Calestous JumaBusiness Daily Africa - Comment: Building engineering capacity key to Africa’s development:
"Development is about finding practical solutions to socio-economic challenges. It entails the use of technical skills and expertise of the kind you find among engineers. Yet engineering has been marginal to development practice over the last three decades.
"This is partly because earlier designs of major infrastructure projects ignored a wide range of critical social, economic, and environmental factors. Large dams, for example, were associated with corruption, ecological harm, and social dislocation."
Comment: Right on, Calestous! JAD
