The ATC carries out profiling and validation of technologies purposed to promote access to safe water, improved sanitation, hygiene and environmental integrity. A Technology Applicability Framework (TAF) tool is used to guide the profiling process.
These technologies are always submitted by the innovators/promoters either directly to the Centre or through the Ministry of Water and Environment. Successfully profiled technologies are awarded validation certificates and those that need improvement are guided accordingly.
