Conference Sudanese Diaspora International Conference (1st : 2009 : Brighton, England)
Title The role of diaspora in technology transfer and achieving sustainable development in Sudan / edited by Allam Ahmed ; First Sudanese Diaspora International Conference ; UNESCO Chair on Transfer of Technology (UNESCOTT) [and] World Association for Sustainable Development (WASD) [and] Science and Technology Policy Research (SPRU), University of Sussex, UK ; Brighton, United Kingdom, 24-25 January 2009.
Publication Info Brighton, UK : WASD, c. 2009.



Descript 1 online resource (xxxvi, 214 p.) : ill., maps.
Note Sudan like much of the rest of the developing world has toyed with and abided by various approaches or strategies to transfer technology (TT) and achieve sustainable development (SD) without reaping any significant socio-economic benefits. The Sudanese diasporic community is relatively large and has a significant impact on Sudan development on account of the size and volume of financial remittances. However, diasporic contribution is largely neglected within national science and technology policies and strategies. Adopting a more holistic approach, the conference aims to provide a stimulus for knowledge exchange and discussion that focuses on issues relating to the role of diaspora in TT and achieving SD to critically examine the relations and links between diaspora, Sudan and host countries, and attempts to outline policy and strategies to support the role of diaspora in developing, creating wealth and achieving SD in Sudan. The conference also aims to learn lessons from the successful communities across the world and emulate the ideas and innovations of these communities by Sudan. This volume includes a wide range (research areas and topics) of papers, projects, proposals and case studies presented during the First Sudanese Diaspora International Conference, held in January 2009 in Brighton, United Kingdom. The seven main sections include: Diaspora Contribution to Home Country; Technology and Scientific Knowledge Transfer; Education, Training and Development; Medical Sciences and Public Health; Engineering Applications and Sustainable Business Excellence; Environment and Waste Management; and Abstracts for Oral Presentations.
