What is ‘Intermediate Equipment’?
Simple or intermediate equipment designed for low initial
capital outlay and operating costs, durability and ease of
maintenance and repair in the conditions typical of a limited-
resource environment, rather than for high theoretical
efficiency.
It is preferable if the equipment can also be manufactured
or fabricated locally.
Agricultural Tractors are a versatile example - can be used
for a range of tasks with locally fabricated attachments.
