2020 ECHO Appropriate Technology Virtual Fair

Inspired by our Regional Impact Center in East Africa, ECHO first hosted an Appropriate Technology Fair at our annual International Agriculture Conference in 2019, featuring over 20 different technologies. Our delegates explored and interacted with these tools, expanding possibilities. In keeping with the spirit of last year's event, ECHO took the Appropriate Technology Fair online.

We heard from East Africa Regional Impact Center Director, Erwin Kinsey, and Harold Msanya, Appropriate Technology Coordinator. Together they discussed their experience in Creative Capacity Building. Organizations and practitioners from ECHO's network discussed how they have utilized technology in their context.
