INTRODUCTION

The International Directory of Appropriate Technology Resources isone

of VITA's contributions to efforts underway to facilitate the sharing of

information and technical resources. Inmid-June 1977, VITA staff mailed

a questionnaire to organizations known to be involved insome aspect of

"appropriate technology." Most of the information inthis volume has been

compiled from responses to this survey. Inaddition, to make the 'Directory'

as complete as possible use has been made of information from other direc­
tories and newsletters, such as UK Commonwealth Secretariat's Directory of AT

Institutions, TRANET Newsletter, Rain magazine, and other AT magazines.

This directory is in three parts. Part One lists the organizations

alphabetically by countries. Part Two provides lists of publications,

reports, papers, etc., published by these organizations. Part Three is a

Subject Index to facilitate use of the material.

There are over 250 entries inthis directory, and it is only a beginning.

However, the process of collecting data can never really finish, soit istime

to call a halt and make available what has been compiled to date.

The information collection efforts continue! Ifyou know of organizations

and efforts which should be registered here, please send along a brochure, in­
formation sheet, etc., so that we can add that group. We are purposefully

printing this manual at VITA insmall quantities so that we can add and update

often. A copy of the questionnaire has been inserted for your convenience.
