Abstract:
The ground was well prepared before the*Colja comprehensive survey took
off* Following the census in March 1969, the villagers were informed
about CADU's intentions by Ato Girma Negussie, The Public Health
Sanitarian and Ato Belaineh G, Michael from the Extension and
Education Department* £?ome of the influencial elders of the village
were invited for a tour'of the various CADU activities. Probably as the
result of these efforts, the survey programme was more successfully
carried out than in Sagure, exoept for the controversially itemized
KAP study. There existed, a widely spread suspicion among the villagers,
that the project was moving down to take their land. This suspicion was
partly scattered by the successful approach to the elders of the
village.
