numerous renewable energy applications, with an important role for women in

The project is 100%
ecological. With regard to energy consumption, hand labour carried out under the
local money systems set is privileged. The basis of calculation of this money
system is the perceived value of one hour's work and the contiunous
interest-free recycling of the available trading units at local level.
At a second level, the
project privileges the use of renewable energy sources. The use of wood and
charcoal for cooking is eliminated. Organic and non-organic wastes are locally
recycled at the lowest level possible. Zero energy local production units are
set up to make items from gypsum necessary for project execution from gypsum
composite. The manufacturing processes require no energy other than human muscle
energy. Used (grey) water is recycled at household level. Used water in the
gypsum composite production units is internally recycled for manufacturing
purposes.
The social and financial
structures set up under the project offer a three tiered soicial security system
for the aged, the sick and the handicapped, covering both their formal money and
their local money obligations to the project, and in with respect to their
general quality of life. For example, a sick person may be freed from his local
money debits at the decision of the local tank commission. The debits may be
re-dristributed amongst members of his family, amongst cooperative groups willing to
support the waker members of society, amongst all of the families referring to a
tank commission, , amongst all of the families referring to a well commission,
and in extreme cases amongst all of the families in the project area. Formal
money monhtly contributions to the Cooperative Local Development Fund can be
subsidised by the tank commission, which receives a small fund for this purpose,
by family members, or by all of the families referring to a tank or well
commission.
A final environmental report
must be submitted in accordance with Annexe 18 : The
environmental laws applicable to this project.
