Some other typical productive structures.
Apart
from structures basic to poverty alleviation and an improved quality of life,
such as hygiene education at home and in the schools, water supply, sanitation
in the homes at schools and in clinics, solar lighting for study purposes, solar
refrigeration for medicines in clinics, improved cooking stoves etc, neither the
Model nor the draft rural development projects so far presented attempt to list
all of the initiatives which could take place, as these are as varied as the
minds and wishes of the people.
However,
any services the local people may consider of special importance can always be
included in the project and itemised in the budget. Some examples are the
setting up of a local radio station, setting up local milk shops for the
pasteurisation and distribution of milk, the creation of cooperative storage
facilities for food, especially for food for local consumption, the creation of
a seed bank and the draining and re-structuring of market squares and public
places. Many such poverty alleviation initiatives may require some project-level
formal money funds. Other initiatives, for instance, creating sports clubs,
theatre groups, local consultants’ offices, or communications centres, plant
nurseries, reforestation etc would typically be done under a combination of the
LETS local money systems and the interest-free micro-credit systems.
