At the very early phase of implementation of the B-Tech project, the consultation provided an opportunity to present and familiarize participants with the scope and overall purpose of the project. The project’s methodology very much emphasized the need to understand and reflect differentiated impact from new technologies in diverse geographies. As such, the consultation also provided the opportunity to have an initial dialogue around key questions for each focus areas of the project and gather initial input on how/which of these questions are the most interesting to explore/most challenging in the Southern African context.
