Opis

Africa is rich in natural and human resources, but paradoxically remains dependent on imported technical solutions. This book offers a bold and concrete reflection on the fundamental role that engineering can play in the continent's sustainable development. Through a lucid analysis of the current situation, an ambitious but realistic vision, and contextual courses of action, gloire KABANGE calls for a local technical revolution driven by Africans themselves.The book is aimed at engineers, students, decision-makers, entrepreneurs and all those involved in change who want to build an autonomous, innovative and sovereign Africa. It explores the challenges of the education system, the marginalization of local skills, the brain drain, and the need to anchor engineering in public policy.More than a simple observation, this book is a call to action: to reform technical training, encourage frugal innovation, support technical entrepreneurship and promote African know-how.A reference work in support of Africa's sustainable development.
