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.
