Hello list,
My name is Doekle Wielinga, I am a human geographer working at this moment
in the coastal area of El Salvador. I work for a local NGO (CORDES) which
stimulates integrated rural development in repupulation areas (populated
after the civil war ended in 1992).
To achieve this kind of development we stimulate the formation of
micro-regions in our service area. A micro-región consists of a number of
communities, with the same geographical, economic, social and political
conditions, which, once being organized are much better able to reach self
help development.
My work is methodological, applying participatory rural appraisal,
participatory action research to facilitate analysis, organization en
institutional strengthening.
I also try to implement a simple goegraphical information system that can
be used not only by me but also by local recources.
I look forward to interesting discusions and mutual learning.
Kind regards,
Doekle
