Crafts Development and Marketing Manual. Appropriate Technologies for Development. Peace Corps Information Collection & Exchange Manual Series No. M-24.
Ramsay, Caroline C.; And Others
This manual was developed to help Peace Corps volunteers assist local craftspeople in developing nations in initiating and operating small businesses to produce and market their products. The manual is organized in eight chapters that cover the following topics: the crafts environment, common problems and solutions for a crafts business, organizing and managing the crafts project, production, marketing, distribution, case studies of two crafts industries, and resource groups and marketing channels. Extensive appendixes provide information on the loan or grant application process, international trade terms and conditions, international shipping conversions, international shipping procedures, shipping and collection, documentation, methods of receiving payment, and packing requirements. A risk matrix for international terms of payment, several sample documents, a list of Peace Corps resources, and an annotated bibliography are also included. (KC)
