Genuine progress indicator. Genuine Progress Indicator, or GPI, is a metric that has been suggested to replace, or supplement, gross domestic product (GDP) as a measure of economic growth. GPI is designed to take fuller account of the health of a nation's economy by incorporating environmental and social factors which are not measured by GDP. For instance, some models of GPI decrease in value when the poverty rate increases.[1] The GPI is used in green economics, sustainability and more inclusive types of economics by factoring in environmental and carbon footprints that businesses produce or eliminate. "Among the indicators factored into GPI are resource depletion, pollution, and long-term environmental damage. GPI is an attempt to measure whether the environmental impact of the products produced and consumed in a country is a negative or positive factor in economic health, and also account for the amount of people currently dependent on the government for support.

Summary The Cambodian Rural Development Team plan to install 15 biodigestors, providing rural families along the central strip of the Mekong with a clean and renewable source of energy for lighting & cooking. What is the issue, problem, or challenge? The villages lie along the Mekong between Kratie and Stung Treng in Cambodia. The inhabitants are subsistence farmers who depend heavily on the area’s diminishing natural resources.
Their proximity and reliance on a huge area of natural forest, wildlife and the remaining habitats of the critically endangered Irrawaddy Dolphin, means that providing the technology to produce clean, renewable energy will end the need for non-sustainable timber, help protect the environment & reduce climate change. How will this project solve this problem? We fit a waste-to-energy technology called a biodigestor, train people to use it, and show how to use the organic fertilizer by-product with vegetable gardens.
