I'm genuinely interested to know if the altruistic/community driven ethos of these efforts ever last? Once the NGO leaves town and the local federalè or whoever notices a nice little income stream?

Read the article:

'At this price, the community reaps a profit of about 49,000 pesos, or $3,600, per year. The community has appointed a committee to manage the incoming funds, setting aside some money for maintenance and repair of the system, and investing the rest back into the community.'

How would this work in areas where local cartels already have control over these types of assets?
