"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:
Partnership:
Partners : This project is executed by the
Project Coordinator, who is independent of
(the applicant NGO) and acts as “government”, with a small team of
specialists. The local populations participate fully in project execution for
about 25% of the formal money value of the project. The (applicant NGO) itself acts as
“parliament” to monitor on-going project activities. It reports to the auditing
commission (which may include donor and civil population representatives and
which has wide investigative powers ) which in turn reports and to the
independent auditor (name).
As a result of (or notwithstanding) this innovative project structure, which is quite different from that used for traditional projects, the applicant NGO (does not have, has) partners jointly responsible for project execution within the meaning of “partnership” as it is used by (the international funding agency). The (applicant NGO) (will, will not) make use of executive services of other, local, NGO’s with specialisation in specific project activities and who (will, will not) support the Project Coordinator as “specialists”. (In this role, the NGO’ s in question act as “associates” within the definition of this term used by most funding organisations.) (The associates are named in the project documentation and their tasks are defined. However, they do not share formal responsibility for project execution the way partners do.)

Partnership statement[1]
A partnership is a
relationship of substance between two or more organisations involving shared
responsibilities in undertaking the action funded by the (funding agency). To
ensure that the action runs smoothly, the (funding agency) requires all partners
(including the lead applicant that signs the contract) to acknowledge this by
agreeing to the principles of good partnership practice set out
below.
Principles of Good Partnership
Practice
1.
All partners must have read
the application form and understood what their role in the action will be before
the application is submitted to the (funding agency).
2.
All partners must have read
the standard grant contract or contribution agreement and understood what their
respective obligations under the contract will be if the grant is awarded. They
should authorise the lead applicant to sign the contract with the (funding
agency) and represent them in all dealings with the (funding agency) in the
context of the action's implementation.
3.
The applicant must consult
regularly with its partners and keep them fully informed of the progress of the
action.
4.
All partners must receive
copies of the reports - narrative and financial - made to the (funding
agency).
5.
Proposals for substantial
changes to the action (e.g. activities, partners, etc.) should be agreed by the
partners before being submitted to the (funding agency). Where no such agreement
can be reached, the applicant must indicate this when submitting changes for
approval to the (funding agency).
6.
Before the end of the action,
the partners should agree on an equitable distribution of equipment, vehicles
and supplies for the action purchased with the (funding agency) grant among
local partners situated in the target countries. Copies of the transfer titles
must be attached to the final report.

Co-donors:
Co-donors : This project will be
executed by the Project Coordinator, who is independent of (the applicant NGO) and acts as
“government”, with a small team of specialists. The local populations
participate fully in project execution for about 25% of the formal money value
of the project. (The applicant NGO)
itself acts as “parliament” to monitor on-going project activities. It reports
to the auditing commission (which may include donor and civil population
representatives and which has wide investigative powers ) which in turn reports
and to the independent auditor (name).
As a result of this innovative project structure, which is quite different from that used for traditional projects, the people in the project area themselves self-finance about 25% of the project costs. This financial participation is not “in kind”. Nor is the work done by generous “volunteers”. The work carried out by the local populations is actually paid for by the populations under the local money systems set up in an early phase of the project. The local money credits earned by those carrying out the activities are debited to the population in the project area. For the purposes of expressing this contribution in formal money as a percentage of the project costs, the credits for services rendered for project execution have been converted into Euros at the conventional rate of (Euro 3) for each eight-hour working day. The rate of conversion, and therefore the percentage participation of the local populations, has been (will be) agreed between applicants and the funding (agency) agencies. A higher conversion rate will usually lead to a higher percentage contribution of the local populations.
