02.03 INFORMATION ON THE PROJECT AREA

 

This information will vary widely from one project area to another.

 

For the purposes of your project application under the Model, a reasonably close description of the quality of life of the people is valuable. What do the people in the project area do? How do they do it?

 

Good cartographic information of the project area is critical. You cannot design your project structures properly without it. If official maps are not available, hand-made sketches should be made.  The sketch maps can be schematic but must be (reasonably) to scale.
