In 2016, with the fall in the global price of oil, the projects appeared to be put on hold The initiative aims to help small-scale farmers to bring back into production 1 million hectares of land that has been lying fallow
The Nigerian economy is in recession It hopes to achieve this over a period of five years

The coastal railway will be a 1400km route which will link Lagos in the West to Calabar in the East Money from sales is providing much-needed income
It will cross the huge delta of the Niger River Thus it is increasingly recognised that these co-operatives are winning the fight not just against hunger, but also food insecurity and

Creates coastal growth corridor encouraging development across delta of Niger river Water scarcity; Sanitation; Pollution; Health – infant mortality etc.
Will create 200,000 jobs DURING construction and 30,000 permanent jobs after completion Water is scarce is Kenya and at times the country is on brink of desertification
(secondary/tertiary jobs encourage development)
Given the little water that Kenya has, it gives priority to its planned urban areas and to wealthy rural communities that can pay for it
This means that those people living in slums and remote villages often go without
How these issues are managed and what strategies are in place
WaterAid sets up partnerships with local communities to ensure that the need for safe water is met
They use technologies that are low-cost, appropriate to the local area and that can be easily maintained by the communities
TOP DOWN
Hand-dug wells, hand pumps and rainwater havesting are commonly used to improve water supplies
UK (HIC) – HS2 Community managed latrines and wastewater management help with sanitation
What the issues are Facts & figures
There is a huge development gap between the North and the South of England Up to a third of water pumps are broken at any one time
There are huge differences in wealth which the HS2 will aim to level out Over 17 million Kenyans lack access to safe water
How these issues are managed and what strategies are in place WaterAid is a UK charitable trust set up in 1981
It is yet another attempt to try to reduce the North-South divide Who runs the scheme/where do resources and money come from?

economy The money comes from donations as WaterAid is a charity
Facts & figures
The cost is currently estimates to be US$128 billion but it may increase as with the Nigerian Coastal Railway The money is then used to fulfil many purposes to ensure that people in Kenya have access to water and a good quality life
Construction is expected to start in 2017 and finish by 2026 What has the outcome been? Overall, positive or negative?
At Birmingham the new rail link will divide with one branch running to Manchester and the other to Sheffield and Leeds The outcome has been positive because it has allowed for the development of suitable technologies and has significantly reduced the
Who runs the scheme/where do resources and money come from? water scarcity in small villages in Kenya
The project has been approved by the UK parliament
It will be funded by a mixture of Government money and private investment
HS2 is part of a wider government initiative to encourage a ‘northern powerhouse’
What has the outcome been? Overall, positive or negative?
The outcome has not been the most successful because it ran out of money and had to shorten its original path Which is better?
Also there has been a lot of backlash from people across the UK Bottom-up and The top-down approach relies on higher authority figures to determine larger goals that will filter down
The general sentiment remains, and the North will become connected with the South increasing the development in those Top-down case to the tasks of lower-level workers in LICs. In comparison, the bottom-up style of communication

features a decision-making process that gives the entire working body a voice in the communities’ goals.
