Small Is Working : Technology for Poverty Reduction (PAL)

The Small is Working video and book have been produced in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the publication of Schumacher's influential book Small is Beautiful. Schumacher's ideas stimulated the work of NGOs such as Intermediate Technology Development Group (ITDG) and intergovernmental organizations such as UNESCO in appropriate technology and poverty reduction. Both video and booklet contain examples which demonstrate that human-scale technologies can be an important part of the process of people meeting their needs and realizing their rights in a way that is environmentally and socially sustainable.UNESCO is the author of 'Small Is Working : Technology for Poverty Reduction (PAL)', published 2003 under ISBN 9789231039102 and ISBN 9231039105.
