"Money is not the key that
opens the gates of the market but the bolt that bars them"
Gesell, Silvio The Natural
Economic Order
Revised English edition, Peter
Owen, London 1958, page 228
Edition 12:
As
the various phases of the project are executed, ownership in the various
structures formally passes to the people of the project area. Until all debts
have been repaid, the project coordinator will retain the right to recover any
installation supplied under the project should the people not meet their
financial obligations for them. Where formal money seed funds are obtained by
way of interest-free seed loan, the interest free loans will be repaid over a
period of 10 years. Until repayment has been completed, the project coordinator
will retain responsibility for maintenance and administration.
Before
the project starts, the project coordinator will offer to provide on-going
maintenance, training of maintenance operators, and administration for an agreed
fee for at least ten years. Pumps and structures have a life-span of more than
20 years. Once the seed capital has been fully repaid at the end of ten years,
on-going monthly contributions will create a large surplus for future renewals
and extensions of the project facilities. Until it is needed, this money can be
re-invested interest free in micro-credit loans for local development.
Ownership
of drinking water installations, PV lighting and refrigeration and water testing
equipment installations in schools and clinics will be vested in the tank
commissions where the schools and clinics are located. Ownership of
installations at tank commission level is vested in the tank commissions.
Ownership of installations at well commission level is vested in the well
commissions. Ownership of property and equipment at central project level will
be vested in the project management.
(How
ownership of structures is formally vested at the various levels will vary from
project to project.) For this project the creation of several hundred separate
trusts and legal entities for the project would be complicated and expensive.
Formal ownership will be vested in the project through its chosen Central
Management and held by Central Management on trust for the various tank- and
well-commissions, the Cooperative Local Development Fund, and the micro-credit
and the local money system structures.
(Ownership
of PV lighting sanitation services and refrigeration installations in clinics
outside the project area serving users inside the project area needs to be
separately discussed. ) (Not applicable for this project).
