4. NEEM IN DEVELOPMENT-COOPERATION PROJECTS
Other external projects: The counterpart organisations included various NGOs such as the
Centro Manabita de Desarrollo Comunitario (CEMADEC) in Ecuador, the Gami Seva Sevana
(GSS) in Sri Lanka and the Niger Caritas in Niger (cf. 4.2, Ecuador and Sri Lanka).
These counterpart organisations helped to apply in the given regions the experience and
knowledge concerning the dissemination and usage of neem as a non-synthetic pesticide
gained at GTZ Head Office and the field station. Here again, numerous field trials were
conducted into the possible uses and dosages of various neem products.
