Goods on Country

Theory of Change

The whole project model, using current records and clear boundaries between what is verified, modelled, intended and still a pathway.

Whole Goods on Country model

Useful goods, made and supported closer to home

Problem

Remote households face costly, short-lived goods, limited local work and waste plastic with nowhere useful to go.

What goes in

Community authority, products, recycled plastic, production tools, people, buyers, capital and evidence.

Current record

540 beds · 23 washers · 11 communities

Each record keeps its place, status and evidence source.

Health

current + pathway

540 beds and 23 washers recorded

Durable goods support off-the-ground sleep and cleaner bedding.

Health outcomes require a partner clinical method.

Employment

current + pathway

3,510 hours modelled

Community organisations choose and pay local crews to make and deliver.

Production logs replace the model with paid hours.

Recycling

current + pathway

3,540 kg modelled

Waste HDPE becomes durable parts and, where viable, local feedstock.

Every batch is weighed before this becomes measured.

Enterprise

current + pathway

320 paid beds from four organisations

Community enterprises sell beds and keep their sale proceeds.

Ownership is recorded only when community holds the assets, payroll and buyer.

Change we are working toward

Useful goods in homes, paid work and value staying in participating communities.

Decision rule

Communities choose participation. Buyers confirm demand and authority. People approve outreach and opportunities.

Evidence loop

Assets, paid hours, plastic, sales, service and consented stories replace assumptions with measured evidence.

Current means recorded today. Modelled numbers remain labelled. Community ownership and health outcomes remain pathways until verified.
