3.00 : Summary of the action:

3.01 Short description of the proposed action.

The project involves the drafting of an integrated development plan for the Barisal District of Bangladesh to meet nearly all of the Millennium goals there. The Model for ecological sustainable local integrated development projects devised by the Dutch NGO Stichting Bakens Verzet («Another Way ») is used for the preparation of the district plan. The Model incorporates a new vision of the relationship amongst the social, financial, productive and service structures necessary for local development. Full application of the Plan will provide a full range of sustainable services necessary for a good quality of life for the entire population (without exclusion) of about 8.250.000, divided amongst +/- 182 individual projects. Each of the +/- 182 projects will later be further refined in close cooperation with the inhabitants, who will also play an active role in their execution. Once the planned structures are in place the inhabitants will run, maintain, own and pay for them. Women play a leading role at all levels. 

The budget for the preparation of the Barisal Integrated Development Plan is Euro 500.000.

3.02 Short description of the national situation.

 

Bangladesh occupies position 140 at the lower end of the middle income countries in the UNDP Human Development Report 2007/2008, with a life expectancy of 63.1 years (2005) and pro-capita income (gross domestic productt) PPP US$ 2.053 (2005) per annum, or +/- US$ 5,60 per day. Officially, 26% of the population has no access to «improved » drinking water (2004) , 61% are without access to « improved »  sanitation (2004), 30% of the population is officially undernourished (2004) et 48% of children under 5 are underweight. The rate of mortality amongst children under the age of 5  was 73 per 1000 in 2005. The primary school enrolment rate is claimed to be 94% (2005), while 65% of children reach grade 5 and 44% or children have a secondary education. The figures given are nationaI averages. Distribution is unbalanced. The real situation in rural areas, the subject of this District Plan proposal, is worse than the national average. The quality of life, especially that  women and children from poor, disadvantaged, minority and tribal groups in the Barisal district is much lower than that portrayed and a cause of extreme concern.

 

Inhabitants, especially women, are often uninformed over their rights, over correct judicial process and good governance. They lack food security, access to credit and means to carry out commercial transactions. Housing quality is poor. Access to clean drinking water is limited and proper sanitation is universally lacking in rural areas. Hygiene education levels are poor.

 

With 160.000.000 inhabitants, Bangladesh is one of the world’s most populous nations.

 

3.03 Needs and constraints.

 

This proposal refers to decisions taken in connection with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) adopted in 2000 with a purpose of reducing the part of the world population without sustainable access to clean drinking water by 50% by 2015) and the decisions taken during the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) held in Johannesburg in 2002 with a purpose of reducing the part of the world population without sustainable access to sustainable sanitation by 50% and promoting efficient integrated structures for the management of water resources.)

Bangladesh is (with Nepal) the poorest country in Asia. Worse, income is not well distributed there and its rural and poor urban areas are recognised as being very poor. The number of people in the rural areas in Bangladesh with access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities is very low.

The country is densely populated, and the Barisal District area is prone to serious flooding.

It is clear that so long as traditional concepts of development are followed, the task of supplying clean drinking water and sanitation facilities to the people in the project area and of promoting their general development so as to ensure them a good quality of life is a very difficult, if not impossible one. New integrated development concepts are needed to ensure that the people enjoy a complete range of services essential to a good quality of life. A powerful local general mobilisation of the people in the project area is needed. The formal money cost of the mobilisation must at the same time be very low.

The proposed integrated development plan for the Barisal district will have a pilot function. Acceptance of the concepts applied in the plan as the basis for a strategic plan for sustainable integrated development at national level in Bangladesh would involve setting up about 3200 local integrated development projects there. The importance for Bangladesh of the preparation and subsequent execution of the proposed  Barisal District Plan is great. If the Plan is successful,  it could be emulated throughout Bangladesh and poverty eliminated there within just a few years.

3.04 Poor and vulnerable populations.

The proposal is based on the improvement of the quality of life of all of the inhabitants in the Barisal District of Bangladesh, without exclusion, and in particular of that of women, children, and the poorest.

During subsequent execution of the +/- 182 individual projects drafted (excluded from the preparation of the District plan), the people themselves, and in particular the women, are mobilised to create four thousand  sustainable occupations in each project area. With execution of all +/- 182 projects in the District, this means the creation of 680.000 new occupations.  The people set a full range of local social, financial, productive and service structures up. The individual projects are therefore not limited to drinking water supply and sanitation. They also cover, by way of example, structures for hygiene education for women and in schools, autonomous recycling at local level of organic and non-organic  wastes, local money systems, interest-free micro-credit structures for productivity development, structures for the local production of most of the items necessary for the basic services mentioned, communication systems, lighting for study purposes, local production of high efficiency stoves to eliminate smoke and health hazards in and around users’ homes, the production of mini-briquettes for use with the stoves, and structures at household level for the harvesting of rainwater. The drinking water structures are the ones requiring the highest formal money investment.

3.05 Relationship of the plan with the goals of the proposed District Plan and the Millennium Development Goals.

The district plan proposed comprises the drafting of +/- 182 innovative integrated development projects each of which provides for the establishment of numerous permanent, physical, and sustainable social, financial,  productive and service structures which all become the property of the inhabitants themselves, and in the management of which women play a dominating role. The inhabitants participate in  the planning, execution and management of the project structures. They sustainably organise, run, and maintain at their own cost all of the structures set up. The monthly contribution (Euro 0,60 – Tk 61 per person for the first three years, 0,75 – Tk 77 per person for the following seven years) paid by each family into the Cooperative Local Development Fund covers the entire range of services offered, and is affordable even to the poorest families, who benefit from a three tiered social security system itself integrated into the project structures. Sustainable hygiene education, drinking water, eco-sanitation systems at household level and structures for the recycling of organic and non-organic waste and for the elimination of smoke hazards inside users’ homes improve the conditions of health in the project area, and in particular that of women and children. Elimination of the use of wood for cooking leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions and to the protection of forests and the environment in general. The project sets up a complete, voluntary, cooperative, interest-free, inflation-free local economic environment entirely managed by the community itself.

Each individual project documentation included in the District Plan provides for the achievement (and surpassing) of nearly all of the Millennium Development Goals in the project area in question. Project documentations set out objective by objective exactly how this is done. Documentation files on major world issues such as food security, credit and food crises, ecology and conservation, education, fight against corruption, gender and women’s rights, health, policy implications, and water and sanitation provide summaries of the concrete solutions to them.

3.06 The added value of the proposed District Plan.

The proposed project is fully integrated in an innovative way. For about 6,15 eurocents (+/-  Taka 6,28) per inhabitant, a basis  can be laid out for the elimination  of poverty in the Barisal District of Bangladesh over a period of 4-5 years at a cost of about (Euro 100 – Taka 10.200) per person through the supply of a full range of basic structures necessary to a good quality of life, with the creation of several hundred thousand (+/- 680.000) individual and cooperative jobs and local money systems enabling limitless exchanges of locally produced goods and services in each project area. Each family will receive on an average at least Euro 2500 – Taka 255.000 in interest-free micro-credits for productivity increase over each period of 10 years. The success of a first pilot project in Bangladesh should lead to the formation of an integrated development strategy at national level, and to pilot projects in other countries.

Execution of the +/- 182 individual projects, starting with one or more  pilot projects, could be started early 2010 on condition the necessary initial formal money funds (Euro 75 -  Taka 7650) per person necessary for them are made available. The amount of initial formal money capital necessary for all 8.112.525 inhabitants of Barisal District is Euro 637.500.000 (Taka 65.025.000.000).  The amount of initial formal money capital necessary for all 160.000.000 inhabitants of Bangladesh is Euro 12.000.000.000 (Taka 1.224.000.000.000).   

In principle all of the +/- 182 individual projects in the Barisal District could be completed by 2015. In case of financial limitations, priority should be given to the poorest rural communities.

3.07 The practical short-term results of the proposed District Plan.

The drafting of the Barisal District Integrated Development Plan provides the following short-term results:

-A detailed documentation for the integrated development of the District of Barisal in Bangladesh.

-Identification of the social, financial, productive and service structures necessary for a good quality of life for all of the inhabitants of the Barisal District, including drinking water supply, sanitation, public education, and public health.

-Identification of the social, financial, productive and service structures necessary for a good quality of life for all of the inhabitants in each of the +/- 182 individual proejct areas each with about 50.000 inhabitants foreseen by the District Plan.

-An indication of the order of priority for the execution of individual projects where funds are lacking for the contemporaneous execution of all +/- 182 projects.

-Professional preparation of project coordinators for each of the  +/- 182 individual projects covered by the District Plan.

3.08 The practical medium-term results of the proposed District Plan.

Individual projects can be put into execution as soon as the proposed District Plan has been presented.

 

Pilot projects terminated by 31/03/2012 subject to prompt financing. 

All  +/- 182 projects terminated by le 31/03/2014 subject to prompt financing. 

Execution of each invidual project meets and surpasses nearly all of the Millennium Development Goals in the project area in question.

Execution of all +/- 182 individual projects meets and surpasses nearly all of the Millennium development goals in the Barisal district.

3.09 The practical long-term results of the proposed District Plan.

Each individual project area constitutes a powerful cooperative, interest-free, inflation-free local economic environment where individual intitiative and true competition are free to flourish. The +/- 182 local economies work together to form a strong District-level debt-free economy.

3.10 Evaluation of the results of the proposed District Plan.

The success of the preparation of the District Plan is measured as follows :

1. Physical:

The existence of +/- 182 complete individual project documentations, six sub-district collations, and the general detailed District Plan

2. Content :

The District Plan prepared must conform to the principles of the Model for self-financing, ecological, sustainable, local integrated development projects published at website www.flowman.nl

3. Publication :

The District Plan will be published; information to national and international press ; copies to District and National authorities of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh ; publication at website www.flowman.nl ; publication at the Developement Gateway system of the United Nations.

4. Final audit and its publication.

Submission of the final project audit, its approval by financing organisations, and its publication.

4.00 Methodology and sustainability of the +/- 182 projects to be drafted during the execution of the proposed District Plan.

 

4.01 The proposed activity is appropriate, practical and coherent.

 

The Barisal District Integrated Development Plan provides for the drafting of +/- 182 integrated development projects each setting up a cooperative, non-profit, interest-free, inflation-free economic environment up in its project area for the benefit of all of the +/- 50.000 inhabitants there, where individual initiative and true competition can flourish. Together the +/182 projects supply occupation for about 10% of the adult population and powerfully influence the economic development of the remaining 90%.

All of the social and economic structures and services set up are sustainably created, run, owned and paid for by the people themselves without the need for any financial assistance after their formation.  These local economic and management structures are set up during capacitation or organisational workshops run following the concepts developed by the Brazilian sociologist Clodomir Santos de Morais. The order in which these workshops are held is critical.

The new integrated sustainable development principles applied in this project call for a pre-determined sequence of activities offering an optimum guarantee to donors and funding organisations as to how their funds are used. First, the social structures, being the health clubs or the hygiene education structures (they constitute a platform for women’s participation), the tank or local development commissions, the well or intermediate level development commissions, and a central management structure are set up. Secondly, the financial structures, being the local money systems and the self-financing interest-free micro-credit systems are set up. Finally, productive structures are set up for the local production, using the financial systems created, of most of the articles necessary for the range of basic services foreseen, such as the distributed drinking water and eco-sanitation structures, which can then be installed.

4.02 Participation of the target groups for the +/- 182 local individual projects to be drafted in the course of the execution of the proposed District plan.

The District Plan provides for the drafting of +/- 182 individual projects each for an area with about 50.000 inhabitants.  It does not include the practical execution of the individual projects themselves. The practical execution of the individual projects is subject to the means made available by financing parties and/or by national government ministries interested in the integrated development of the Barisal District. A decision may be taken to start with the execution of one or more pilot projects. In the presence of sufficient funding, all +/- 182 individual projects can be put into execution contemporaneously.

The Model on which the District Plan is based, assumes a total lack of existing structures. This means that each of the +/- 182 individual projects foreseen will need to be adapted to take eventually existing structures into account.

The following description setting out the sequence of the main activities for the execution of each individual project is therefore indicative, and may be subject to adaptation from one project to another.

Initially about 200 Health Clubs, each based on 40-50 families of 5 people or 20 traditional extended family groups (200-300 people) are set up in each project area. They form a platform for women, to make sure they can organise themselves in groups and participate en  bloc at local development meetings and to play a dominant role in the various social, financial, service and productive structures set up.

Once the Health Clubs are in operation in a given project area, 200 tank or local development commissions are set up. They are based on the same groups of 20 extended families or 40-50 families of 5 (200-300 people). Each of the tank commissions has 3 - 5 members, all or at least most of whom are women. These commissions are the heart of the project. They in turn elect about 45 intermediate or well commissions, which in turn choose a 45 member central commission, which is the Project Parliament. The Central Commission nominates a central management unit and controls its activities.

Once the tank and well commissions and the central committee and the central management unit are in place, it is possible to set up the local money systems which offer the inhabitants in the project area means for the transfer of all locally produced and consumed goods and services. The art at this point is to identify and use technologies enabling most of the goods and services necessary to local development and a good quality of life in the project area to be produced in the project area with 100% local value added. Such goods and services can then be produced, installed, maintained and paid for under the framework of the local money systems set up, without the need for any formal money at all. An example applied in this project is the possibility to produce, install, manage, and maintain a complete dry composting eco-sanitation structure throughout the project area without the need for a cent of formal money. The costs of running the local money systems are covered under the local money systems themselves.

Once the LETS local money systems are in place, a distinction can be made between what can be done under the local money systems and what must be “imported” into the project area. For goods and services needed for basic urgently needed services  such as clean drinking water supply, use is made of the project’s seed funds to cover the formal money (Euros) cost of imported goods and services. For other initiatives cooperative interest-free micro-credit structures are put in place. These recycle monthly contributions (Euro 0,60 –Taka 61,2- per person for the first three years, and Euro 0,75 – Taka 76,5- per person for the following seven years) made by users into the Cooperative Local Development Fund in the form of interest-free micro-credits for sustainable productivity purposes, for the purpose of purchasing goods for productivity increase not locally produced. The micro-credit systems allow for at least Euro 2500 – Taka 255.000 - of interest-free micro-credit for each family during the first ten years of the project. Probably much more, as the Euro 2500 is conservatively based on an average two-year pay back time. The Cooperative Local Development Fund is set up as a project structure. It belongs to, and is run by the people themselves, at the beginning with professional support through the project Coordinator.. The costs of running the micro-credit structures are covered under the local money systems. 

Once the cooperative micro-credit structures and the LETS local money systems are in place, the production structures can be set up, and in particular units for the production of articles from gypsum composites. Amongst the priority items for manufacture in these factories are products necessary for the water supply project such as water tanks, well linings, water containers, etc.  When capacity is available they can start making the planned ecological sanitation systems, and other necessary items such as high efficiency stoves, rainwater harvesting systems, construction components. Where cheap gypsum or anhydrite deposits are present in or near the project area, little or no formal money is needed either for the raw materials or for production, installation and maintenance. Small amounts of formal money may be needed to cover the purchase of gypsum in other areas of Bangladesh or adjacent countries, and its transport to the project area.

 

4.03 The sustainable impact of the +/- 182 local projects to be drafted in the course of the execution of the proposed District Plan.

The Barisal District Integrated Development Plan comprises the drafting of +/- 182 individual ecological and sustainable local integrated development projects. The actual development of the District takes place through the execution of all +/- 182 individual integrated development projects foreseen by the District Plan.

Apart from structures basic to poverty reduction and an improved quality of life, such as hygiene education at home and in the schools, water supply, sanitation in the homes at schools and in clinics, solar lighting for study purposes, solar refrigeration for medicines in clinics, improved cooking stoves with elimination of smoke hazards in and around homes, and improvements to educational and health facilities etc. no  attempt is made in the individual projects to be drafted and included in the district plan to list all of the initiatives which could take place there, as these are as varied as the minds and wishes of the people.

However, any services the local people may consider of special importance can always be included in the project for their area and itemised in its budget. Some examples are the setting up of a local radio station, setting up local milk shops for the pasteurisation and distribution of milk, the creation of cooperative storage facilities for food, especially for food for local consumption, the creation of a seed bank and the draining and re-structuring of market squares and public places. Many such poverty reduction initiatives may require some project-level formal money funds. Some of them are provided for in the project budget in question. Other initiatives, for instance, creating sports clubs, theatre groups, local consultants’ offices, or communications centres, plant nurseries, reforestation etc would typically be carried out under a combination of the LETS local money systems and the interest-free micro-credit systems.

The contributions made by users into their Cooperative Local Development Fund in each project area will be sufficient, were this to be necessary, to finance and repay an interest free formal currency loan for up to Euro 3.750.000 over a period of 10 years, taking the various reserves and loan repayments into account. Should payments out of reserves be higher than expected, the project administration for the area in question may choose to increase the monthly contribution of the families after four or five years, as their standard of living improves.  Interest-free loans for various project structures transferred by the project to private persons or cooperatives are paid back into the Cooperative Local Development Fund over a period of 3-5 years. These loans include those for the gypsum composites manufacturing units, the briquette manufacturing units, public transport cooperatives (buses), and the maintenance and installation cooperatives (vehicles). At the end of the first ten years' period, on repayment, where appropriate, of any ten year interest-free loan, large capital reserves will again be built up during the next following ten years for use in Micro-credits and, subsequently, for the extension and renewal of capital goods. In case of loan repayment after ten years, funds available for interest-free micro-credits will be temporarily reduced to zero. Since the families continue to make their monthly payments to the Cooperative Local Development Fund, the capital in the Fund for micro-credits will gradually build up again during the second period of ten years as it did during the first period of ten years. Where the original seed funding for a given project is provided by way of grant, the large amount of capital in the Fund at the close of the first period of ten years will continue to circulate for micro-credit loans and accumulate. Some or all of it may be invested to extend project structures.

The principles of sustainable integrated development on which the projects to be drafted under the District Plan are based are such that all, or at least a part, of  users’ monthly  contributions to each individual project’s Cooperative Local Development Fund can be covered by savings in their current expenditure which are a direct consequence of  the use of the project structures set up. For instance, users no longer need to make formal money payments for drinking water, for wood for cooking, or for rubbish collection. Some sustainable applications under the project reduce CO2 emissions. The main one is through the use of locally-produced high efficiency cooking stoves, others are the substitution of the use of kerosene lamps by solar home systems, and of some pumping systems by solar or advanced hand-pump technologies, and the reduction of the use of non-rechargeable batteries.

Women in particular benefit from the presence in project areas of time-saving services. At least one hour per day  currently dedicated to fetching water, four hours a week from the presence of washing facilities, four hours a week currently dedicated to collecting fire-wood. The installation of milling units at local level means that women can save up to two hours a day currently dedicated to crushing staple foods.

 

There are also major project savings deriving from reduced health costs. Water-borne diseases should be eliminated in each project area. Everyone there will have a good diet and live in a less smoky living environment, with a corresponding reduction in the number of cases of  illness and death. Malaria will not be eliminated, but its frequency will be drastically reduced through the draining of stagnant surface waters, use of mosquito nets, and hygiene education courses. Because people are more healthy they are able to do more work, and their productivity automatically increases. There will be a sharp reduction in the costs of getting sick people to hospitals.

 

Elimination of the use of wood for cooking leads automatically to re-forestation and environmental improvements in each project area.

 

The use of eco-sanitation techniques means that the inhabitants themselves produce all of the fertilisers (and water) they need to produce their own locally produced food supplies, so that food no longer needs to be imported into project areas.

 

4.04 Risk analysis.

 

The District Plan project comprises the short-term (3 months) collection and systematic organization of information  necessary for the drafting of +/- 182 local integrated development projects each with about 50.000 inhabitants.

The main risk factor is that of physical accident to the student researchers sent to the rural areas to collect the information necessary for the drafting of the projects for which they are responsible. The researchers will by preference be women, and will be required to go to even the most isolated places.

Since every effort will be made to find researchers originally coming from the planned project areas, problems are not expected in their relations with the local populations.

There may be some risk of theft of money during the course of the missions. This risk will be fully discussed during the workshops where the researchers are prepared for their missions and where necessary steps can be planned to reduce this risk.

Risk of limitation to free movement of the researchers caused by corrupt officials is not considered  to be a problem in the Barisal District, and  the provision of researchers with an official laissez-passer is not considered necessary.

5.03 The practical execution of the proposed Barisal District Plan.

Execution of the action for the drafting of the proposed Barisal District Plan will be placed in the hands of a group of students who will draft the +/- 182 individual projects necessary.

The applicant is Project Coordinator for the drafting of the District Plan. Together with the General Consultant he is responsible for the training and supervision of the student researchers.

 

The student researchers the authors of the individual project documentations which together form the District Plan automatically qualify as coordinators for the execution of the individual projects they have written.

 

The first coordinator, acting  is Mr Mohammed Moniruzzaman

 

Mr Moniruzzaman served as Staff Reporter in DAILY PROBASHI News and the Weekly BARTA Papers from 20-01-1991 to 30-12-1993. While continuing work with BARTA he was Publicity Secretary for the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society from 06-01-1994 to 15-10-1996. He has been associated with social development activities since 1990 and directly involved in the Water and Sanitation Program in Bangladesh since 1996. With the funding of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and through the Local Government Department and the Secondary Town Infrastructure Development Project-11, he worked on the implementation of  the Public Sanitation and Water Supply Program for 8 (Eight) Years. He is linked with many National and International Fora and Networks. He acts for Bangladesh for the 6 (Six) Round HIV/AIDS Global Fund. He is associated with training activities on Water Safety Plan (WSP) jointly sponsored by Bangladesh GARNET-SA and EPDRC. He is connected with Both-ENDs for the implementation of 6 (Six) Water Treatment Plants in the Southern Part of Bangladesh, a fatal SIDR Affected Area. He is also associated with Water and Sanitation Improvement Activities undertaken in collaboration with GWP, CEGIS, LGED, WIN and GWA. At present he is Steering Committee Member and Regional Representative of United Nation Office for Project Service – WSSCC in South Asia.

 

The named consultant (Terrence Edward MANNING) is (director of the Dutch NGO Stichting Bakens Verzet.) He is the author of the innovative Model on the basis of which this the +/- 110 projects to be drafted in execution of the Plan will be based. NGO Stichting Bakens Verzet is responsible for the promotion of the Model for sustainable integrated development  in question, which it has placed in the public domain. NGO Stichting Bakens Verzet,  through its director Mr Manning, has also cooperated in the drafting of this proposal for the Barisal District Integrated Development Plan, in the sole interests of the local populations and without remuneration, as a voluntary contribution to the development of the Barisal District of Bangladesh. The NGO Stichting Bakens Verzet has agreed to make Mr. Manning available to act as general consultant to the project coordinator for the executive management of the District Plan for the daily pro-diem payment foreseen by the European Union for European expatriate staff in Bangladesh. The dedication of the NGO Stichting Bakens Verzet to the preparation of this proposal and Mr Manning’s unique personal knowledge of the innovative development principles in question make him particularly suitable for this position.

 

One of the secondary project goals of the District Plan is the intensive training of young people in the concepts and methods behind the Model for ecological sustainable local development projects promoted by NGO Stichting Bakens Verzet so that they will in turn be in a position to act as coordinators for the execution of the +/- 182 individual projects they have drafted. At the start of the execution of the Plan a two-week seminar will be held with the students involved, to teach them the basic aspects of the Model. They will then learn full details as they each draft one of the +/- 182 project documents under the on-going supervision of the Consultant.

 

Other interested parties originating inside and outside the Barisal District will be invited to participate in the Moraisian workshops and in the activities for the preparation of the +/- 182 individual projects there to gain the experience necessary to ensure rapidly ever-widening repeatability of this project initiative.

 

5.04 List of the proposed individual project areas for subscription by local NGOs.

 

The Thana populations have been calculated by multiplying the 1991 figures by a factor of 1.4, then (generally) rounding off to the nearest 50.000. Indications of population distribution within thanas are not available. As a rule, about 40% has been attributed to the thana centre and the rest distributed evenly amongst the rural areas on a land area basis.

 

Manpura, with an estimated population of 72.000 is too small for two projects. It will therefore have a single, large project.

 

Exact borders between individual project areas will be determined by the researchers and the population figures adjusted project by project according to the reality in the field.

6.05. Indicative budget for the execution the +/- 182 individual projects  comprising the District plan  (integrated development for  8.250.000 inhabitants)

 

The expected initial formal money investment is Euro 75 (Taka 7650)  for each inhabitant, or  Euro 3.750.000 (Taka 382.500.000) for each project area with 50.000 inhabitants.

 

Assuming 170 projects, the total cost of the initial formal money investment  for all the projects together would be Euro 3.750.000 x 170, or Euro 637.500.000 (Taka 65.025.000.000).

 

The total amount of all 170 projects together would be Euro 850.000.000 (Taka 86.700.000.000) of which about 25% is paid by the local populations under the local money systems set up in an early phase of the execution of each individual project.

 

Period for the completion of the 170 individual projects, subject to financing : December 2015.

 

6.06 The order of priority for the execution of the 170 projects.

 

The final order of priority is a political decision of the District Assembly or of the National Government.

 

Recommendations will be made in the District plan, based on available statistics and reports made by the research teams during their visits to the individual project areas during the 45 days of the research phase of the Plan.

 

The criteria most likely to be applied are:

 

1) The poorest rural zones in the poorest districts.

2) The poorest rural zones in the other districts.

3) The less poor rural zones in the poorest districts.

4) The less poor rural zones in the other districts.

5) Towns in the poorest districts.

6) Towns in the less poor districts..

 

Preference is given to execution of projects in rural areas rather than in the towns , so as to block, and if possible, reverse migratory exodus from rural areas to the towns.

 

6.07 Example of a typical budget for the execution of a local integrated development project included in the District Plan (for 50.000 inhabitants).

 

The budget is subject to adaptation project by project according to local conditions and the needs expressed by the local populations.

 

(A complete budget will be completed during the drafting of the Student’s own project in Section D of the course. It is not part of this exercise).
