This activity focuses on development centers, therefore it is not ‘on the basis of pastoralist systems’.

It consists of:

• introducing housing technologies that use local building materials and designs applicable to the area;
• eventually changing houses to using corrugated iron roofing;
• undertaking improvements in the handling of housing utensils through continuous training by health extension services so that people adapt to modern life;
• planting fruit trees around villages so that they modify the temperature and make them attractive;
• ensuring that peoples’ organizations adopt a clean environment as their agenda so that development centers are clean and convenient for living;
• providing public economic and social services like, water, electricity, telephones, health, education services, etc., that are comparable with the national standard;
• identifying and supporting services that could be provided in conjunction with the private sector.
