Synopsis

People in the developing world need to be able to sustain and maintain their country's development in order to survive. In this book, the authors give their views and experience of what is appropriate, effective and sustainable, and assess how best to overcome the many obstacles to operating and managing development projects. They advocate a holistic approach to needs assessment involving the creative and intelligent use of appropriate intermediate technology and readily available resources. The arguments for labour - and technology - based schemes are also considered.
