Indigenous KnowledgeThe role of traditional and indigeneous knowledge and technology: the citizens engagementBy Prof. Joseph O. Malo. KNAS and University of Nairobi AbstractThe paper examines the role of traditional and indigenous knowledge and technology including the role of citizens in knowledge management of sustainable environment, health, water resources, education, habitat, disaster and emergency response, food security, clean energy etc. The motivating factor is that most of the villages in developing countries are small and literally cut off from the rest of the world and hence under serviced. Social services particularly in health must therefore promote a combination of traditional and scientific approach. This calls for recognition of people who apply natural and traditional methods to sustain life.
