Business person’s Strength and Threat • Strengths • Own methodology, materials, • technical and enough capital • for investment. • The farmer realized the disadvantages • when the station was not worked • (Many previous experiences). • Good participation from farmers (labor and concession-land for canal construction). • Appeal to many donors, national and international organizations.
Threats • There is no encouragement and guarantee for private investment on irrigation field which need for any supports from local institutions and political policy ensured from ministry and government level. • There is no institution/coordinator ( conflict between business person and farmers). • There is no formal contract. • Informal FWUC and management structure is not clear. • For ISF collection ( no rule for the farmers who are not willing to pay the ISF). • Water sharing (Unrespect water turn, stealing water, and waste water). • Some time (lack of water source, the station got flooded).
