Cano Negro in Venezuela was the first project launched in Latin American in 19xx. This was followed by consults replicating the Cano Negro model in 19xx in four other Latin American nations: Bananeras, Brazil; Sol de September, Chile; Woburn Lawn, Jamaica; Azpitia, Peru.
The vision for Maliwada Replicationwas to launch a project in each of the 250 tulukas (counties) of Maharashtra State.
This vision was referred to as The Mighty 250.
REPLICATION PLAN
This rapid transformation of Maliwada, a depressed village into a vigorous and self-sustaining human community has made Maliwada the center for a state-wide replication effort. Phase One of this effort involved the launching of three additional demonstration village projects, one in each of the other three divisions of the state, as of December, 1976. Phase Two has entailed the expansion of this to one project in each district of the state as of December, 1977, a total of twenty-five. Phase Three accelerates this expansion by initiating a project in every taluka of the state by April, 1979, a total of 232. The final phase envisions the replication of the projects within each taluka until every village in the state is included. The overall intention of this effort is that Maharashtra becomes a demonstration for other states in India as well as other nations of the practical feasibility of replicating rapid and effective rural development at the local level.
Three United States projects were included in the Band of 24, including the Fifth City pilot, Delta Pace and Ivy City.
From 1976-1978 an additional twelve projects were launched, referred to as the US12. Information on each of these HDPs below is found here on the US12 page.
