2.3.2. Sustainable
sustainability is derived from increased local growth, and
were rural people care about success and are able to access resources to keep
the strategy going (Calestous Juma, 2000) and there are some
aspirational statements on this theme, the most commonly quoted being
Brundtland's: «development which meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs»
(in Custance & Hillier, 1998).
2.3.3. Rural Public works
projects
Rural Public works projects is the creation of rural
infrastructure through the mobilization of rural labour has long been the dream
of economic planners in developing world. The idea is simple one. In the end of
agricultural season, labour in the rural sectors of developing nations is
unemployed or underemployed. Therefore the opportunities cost of using that
labour on rural public works projects is zero or near zero ( although food
consumption may go up for people doing heavy construction work) (Malcolm Gills,
et al.; 1987).
