Introduction

Tomoka’s plans for its organizational set up and four Intervention Programmes have been described in several documents. You can find a selection of them on this download section of our website. Please, notice that this is a growing compilation because our work is in progress since October 2009. It mainly consists of documents which deal with the design, planning and practical preparation of our Project. At the moment of writing (August 2010), we are preparing our Promotion and Fund Raising Campaign in order to get this Sustainable Rural Development Project fully operational. You may expect this document to be published here very soon.

As has been said before, Tomoka has chosen not to wait for funding. A preliminary start was deemed to be more effective and necessary. Most concrete achievements, such as the Systematic selection of High Yielding Seeds, ke the creation of a Pilot Plantation, a Jatropha Propagation Bank, and the formation of an effective Project Organization are being dealt with in documents which you find below. The pre-financing of all this has been made possible by Temporary Project Team which Tomoka’s Initiator, the small GuKam company, has made available.

A comprehensive sketch of our plans, preparations and organisation has been presented on the webpage Our Project. Here we just provide the full text of selected  documents for each of the four Intervention Programmes which Tomoka envisages. And we repeat again that they are interrelated in such ways that they form a combined contribution to the realization of three interacting national development goals. In terms of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Programme, they intend to ‘Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger (MDG 1)’,   to ‘Promote gender equality and empower women (MDG 3)’, and to ‘Ensure environmental sustainability (MDG 7)’.

The growing number of documents presented on this webpage are the small steps on the long journey which leads to the realization of Tomoka’s ultimate goal and general objectives: sustainable rural development and concomitant improvements of prosperity and wellbeing of the extremely poor population of the Canton of Dawlotu Tutu. Indeed, the long lists of documents illustrates how Tomoka practices what the Proverb above says: how we practice perseverance in our  performance of difficult tasks because all rewards will come at the end.

For evident reasons, it is not possible to add new documents on a regular basis. The first ones mentioned below will appear from 1 December 2010 onwards.

Tradition: women are petty traders Tomoka:  why not aiming higher and for the better?		Tradition: rich women are small service providers Tomoka: upgrading their skills will turn them into entrepreneurs who make a difference		Tradition: women consume the larger share of all  rural energy sources,  unaware of the effects Tomoka:  Jatropha oil as an affordable and   sustainable alternative is the solution
