technical expertise from outside
does help, what's more important is the community's own willingness to learn and
its people's desire to become the masters of the technologies Both the PARAP group and the community should clearly define the areas of their respective responsibilities from the beginning. The people themselves should take the initiative in owning and utilizing the technologies in use so that the community will acquire its own competence in maintaining a productive process of development without damaging ther own environment. ● The primary area of the PARAP group's responsibility lies in the comprehensive planning of the project designed to activate the life of the community in its entirety.
