WHAT'S NEXT
RETURN TO AGBOKPA
Return to the community to observe how the technology has become a part of people's lives and what may be standing in the way of further progress.
CONDUCT A COMMUNITY SURVEY
Find a community member who is as unbiased as possible (not involved with the freezer construction or present maintenance) to conduct the survey by asking the questions throughout Agbokpa in order to receive the most honest feedback possible.
UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITY CULTURE
Discuss further where the community may be able to collaborate with surrounding people to promote a more connected and prosperous area in the presently rural towns.
Uncover why the locals pay for the freezer services and suggest modifications if there are ways in which people may be able to work better together and grow faster as a result of freezer services without pay.
SUGGESTIONS MOVING FORWARD
Propose that the locals build their own freezer (with guidance from Dr. Heston), sourcing materials from Ghana and potentially offering their skills as services to surrounding areas once they have developed them further.
This would allow the people that built them to maintain them more effectively, with all (or mostly all) of the materials coming from accessible places and promoting the local economy.
