Abstract
Technology transfer requires long-term and wide-ranging investment beyond information sharing and training. Transfer is concerned with adapting technology to given socioeconomic and technical environments but it is also the development of suitable mechanisms within the destination environment. Risk sharing and institutional development are required to achieve sustainable transfer. Micro-hydro technology in Nepal is an example of successful technology transfer over 20 years of in-country adaptation, promotion and training by international and Nepali technical, financial and development institutions. The success and disappointments of the sectorprovide useful lessons for technology transfer programs. The paper arises from original research, personal experience of Nepal's micro-hydro sector and a review of associated literature.
