They do not know what approach to adopt and are not particularly inclined to simply listening to people's problems. Consequently the people don't understand the purpose or message of the health inspectors. Mass media is also not considered necessary in these less urban areas. | CF-RAI-USAA-PD-GEN-2007-000219 |

Recognition that the more the people are allowed to participate in decisions that affect them, the more likely it is that such project may succeed (b) The more cognizance is given to the fact that there are various socioeconomic and political interests involved, the nearer will the authorities come to solving the problems often confronted with such projects. (c) The more importance is given to the existence of people of various cultural backgrounds the likelier it becomes that problems could be minimized. Also included is the "Dandora Group Project summary of findings" resulting from group discussions with the management/technical community development officers. There were also plans for media production intended for the aid of future allottees being resettled, including slides, a manual, handouts. | CF-RAI-USAA-PD-GEN-2007-000218 |
