摘要

The paper deals with the conditions in the 'informal sector' primarily exemplified by present conditions in the East African region. It concentrates on three case studies which are typically 'good' projects seen from an overall point of view. Those projects are: the UTUNDU program - a program specifically designed to promote the village blacksmiths of Tanzania who are representing a strategic productive force in the Tanzanian development program; the fishery program - a soft technology solution to an integrated small scale fishery set-up for tropical coastal societies; and the sister industries agreement - a program whereby know-how, technology, management etc. from an industry in an industrialized country is transferred to a similar industry in a developing country through a special agreement.
