How to develop this project?

On the last week we summarized some details about this project. The most important issues are to define our audience, our expectations and collect more questions.

Audience

The aim of our project is to address the problem to the civil sector related to Ethiopian issues and to address the solution to experts both from non-profit and for profit sectors. 

On one hand the non-profit needs to know the conception of the business sector, their form of investment and its long term effect, as the financial level and duration of the installation is almost the same. On the other hand companies from for profit sector need to be aware of such development cooperation to differentiate on the market.  

According to the concept our target group contains investors, entrepreneurs, NGO workers, MFA officers and other civil servants, decision makers, non-profit sector, and all of those people who interested in this comparison.

Questions

-Why does a for profit company invest in Ethiopian problems? Was it a PR/marketing catch only?
-Where did they get the money from?
-How many people can be served by these wells?
-Could they have substituted the shipped equipment with local one? How did the local community contribute?
-Is it sustainable? Does the company maintain the wells? Will the trained Ethiopian engineers teach the locals how to repair the assets?

- What are the short term and the long term expectations?

- Is this a temporary problem or natural disasters are the effects of climate change?

- If the main problem is the climate change is it the right way to help these people?

Desired story outcomes

Our goal is to find the answers to the above questions and to cover these two Hungarian-Ethiopian development cooperation projects toward our audience. We don’t find it necessary to decide which well reconstruction project is better, nor to judge the different prospective.

The alternative media of our project is a blog that we update biweekly with photos and reports of the reconstruction works and the status quo of the wells both in North and South Ethiopia. 

For conversation option feedbacks and comments are welcomed.
