The arrival of the productive assets for individual household economic rehabilitation schemes were heralded by traditional village drummers, whose drumming brought villagers to a gathering place where they could claim their new assets. In this case newly constructed ox carts had arrived by truck. These were made by local carpenters and were chosen by many families to take advantage of improved, asphalt access roads that linked the new resettlement sites to the outside. The access these roads brought was one benefit of the resettlement program, since access from the old village sites had usually been problematic.
