PARTICIPATORY TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT (PTD) APPROACH IN NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
BACKGROUND
• Economic development depends critically on natural resources that are fragile and being rapidly degraded;
• links between poverty, economic incentives, institutional weaknesses in government, and destruction of natural resources more visible than in other least developed countries;
• despite $4.5 billion of aid for projects affecting natural resources, resource degradation continues, and country's scope for improving living standards diminishes (World Bank report, 2008).
INTRODUCTION
• participation of local people at various stages during development of technology;
• modern attempt to revive quite established, traditional and indigenous cultural and institutional mechanisms for managing and conserving the natural environment (Croll
and Parkin 1992; Berkes et al. 1998).
AIMS
• Protection of natural resources.
• Sustainable utilization of resources.

ADVANTAGES OF PTD IN FEDERAL SYSTEM
• Helps to combine traditional skills with scientists’ knowledge to develop an appropriate technology for sustainable management of natural resources;
• Ensures participation and empowerment of locals in the development process;
• Initiates economic growth by the sustainable use of natural resources.
