- water aid and its partners work with ideviguals and use a mixture of low cost technologies to deliver needed basic services.

Sustainable technology:
- technology used is low cost and easily maintained by the local people. 
- communities consulted from beginning as it is bottom up aid.
- technologies made form local sourced materials and local people trained in skills to rapid it to provide long term benefits.
- this means that the work done is sustainable as commit unites can maintain and respire techno kites given to them.

The benefits:

Health - 4000 children die every day from water born disease but is preventable through proper sanitation and clean water supplies, project prevent disease by providing proper proper drainage pits next to wells to stop breaking places occurring.

Education - children normally spend hours a day helping parents so there is not time for school, also water illnesses prevented people form going to school. Now children can attend education as deseases are reduced and the water supply is relatively close.

Diet- without an adequate water supply there is often to a lot of water for crops or live stock. Increased supply's of fresh water from wells means communities can enhance their framing and livestock activities.

Household income - without water and sanitation communities get stuck in a cycle of poverty as illness prevent sick from working and thier careers form working as well and money spent on medical bill reduces the funding even more. Increase access or fresh water means less illnesses so people can work and improve thier income.

Benefits to women -  as the Mao n collectors of water are normally women they now have more time as the water source is relatively close to home. This means that they can play an active role in the community and gain a stinger position and get more respect.]]> 2016-06-07 16:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Povertycasestudies/wish/113965443 ldobbe1 https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Povertycasestudies/wish/113967468 Political- population is falling dropped by almost 300,000 in 10 years till 2008

Political/ economic - emigration of young skilled workers to other parts of the EU

Economic - majority of work is in the primary sector (framing) and basic secondary manufacturing jobs. 

Natural - the climate is temperate but Mediterranean drought in summer and snow and storms in the winter make food growth difficult 

Political - until 1990 it was part of the communist USSR investment to improve the county did not occur and jobs were not created 

Economic - part of the EU economic periphery although it joined in 2007 and heavy EU investment will alter this.]]> 2016-06-07 16:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Povertycasestudies/wish/113967468 ldobbe1 https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Povertycasestudies/wish/113967578
Regional policy: 

.it transfers resources from the richer areas to the poorer areas so poor can catch up with the rest of the EU.

From 2007-20013 regional spending will use 36% of the EU budget (€350 billion)

The focus is on central and Eastern European countries.

The money comes from 3 sources 1. The European regional devolpment fund which pays for general infrastructure 2. The European social fund which pays for job creation programs 3. The cohesion which cover enviomental and transport projects and energy sources.

Urban 2 fund - 

Most people live in urban areas as they are the centre for economic activity and opitinities.

Cities all have enviomental social and economic problems 

Urban 2 fund provided money to cities to provide sustainable devolelopment in trouble districts. 

Money from the European regional development fund.

E.g. Tereul in Spain which had a new ring road built which reduced congestion by 20% reduction pollution and improving air quality and making it an more attractive area.

The common agricultural policy (GAP): 

A system of subsidies payed to EU famers.

Main aims to - provide minimum levels of production to produce enough food for the European population.

Fair standard of living for farmers.

Reasonable prices for products are ensured.

It quarantines the servivual of rural communities where 13 million people are employed (in farming) and half the EU population live.

Also increases demand for domestic products instead of foreign products]]> 2016-06-07 16:14:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Povertycasestudies/wish/113967578 ldobbe1 https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Povertycasestudies/wish/113967657 Political - population is growing slowly and at a controlled level due to imagination levels.

Political/ economic- steady influx of migrants attacated by high tech jobs.

Economic - UK's high tech IT services have been developed bringing increased wealth to the country and the wealth generated by the financial sector also leads to this.

Natural - climate it temperate are not many droughts so farming can occur productively.

Political - since being one of the second groups of contrives to joint he EU it has received investments and reduced trade barriers.

Economic- it is very much part of the EU economic core with transfer of skills, capital and labour with the rest or the EU]]> 2016-06-07 16:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Povertycasestudies/wish/113967657
