2 level 4-5

3 level 6-8

Responses will depend on development project chosen. Althoughlikely to be named by reference to its location, accept reference to amore generic term, e.g. irrigation scheme, building of agriculturalcollege/educational facilities provided details given are appropriateand not too generalised. Likely responses will refer to training toprovide skills that can be used on other projects in the future,improving agricultural knowledge and farming technique allowing foodproduction in the future. Candidates should show that advantages ofthe development must be available for future generations. Referencesto sustainable use of resources would also gain credit.(8 marks)

AO1 – 7AO2 – 1Level 1 (Basic) (1-4 marks)Simple statements on an unnamed development project with noindication of its sustainability.They built dykes. They built wells. They built schools

Level 2 (Clear) (5-6 marks)Linked statements with some indication of why it could be consideredsustainable.They built dykes that will protect farmland from flooding in the future.They built wells that provide water for the farm, increasing the yieldand health of the people. People got an education in the schools thatwere built, so they could use the skills they learnt in the future.

Level 3 (Detailed) (7-8 marks)May use detailed case study information.In Vietnam Oxfam worked used funds from the British government tobuild a sea-dyke, which stopped the sea flooding the fields and makingthe soil salty resulting in low rice yields. The building of the dyke aswell as increasing the yield of rice taught people building skills and thenew roads that were also built allowed the farmers to take the surplusrice to sell in the markets increasing their income.
