The Technology Assessment Framework
A tool for national governments, local governments, donors, private sector…..
Helps assess if a technology is appropriate or not
Helps to analyse, plan and monitor introduction process
Involves all relevant stakeholders in different phases of assessment process
Triggers direct exchange between sector actors

The Technology Assessment Framework
First stage: ◦Selection of of target area and of key actors,
fieldwork to collect data for screening on “need” and “applicability”
Second stageFieldwork for assessment indicators: Financial Social Environmental Legal/institutional Knowledge/skills Technology
Perspectives of:-User/Buyer-Producer/Provider-Regulator/Supervisor

The Technology Assessment Framework
Third stage: ◦ Scoring workshop produces profile based
on set of guided questions
◦ Scores and profile developed in group
workshop, assuring higher transparency
of result
◦ Profile indicates key areas of risks and
potential improvements of technology and
introduction process
◦ TAF: final TAF Result Sheet with
comprehensive interpretation and specific
recommendation
