What is the role of science and technology in the development process of developing countries?

Need to know inappropriate and appropropriate technology, technological obsolescence technology choice and selection mechanisms in relation to Africa.Dont restrict to information technology but to technology in general.This is a Development studies questionWhat is the role of science and technology in the development process of developing countries?
There are various articles which can be found on google under 'appropriate technology'. This Wikipedia artical appears to cover a wide range of fields in some depth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriate鈥?/a> . My own way of putting it would be technology which fits the particular needs of Africa both in health, educational and economic terms (and the three are closely tied). One has to identify the key areas where limited resources can do the most good. One example of useful new technology may be the emergence of mini and micro gas turbine generators which may be good for electricity generation for important applications in isolated communities.
