The Water Sellers: A Cooperative Venture by the Rural Poor (KUMARIAN PRESS LIBRARY OF MANAGEMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT) - Softcover
This important work takes an in-depth look at an innovative approach to agrarian reform between 150 groups of landless people and Proshika, a Bangladeshi NGO. We see how the landless empower themselves to invest in irrigation equipment, sink wells, install pumps, and sell irrigation services to landed farmers.
This is a frank analysis of the strengths and weaknesses -- and importance -- of NGOs in helping to develop rural projects, and to assist the landless in gaining access to skills training and credit.
A Practical model for agricultural and development professionals, this work analyzes irrigation, using a detailed database of management and technical variables. Examines the changing social relationships within villages, the struggles to obtain credit, and the critical need for appropriate technology.
