RE: African infrastructure - The Infrastructure Service Delivery Path (Part 3 in a series)
Seems like a sound, useful idea. It seems the islanders' lives would get a 'boost' - I mean they'd be able to get #Supplies more easily, and attend events - whether educational or #entertainment, I'm sure the people would appreciate.
I agree with the idea that Mining trucks (as in yr Example) ought to 'chip in' as they'd be profitting. (from 2nd paragraph).
the impacts should be weighed & considered beforehand - yet I also like your idea of #Feedback from consumers on the quality of service they're getting (as time goes along), and Feedback from policymakers & regulators.. as well as feedback fm those who run the facility .
Suggestions, as things move along, should be welcome. Yet at times, people can be SHY about speaking up; so if there's a discussion with a whole lot of people maybe there should be a silent vote (in response to different Questions as to how beneficial the bridge is, whether such-and-such is a problem/issue, and How things/systems might be improved).
And ALWAYS with the original purpose at the Forefront of everyone's minds . This would be necessary, so there wouldn't/couldn't be mindless wandering & (i.e, wasteful) discussions that use up time.
