05.44 : On-going maintenance
structures.
All installation and on-going
maintenance operations on project structures will be carried out by local people
within the framework of the local money systems set up. The formal money costs
of some spare parts are covered out of the Cooperative Local Development
Fund.
Inhabitants interested in
installation and maintenance are trained during the Moraisian workshops carried
out during the first 12 months of project execution. They are expected to form
one or more installation and maintenance cooperatives. The people themselves
will decide how the cooperatives, will operate. Organisation may be at project
level, well commission level, or tank commission level. Specialisation may take
place according to the type of service involved.
Since most products for water
storage and harvesting, sanitation, cooking and briquette-making are locally
made, installation and operation and maintenance groups may be run by the
productive facilities involved.
One or more separate
installation and maintenance groups will be formed for the drinking water supply
system. Specific training in the
installation and maintenance of pumps and photovoltaic equipment will usually be
supervised by the general consultant to the project coordinator. The project
ensures that initial stocks of spare parts for pumps and solar equipment are
purchased and made available to the maintenance cooperatives. These stocks are
kept and maintained by the project management our of the Cooperative Local
Development Fund. The formal money costs of all spare parts are included in the
monthly contributions paid by the families into the Cooperative Local
Development Fund. The financial system is inherently sustainable, as only a
small part of the funds paid into the Cooperative Local Development Fund are
needed for maintenance operations. Most maintenance costs are for travelling and
labour. These are paid by the local inhabitants in under the local money
systems.
Local money maintenance costs
of structures at project level are distributed amongst all of the inhabitants in
the project area.
Local money maintenance costs
of structures at well commission level are distributed amongst all of the
inhabitants in the well commission area.
Local money maintenance costs
of structures at tank commission level are distributed amongst all of the
inhabitants in the tank commission area.
