Technologies for Economic Development

Cooperating Partners

	TED co-operates closely with BORDA (Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association). BORDA has started it's SADC initiative, which aims to establish decentralised and community based wastewater and sanitation solutions (DEWATS-CBS) in Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. This initiative is coordinated from the TED-BORDA cooperation office in Maseru/Lesotho. BORDA has an outstanding record of development and implementation of DEWATS/CBS solutions in the countries of the South and is the ideal partner to profit from TED's biogas technology, which is being integrated into BORDA's modular system of wastewater technologies. We are proud to partner with this experienced organisation to bring sustainable wastewater and sanitation solutions to Africa.
	Biogas for Better Life, An African Initiative is a multi-organisation initiative which aims to have 2 million biogas plants installed and 800 private biogas companies and 200 biogas appliances manufacturing workshops operating by the year 2020. TED provides local expertise to the Initiative and will carry out a feasibility study for the up-scaling of domestic biogas in Lesotho. Btw. the picture on the front cover of the Initiative's brochure (PDF, 2.1 MB) shows TED workers in action !
