The third newsletter of the African Technology Assessment Platform (AfriTAP) has been released, highlighting recent developments in various technology areas, including geoengineering, agriculture, genetics, and digital technologies. AfriTAP is a collaborative effort by African and international civil society groups to monitor and respond to the impacts of new technologies on society and the environment. The initiative is spearheaded by HOMEF (Nigeria), CESAO (West Africa), Terre a Vie (Burkina Faso), IRPAD (Mali), and ETC Group (international), with the aim of expanding into a continent-wide network. The goal is to keep a watchful eye on new technologies being introduced to Africa and to provide civil society organizations with relevant information to evaluate, strategize, and mobilize.
