and the implementation of sustainable and appropriate engineering projects. To achieve its mission EWB focuses on developing the capacity of the local technical sector to ensure that innovative, appropriate and sustainable solutions to issues that impede development are locally generated and driven.
