Priority Areas. The over riding theme of the last year of the AGIL project was to place emphasis on the sustainability of the efforts done during the previous 3 years. Sustainability will be accomplished through primary and secondary groups. Primary groups are those providing direct technical service to businesses e.g. AGILITOS, LeStansa, AMMI and secondary groups are those that provide assistance both financial and technical through other organizations, e.g. NGOs. The principle focus of AGIL will be in gestión empresarial – business management at all organizational levels from producer and financial service organization to the NGOs that assist them. What was envisioned as a “three-legged stool” approach to development in the Zonapaz rapidly changed and evolved as it was quickly discovered that the stool’s legs not only weren’t connected – there were no legs! The three “legs” of project were: 1) private technical service providers working in the area; 2) organized producers businesses; and 3) rural financial institutions loaning to producer organizations. Much of what AGIL evolved into stemmed from this situation. We immediately embarked on a strategy to be “agil” – to have the ability to evolve and change quickly, depending on field conditions. We had to reconfigure our tactics continually, and thus we emerged as a project that was able to deal directly with clients’ needs and to find solutions to their problems. The downside was that there was little connection between the technical/producer “legs” and the financial one, as each part of AGIL was busy trying to develop or strengthen their organizations to obtain mutual benefits. By the time we saw real business enterprises emerging in rural areas––each with a level of development that could enable the three areas of concentration to reap cross benefits––the project ended. Essentially, ▇▇▇▇ worked with the organizations that existed, in some cases the organizations had to be created from scratch. These organizations certainly bore their share of scars, each a microcosm mirroring the turbulent history of the Zonapaz region. In the face of all the limiting factors at hand, we carried on, and with the circumscribed options available we performed as best we could. At the end of the project we felt we had brought to many organizations a set of technical skills that could boost their competitivity, and very importantly, that glimmer of “can do” expectation that keeps people motivated to invest the energy and resources required ...
