i have been involved in various projects by a number of NGO's intended to reduce or inform people on developmental issues. but one thing that always troubles me is the implementation stage. these people are supposedly ignorant about their situation & developers are trying to make them change their behavior or attitudes about a certain idea or behavior they have been doing all their lives!
and that change does not take an hour or a number of days. rural development projects expects people to change their attitudes within the project circle so that they can assess the results. but what if the people are not ready? what if they need more time?w hat if they require more proof? what if they need more human resource to demonstrate what u are telling them? the project cycle does not always allow that much time. and that is quite understandable considering the amount of money that can be involved. but at the same time it is problematic to the people expecting to change because the little time they are expected to change might not be enough to make a sustainable change. however little is better than none. i wish as developers we could us extensive programmes but thats not always possible! still let Africa develop!!
