HARNESSING HOME-GROWN TECHNOLOGY FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: A REVIEW
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2024, Vol 9, Issue 01
Abstract
This paper aims to examine the potential of homegrown technology in promoting national development in developing countries. The paper argues that while technology produced in the developed world has brought certain benefits to developing countries, harnessing homegrown technology for national development in developing countries can bring more lasting and meaningful benefits. Specifically, the paper makes a case for using homegrown technology to facilitate economic development, strengthen local governance, and provide access to healthcare and education. The paper begins by discussing current trends in technology diffusion in developing countries. It then goes on to provide an overview of the advantages of domestic technology for national development. Next, the paper outlines some of the challenges associated with using homegrown technology. Finally, the paper concludes with a review of recent initiatives that have been successful in harnessing homegrown technology for national development. the paper highlights that homegrown technology can be an effective tool for promoting national development. It argues that national governments should encourage local technological development and use homegrown technology to facilitate economic growth, strengthen local governance, and provide access to healthcare and education. Further research is needed to assess the impact of homegrown technology and devise strategies for maximizing its potential to drive national development in developing countries.
