AgrAbility for Africa

Feedback from farmers affected by a disability who attended the first AgrAbility for Africa training workshop brings to the fore the gaps that exist in the availability of affordable low-tech assistive technologies. There is a need for innovative craftsmanship and repair of assistive technologies commensurate with local wages in the different parts of rural Africa. Responding to concerns, the leadership of AgrAbility for Africa has donated land to house the first Africa assistive technology lab devoted to carrying out capacity development in the production of low-cost assistive technologies and to promoting the technologies in different parts of Uganda and Africa as a whole.
