Peter Weir’s collection of appropriate technologies
One of the most useful sites on the internet
for technologies suitable for local application within the framework of
projects under the Model is the CD3WD site run by Peter Weir in
Peter Weir's work can be accessed through his index of single issue
CD3WD file groups.
Peter Weir’s entire website can be downloaded.
Because of its size, many local operators in developing countries may not be
able to do this. If you have colleagues and friends busy with grass-roots
development work who are interested in these technologies, download the site,
copy it onto CD’s and send them to them. They form a high quality constructive
gift. Your colleagues and friends will be grateful.
