The team members agree that the aspect of elaborating solutions for the sustainable development of a community was a significant determinant in their choice of this challenge. The project is presented by Fortune Development Centre (FDC) which is based in Samaringa in the Honde Valley, with a counterpart in Sweden. FDC aims to improve the living conditions of the population in the Honde Valley, focusing on Ward 10. The project encompasses a wide range of topics which require careful attention to the socio- economic and geographical constraints that influence the feasibility of any project. The main objectives of the project are the sustainability of the community in the long run, the introduction of innovative technology with the social acceptance of locals, the identification of a long run development strategy that will lead to the improvement of the quality of life. Once the needs of the community were evaluated and aggregated in terms of priority and potential impact, the team proceeded to a literature review of similar case-studies in sub Saharan Africa rural areas, synthesizing information about different kinds of interventions and technologies, along with their social and environmental implications, risks and economic viability-sustainability. Following two field trips and the evaluation of the actual conditions in Ward 10, the main focus has been identified on the following topics: • Water supply harmonization, purification and sanitation • Sustainable and clean energy access • Roads and infrastructure improvement • Agriculture • Community services • Ecotourism During the trips, the team had the chance to meet the locals and to establish contacts with them, confronting the different opinions and understanding the features of the local culture. A questionnaire has been delivered to the local population to understand their interest in the proposals, and measurements on the water quality have been performed and analysed in the laboratory of Land and Water Department at KTH. For each of these areas, the team identified some proposals, evaluated from the technical, social, ecological and financial point of view. The project aims to identify a path of awareness and acceptance of local population, enhancing local business opportunities and job creation. Moreover, some potential partners for the proposed solutions are suggested and mentioned, in order to give a tool to the customer to implement the solutions of interest, find investors and funding opportunities and approach local authorities to reach agreements on the future cooperation. -3- Abbreviations Abbreviation Significance AD Anaerobic Digestion ARI Acute respiratory infections BCS
