This is exactly how plastic water tanks are made pale Industrial area. The process is so simple every sub-county should have at least one small-scale manufacturer. What would it take to enable Odhis to diversify into tank-making? One, have a technology demonstration center where Odhis can see the process and access all information about tank manufacturing. Two, provide small operators with means to access machinery, gas, and other raw materials in the quantities they require at cost. Three, create a labor pool database where Kamau, who wants to invest some stolen cash, can easily hire people with the right expertise to run his tank-making workshop. The above steps would apply for any product.
Such interventions do not have to last forever. With time, there will be enough people with skills that can be organically passed to others. Similarly, operators will eventually figure out a way to source their own materials, freeing the concerned institution to go to the next product. What will be the benefits of such interventions? Employment opportunities will be created in a decentralized format, people will have access to cheaper tanks, and money will remain at the grassroots. In addition, people operating such outfits will have the impetus to diversify to other products.
