Abstract	In order to adapt new technologies and special processes to the particular conditions of developing nations, the German Appropriate Technology Exchange (GATE) was established in 1978 within the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ). This document traces the major aspects of cooperation between the Federal Republic of Germany and its partners in developing nations in the field of technology transfer. Examples of cooperative effort and successes in solving problems of developing countries are documented in this issue. Given the large number of different approaches and local conditions in these countries, transfer of technology had to be scrutinized against the specific economic, ecological, social and cultural background of the country in question and must be tailor-made. Pressing needs for many developing countries include more effective transportation systems, modern data evaluating and processing techniques, energy supplies, drinking water of proper quality, and sanitary facilities. The West German federal government has made the improvement of water supplies high priority within the framework of its political cooperation. The goal of the Federal Republic of Germany is to help the developing countries in scientific-technological cooperation as well as to train and implement study programs, so that these countries can master new technologies and gradually take over the production of technical products themselves.
