Thematic areas The initial work axis has been the theme of rural/urban development and focused on the environmental-energy-basic sanitation theme, considering that energy is a key element to achieve the sustainable development of all sectors. TECHNOLOGIES IN DEVELOPMENT (TeD ), from a broad, supportive and active perspective, seeks to promote greater and more rational use of energy and the environment in Bolivia, through the diversification of supply sources and their efficient use, contributing this way to the conservation of the environment. The institution mainly provides technical assistance that enables target groups to improve their initial conditions and satisfy their basic needs, increase the standard of living and support production, promoting quality and efficiency. The target group of TECHNOLOGIES IN DEVELOPMENT (TeD ) is:
peasant families with unmet demands in terms of basic services, energy and inadequate conditions for their productivity or way of life.
the groups of professionals that provide services in rural and urban areas.
the rural and marginal urban population that can benefit from renewable energies, basic sanitation and energy savings, by making rational use of them.
populations that involve coexistence with fauna and flora. The work with the target groups is coordinated with the respective Municipalities, associations and/or communities, seeking active participation from these institutional levels, and seeking to ensure that the development of the different projects is consistent with national and regional development policies. and municipal, and it is possible to interact in an effective and real way in this institutional framework. TECHNOLOGIES IN DEVELOPMENT ( TeD ) 3 TECHNOLOGIES IN DEVELOPMENT (TeD ) , through its activities, covers aspects related to the process of project identification and execution, financial analysis, management, productive uses, interinstitutional coordination and development planning, through the execution of 6 programs that interrelate institutional objectives and potential with the demands of the environment. These strategic programs are: ✓ Rural Energy-Environmental Development (DER). Program thematically concentrated on rural planning, work with rural municipalities and the management of isolated rural energy systems. ✓ Resources and Environment Assessment (EREMA). Program responsible for the study and evaluation of energy potentials, behavior and performance of different end-use technologies, improvement and/or change of technologies, etc., together with the identification, evaluation and mitigation of environmental impacts of energy use, among them the mitigation and physical and economic accounting of greenhouse gas emissions. ✓ Training and Promotion ( CyP ). Program that works fundamentally on the production of information, documentation and its dissemination in the environment, as well as on the training and development of human resources under a selective perspective and differentiated strategies according to the strata of interest, in the different topics developed by TECHNOLOGIES IN DEVELOPMENT . ✓ Support for the Development of Basic Infrastructure (ADIB). This area supports the development of basic infrastructure aimed at improving the living conditions and productive capacities of rural families. Particularly, it works with basic sanitation, provision of drinking water, micro-irrigation , improvement of posts and schools, eventually it has supported the implementation of road improvement projects and others. ✓ Interinstitutional Training (IC), in a multidimensional approach and due to the process aimed at solving institutional needs, there is this area that fulfills the function of training between institutions.
Number of Projects currently being executed by thematic area To date , TECHNOLOGIES IN DEVELOPMENT ( TeD ) have managed different projects through strategic plans and internal operational activities such as: project management, pre-investment studies , and execution and investment activities, which has allowed ordered to monitor all activities.
