8103: AISE International Agricultural Education
Case Study #1
Southland International Development and Improvement Corporation (SIDIC) was asked to evaluate the Los Pollos Village area water situation and develop a plan to alleviate what SIDIC thought to be the problem. Los Pollos is a secluded area in Cerros Verde, a small South American country. The central government of Cerros Verde had been granted a loan from the International Development Fund to back the project that SIDIC proposed and was the successful bidder. SIDIC studied the situation and found that one of the major problems in Los Pollos was that women and children had to walk nearly one mile for their potable water supplytwice daily. SIDIC developed a plan to get water piped to each of the homes of the several villages in the Los Pollos area. SIDIC developed and completed the project over a five-year period, which was record time, spending 7.4 million crippees ($5.8 million US). All seemed well in Los Pollos. The people had a water supply that was convenient and plentiful at when least the system worked. However, the villagers in the area were not happy. Local village and government leaders soon detected an uneasiness and dissatisfaction among the people in the area, even in the midst of the new water system they were given. There was such a problem created over this matter that in the confusion, a task force from another development agency, the Northland Global Development and Improvement Corporation (NGDIC) was hired to talk with the people, detect the problem and propose solutions. It was found that in spite of spending many millions of crippees for the people, they were not happy and someth...
