Social security structures of the Model for integrated development projects.
All of the inhabitants in each project area participate in all of the
structures set up. That means that all the elderly, the ill, and the
handicapped also participate without exclusion in the project and benefit from
all the project structures. The financial structures created offer them
protection at several levels in relation to both their formal money system
debts and their local money system debts.
Together the structures created form an advanced social support network,
the rules for which are set up by the central commission (the project
parliament) after its constitution. For more details on the proposed social
security system see 5. Three-tiered social security structure, in Section 2: Social
structures of the fourth block:
the structures to be created.
In principle, solidarity actions will take place mostly within the
framework of the local money systems created in each individual project area.
This enables them to be «monetised» and therefore quantified in local money
terms. Local money debits accumulated by the elderly, the sick, the
handicapped, or the very poor, can be distributed amongst the adult members
(all of them, some of them, the youngest ones) of his or her family, or amongst
the entire group served by a tank commission, or amongst the entire group
served by a well commission, or even among the entire adult population in the
project area.
Costs redistribution will
usually begin at tank commission level.
Where the solution to problems is beyond the possibilities of the tank
commission area the old, sick,
handicapped or poor person belongs to, part (or all) of the problems can be
referred to the well commission
which serves the tank commission
For
your project area:
1. Research.
On one page :
a) Make a list of the groups of people
in your chosen area who would need social community support.
b) Give an indication of the number of
people in each group.
c) Give an indication for each group of
which forms of help its members would need.
d) Give an indication of the number of
hours’ assistance per month each person
in each group would need.
e) Calculate the total number of hours
of assistance per month per group.
f) Calculate the number of hours of
assistance per month for all of the groups together.
g) On the basis of 10 local money units
per hour of work, calculate the total cost per month of support services,
expressed in local money.
2. Opinion.
On one page, describe how you would
organise the distribution of the total debits of all the people receiving
assistance amongst the three administrative project levels :tank
commission, well commission, and central commission.
Suppose
that system contributors (including the beneficiaries themselves !!) were
200 at each tank commission level, 1200
at each well-commission, and 36.000 at project level.
Suppose
there are 200 tanks, 30 boreholes, and 1 project .
3. Research.
On one page, on the basis of the
distribution of debits amongst the three administrative levels in your opinion,
calculate the local money debits to the charge of each contributor (including
the beneficiaries themselves !!). On the basis of 10 local money units per
hour, how many hours of work per month does that represent ? What are your
conclusions ?
Proceed with the preparation of your report on Section 2 of Block 1 :
Services at the basis of a good quality of life.
