c Esprit de Corps
- 83 ­
Special attention has to be made to develop

feeling of equality and pride to participate in this
ProjecL should be promoted and maintained throughout the
Project life. This has to be done by conscious design, and

any subject, such as setting of policy guidelines, operation

for long-standing committees, each with few activities to

operations plans should be prepared in progressively greater
detail, respectively, by the Project Director, the provincial
implementation and coordination committee, and the
field manager. The operations plan will relate activities
to be undertaken with the supporting resources and the time
available, Budget requests of participating departments to
implement plans will be submitted to the Project Director,
who will submit the unified budget request each fiscal year.
B. Implementation Plan
It should be noted from the outset that because this
Project is designed for bottom-up decision making and
because these decisions will differ among villages and
tambons and cannot be made in advance of activities designed
to enable villagers and lower level officials to make
informed decisions, a precise schedule of implementation
events cannot be made, Nonetheless, implementation plans
for planned activities which are based on assumed levels of
