Abstract

The Cusichaca Trust has pioneered rural development approaches in the field allied to archaeological and ethnographic research in the Peruvian highlands NW of Cuzco. In the last two decades pilot schemes, based on traditional technology, have been developed into successful projects. With a minimum of technical and material assistance, mixed and traditional farming communities can improve their resource base dramatically by exploiting the neglected potential of their own past. In an integrated project, irrigation and terracing infrastructure is restored; women and health issues are addressed in productive home-based economic activities; and a community centre provides a forum to artisans and future developments. Replication in the region will be by a new NGO founded by the local project staff. The Trust will found new projects further afield in priority areas designated by the government, and will also train and work with recently formed national NGOs. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
