This is the second reflection on SystemThinking concerning the field trip to Mozambique (from 4.3.2012 to 16.3.2012),now focusing on the local level of the UN Millennium Village in Lionde (countryside of Mozambique, about 300km from the capital Maputo).I must say that the more I make reflections andresearches in a Systemic approach, the more I get convinced that all theproblems we have today (environmental, social and economic) exists due to alack of this method of inquiry. They are results of punctual solutions,solutions that aims upon one specific factor without considering any otherrelated system and their interactions.The reason behind our field trip was toresearch more about the UN Millennium Village (MV) in Lionde, so to cope withthe briefing presented by the local Ministry of Science and Technology whichwas: to develop a business model, packaging and advertisement for the productsand activities held by the Village.We spend 8 days living with local families andvisiting the Villages activities. These activities are divided on 5 pillars:Agriculture (Farming, Agro-processing and Fish farming), Education, Health, Waterand Sanitation. From which we chose to focus on Agriculture, more specificallyon the issues of Farming and Agro-processing.Ill try to explain here the systemic problemwhich damages the success of these initiatives, it may look a little bitconfusing to explain an interconnected and related set of reasons in a lineartext, but lets try...Ill use as example the agro-processing group.From the research we found three levels ofproblems where changes have to be made.The first level is motivation: 92% of thepeople involved in the MV initiatives are women, this happens because themajority of mans migrated to South Africa to find jobs and short term financialresults; so, if the MV initiatives cant provide a daily income, they have tofind other means to feed their families. And even for the women involved, theycant get a daily income, for that reason, if they are involved in aninitiative, is for passion. That is the main reason why many women drop outfrom the initiatives; for example, the agro-processing group started with 30people, then reduced to 12 and when we were following their activities, therewas only 3 or 5 people working.But then, how to produce so to have a reliableincome? Produce more?It could be a solution, but then we get to thesecond level: infrastructureWhen they produce, for example, cassava biscuits:They get Cassava from local farms, peal the cassava, cut it, use a machine tograin it and then, after that, all the other processes are hand-made: drying,crushing and sieving. In this method, they can produce only 3kg of cassavaflour per day; what is way too little to compete even in the local market. End even further, almost all the flour they produce they use to make biscuits; therefore there is no flour left to be sold.Now, about biscuits: They can produce around 70 biscuits per day (ifeverybody is doing the biscuits). However, they have only one mug to pour theingredients, only one pan to mix them, only one oven with only one baking trayto use. Small details would make a big change, such asone more mug, for example; they would not need to wash the
