Collaborative effort by researchers from CML Leiden University and India to enhance the technology delivery system for sustainable development, focusing on capacity building for maintenance and investments at the village level. The project aims to integrate data analysis methods such as time study, cash flow study, material flows study, and Action-in-Context study to support a holistic approach.

DELIVERY SYSTEM AND INTEGRATED VILLAGE ANALYSIS CML LEIDEN UNIVERSITY NETHERLANDS Wouter de Groot Marieke Hobbes and researcher from India
CML (Institute of Environmental Siences) • Department of Environmental Biology (e.g. pesticides management) • Department of Industrial Ecology (e.g. SFA, MFA, LCA, ….) • Department of Environment and Development (management of natural resources, esp. in Cameroon and the Philippines)
Task of CML in TIPOT: • The ‘delivery system’ of the new technology • Support of others in TIPOT. A delivery system … beyond “Install and Run”.
Beyond “Install-and-Run”: Required are: • Capacity and responsibility for maintenaince: variants of embedding the technology (e.g. leasing). • Lasting motivations for maintenance: the (unsubsidized, private) CBAs of all actors in the delivery system chain.
Attention to the village-level end users: Capacities and motivations of the farmers. • Capacities to invest: freely available time, available cash, micro-credit, … • Motivations to invest: financial (CBA) and non-financial (care, honor, culture).
Approach: By way of an integrated system of data gathering and analysis (‘IRAC’), yet to be designed, composed of: • time study • cash flow study • material flows study (rMFA) • Action-in-Context study (AiC) (and possibly SFA for this specific case).
