The key is to collectivise, to collaborate for the common interest. <br />It is the job of aid agencies to stimulate this work, organising the flow of money - of which there is no lack - and converting money into work. <br /><br />There is a similar failure in creating democratic structures in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Panchayyat system is an excellent model for achieving this. Trouble is that the managers have a top-down approach.<br /><br />Panchayyat is a nepali system, where 5 families elect a representative, then those 5 elect a representative, and so on until the rep can talk to Government. That way, information and organisation can flow both up and down.DocRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903964792092284406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-32693304172468821542010-10-25T17:01:25.682+01:002010-10-25T17:01:25.682+01:00I imagine the infrastructure didn't happen aft...I imagine the infrastructure didn't happen after the quake as they didn't have any before the quake and some plans, no matter how much money you throw at it, don't work if people don't collectivise, and make it work. They could have had long drop latrines before, away from the water course, but that would involve collective action. Digging a big pit, away from water and throwing poo into it, or pooing into it, is not difficult! You would think? No?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555001676886354389noreply@blogger.com
