And even, after this construction, people have been engaged in certain training process because they need to get into understanding how to maintain these service aspect, how to maintain the greywater take off or the water supply aspect, the sanitation aspect or the waste disposal. So, they have been got training on the cleaning the area around the house removing superficial run-off water, house maintenance.

And with this, there has been various public projects like schools, like this one school of Hogar del Nino which has been developed on a house for people with physical and mental disabilities which has been constructed and there is 6 educational centres which has been constructed to cater the needs of the community.

And looking at the timeline, we have about 500, what are the results starting from the 2001 from May onwards it is about the planning and drafting of the project document so it looked at analysing the needs, the combination of the cooperation of different agencies and how to go ahead with it and then in August somewhere, the construction of the pilothouse have been constructed.

So, what are the results now there has been a constant community involvement and a participatory workshops have been like you can see that every morning the community is, team is meeting and learning different aspects of their housing project and how to go ahead with it so that is what they worked on a motto learn as you work and the main here, the one thing is main users themselves have played an important role in their own recovery.

And, what are the direct impacts of this progressive housing, 97% of the population have been covered, new employment have been generated and improved the standard of living, strengthening the social networks because they start working together, breaking cultural stereotypes of women involvement because woman has been a major asset and where people were came forward to be part of the recovery program in terms of decision making in the construction and the El Salvador Red Cross as active role the local Red Cross.

What are the constraints? You know, every project will have its downturns, difficulty for communities for finding finances in the stage two because what they do is in order to procure the materials some people are able to afford some people may not and then they used to collectively do someplace or shows to gather some funds and that has also has an impact on the specific deadlines of the project? And the other thing we did discuss about the tenure and the ownership the legal procedures regarding the land ownership which also took some time.

And the study concludes that active participation from the community is a viable alternative because that is more flexible in many of the cases in this course what we are studying is a participation, participation and participation. Families able to meet their economic obligations and they are expected to as they will be expected to make a hefty contribution so in that way they have been organizing themselves.

And extensive knowledge of the country, culture and its life is a paramount, so one has to work with the local communities the trust has to be developed and only a part of it has been developed in the remaining part has been developed by the users and how to optimize the time taken to carry out the project.

The role of social promoters was a crucial importance because they had developed a trust between the community and the Red Cross, training of local people in social and technically so that has given them some kind of employment scope that they can work as a masons they can work as a skilled persons.

So, these are some of the understanding from the El Salvador case and how it slightly deferred from the cold-core building approach to a progressive housing approach and how communities are involved in the process of it.
