From the Paper:

"This development group, Srihaswani, works in Southeast Asia in villages of mixed religious and ethnic backgrounds. It refers to itself as a creative manual skills for self-reliant development program. The primary development objectives of this group are to create self-sufficient, parallel, and local economies that are built on the creative manual labor of the local community. This is an important distinction. Firstly, it means that the organization strives to encourage the development of traditional skills that improve the quality of life of the community through creativity and through direct interaction. Secondly, the organization is distinct because their primary development objective isn't to increase the ability of the community to interact at the national or global level."
