Use reference material to describe the location, climate, topography and social and economic situation of San Agustin. Read the case study Success of the San Agustin farmers, Philippines Develop a web map to describe the living conditions in San Agustin prior to 1994. Categorise your responses as economic, social, political or environmental factors. Draw a diagram to demonstrate the links between the groups (SAGUFA, SAIALP, AusAID, and PACAP) involved in San Agustin. Explain why these groups provide a good example of bilateral development aid at work. Describe how the living conditions in San Agustin have improved since SAIALP using the indicators included in the case study. Imagine that you are a field worker for AusAID. You have been asked to visit San Agustin to write a report on the effectiveness of the project. What physical, social, economic and environmental factors need to be considered to make a judgement about the effectiveness of the project? Where would you find out this information? (eg government/private organisations) Explain the worth (or otherwise) of interviewing individual farmers, members of SAGUFA, non-members and community leaders. What are the outcomes of the project and how likely are they to be sustainable? Has Australia's money been well spent? What recommendations would you make for future sustainable development? Assessment task Write a short interview with one of the farmers discussing the long term benefits of the project.
