annual NGO Conference, United Nations,
The organisation workshops foreseen will decide
where the gypsum composites production units will be constructed.
Consideration should be given to the distance of the sites from the
gypsum or anhydrite deposits which will feed them. These site will be included
on the maps of the project area.
The costs of locating gypsums/anhydrite deposits are covered as a
separate item in the budget.
Information on gypsum composite products.
Preparation of gypsum composite products.
One Moraisian organisational workshop will be
held for the three production units planned together. Localities for the units
will be decided in accordance with the local availability of gypsum or
anhydrite or the need to import it into the project area. Indicatively one
might be located in Nyanchwa, one in
Bobaracho and one in Nyaguta.
Indicative participation :
The Moraisian trainers
A member of the project coordination team
Consultant for gypsum composites.
At least one representative of the NGO Project New Horizons for Kiogoro
Representative of the Ministry of Health
Representative of the Rural Development ministry
At least 5 observers (possible coordinators for future projects)
66 persons (men and women), indicated during meetings held at Well Commission
level, interested in participating in the activities of the factories. Where
opportune, according to local political structures and traditions, up to 25% of
the people could be indicated by the local chiefs.

The Workshop will be expected to produce the
following structures:
a) Definition of the social form of the
production units
- statutes
- rules
- professional and administrative structures
- financial aspects
- relationship with the local LETS systems
b) A structure for the supply of materials
- geological research for gypsum and/or anhydrite deposits
- locations of gypsum/anhydrite quarries, permits
- activities preparatory to exploitation
- logistics
- coordination of materials depots with the factories
c) Definition of the items to be made (tanks,
toilets, stoves, solar cookers etc)
- coordination with the other production units (specialisation)
- contacts with families
- definition of requirements : articles and specifications
- definition of requirements : design, productive capacity
- definition of the necessary procedures
