Dear Colleagues, As some of you know, I am working on a project aimed at:
Providing to District Governments, village governments, NGOs, communities, cooperatives, even individual entrepreneurs, in poor and developing countries, knowledge, information, contacts, etc., to help them: 1) dialog with Central Government on which services to start, and how to manage them; 2) analyze their local economy, to select, then (find the money to) finance and set-up, their own, viable, projects. I intend to publish a book on all this, and of course, I will inform this List. After some experiences in Africa, I will be working in Pakistan in September, to implement this project in a selected rural area, where I have been introduced by local friends. I would like to be able to do a similar experience in India, either in Tamil Nadu (Madras / Chennai), or in Karnataka (Bangalore). If anyone on the List has connections there, please kindly contact me directly. I will explain to you better my background and what it's all about, so that you may, if you wish, introduce me to your contacts there. I can be in those two States, from Aug. 10 to Aug. 30. I sincerely hope to hear from some of you, and I send to all of you my best regards, Arrigo della Gherardesca Managing Director ItAfrica - Italian African Alliance srl (denomination in process of being changed) Milano, Italy ------------ ***GKD is solely supported by EDC, a Non-Profit Organization*** To post a message, send it to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
