As the structures, and especially the social and financial structures are formed and operative they are transferred by the 07. the cooperative for project execution  to the  06. permanent cooperative for the on-going management of the structures.  The decision on the moment of passage of each structures is the responsibility of  the 07. Cooperative for project execution the Board of which acts on the basis of recommendations made by the project Coordinator.

 

This passage can take place at different moments for each level of a given structure. In 06. the permanent cooperative for the management of structures  in the  third block : Section 2 : Division of responsibilities amongst three  project levels, the issue of a kind of «organised confusion » was raised. For example : one tank commission may be operating independently and applying the local money system in an advanced way; another tank commission may still not be operative. One tank commission has organised the laying of the feed pipe for its drinking water system and taken delivery of its solar pump system ; another may not even have started digging the trenches for the feed pipe to its tank.  One well commission may have installed its system for the registration of local money transactions thereby enabling the tanks commissions in its area to work under the local money system while another has not even started. A comparison can be made with a teacher offering individualised lessons to the children in his/her class, where each pupil develops at his own speed.

 

The cooperative for project executions does not pass individual  structures to the permanent cooperative for the management of structures until the structure in question is operative. The first is responsible for the start up of each structure, the second for its on-going management. This feature makes integrated development projects different from traditional development aid initiatives.

 

1. Opinion.

 

On one page, convince the Councillors of your Council of the advantages of this system..    

 

Speed of execution  of your project will tend to increase exponentially as the project proceeds. Ever more operative structures increasing the production potential of the populations are made available.

 

2. Opinion.

 

Imagine you are an elderly woman who sees these changes taking place. Describe her reaction to them on one page.

 

It is expected that women have a greater personal interest in progress made with the project. With each added structure progress accelerates. Men like quick action.

 

3. Opinion.

 

On one page, explain when you think men will « jump on board the  bandwagon ». Why would they do so?  

 

The period of two years allowed for the execution of a development project seems very short for the creation and start-up of all of the structures foreseen. In section 1. Nesting and subsidiarity of this block of the course, you were asked to convince a funding party that your project is down to earth and based on reality and not on dreams.

 

4. Opinion.

 

As soon as the men in a project area «jump on board » new, powerful,  forces are freed for the benefit of the project.. On one page explain what you think would happen at that point.

 

5. Opinion.

 

Each project creates permanent structures making powerful on-going development in the project area possible. On one page explain what do you think  the long term limits to this development are? What do you think of the concept of infinite development?
