We’re harnessing six decades of practical problem solving and applying it to communities living on the frontlines of poverty and climate change. we innovate real world, practical solutions to urgent problems like catastrophic flooding, unhygienic waste and failing harvests. Schumacher’s ground breaking book, small is beautiful was published in 1973 and generated worldwide interest. we changed our name from itdg to practical action in 2005, building on our focus on. In an increasingly divided and fragile world, practical action aims to demonstrate and advocate the sustainable use of technology to reduce poverty in developing countries.
