This website describes the principles and techniques of self-financing, ecological, sustainable local integrated development projects for the world's poor in detail. In each project area with about 50.000 people social, financial, productive and services are set up in a critical order of sequence to ensure a good quality of life everyone, without exclusion, in each project area. The Model gives full coverage to drinking water structures, rain-water harvesting and recycling of grey water for household level cultivation.
The website also offers a free year-long e-learning course at post-master's level for the Diploma in Integrated Development. The course can be accessed by selecting "e-learning course" from the menu at the top of the homepage. Just reading through the course material provides a complete background on the principles and techniques behind integrated development, including of course the water and sanitation structures foreseen.
