Practical Action is an international NGO that uses technology to challenge poverty in developing countries.
They are interested in finding out what people are doing and
then help them to do it better. Practical Action, through technology, has
continued to enable poor communities build on their skills and knowledge to
produce sustainable and practical solutions that will transform their lives and
protect the world around them.
Practical Action further provides
high quality independent research and professional advice to clients including
Governments, International Development Agencies, NGOs and private sector
entities for the purpose of poverty reduction in countries in Africa, Asia and
South America. They operate in two main strategic areas of technology and
development: Rural and Urban Infrastructure and Increasing Enterprise
Opportunities and Access to Markets
Just like
ALIN, Practical Action has energy and climate change issues in the core of
their programmes. They provide practical
power i.e., renewable, locally-sourced sustainable energy solutions which
help lift people out of poverty leading to better access to education and other basic services,
improvement of health and wellbeing, especially for women and children.

Using this second arm, ALIN and

through the Maarifa Centers. This will be through the Practical Answers Project
