The best visual aids need to be stripped down, since an excess of detail only confuses thinking, with symbolised or coded design, linked to important features of the local environment. How can you illustrate, for example, the withdrawal of the State? How about drawing a donkey pulling a cart full of yams, which fall off more and more as the contraption struggles up a slope the latter representing the development curve ? A participatory approach.
