This Project was established in 2002. The main activities of CTDD are development and application of innovative technology, research and technology transfer with the aim of uplifting social-economic development of Uganda in sustainable manner. The CTDD is the backbone link between the community, industry and CEDAT.
Although Uganda is endowed with abundant natural resources, poverty still persists, particularly in the rural areas. The Government of Uganda, over the past decade put in great effort to improve the standard of living of the rural communities. However, this effort has not been accompanied by a matching transfer of technology to the communities. The CTDD would like to develop capacity in technical, socio-economic, cultural and political aspects of technology transfer from other countries to Uganda, and also within different parts of Uganda.

Our aim is to develop technologies and systems that have a direct, positive impact on people’s everyday lives. Along these lines, we promote technology transfer from researchers to society through pilot project implementation, training programmes and public awareness initiatives. This is done in order to bridge the missing link between researchers, the business community, funding agencies and the general public. Activities and Services
