Section 4: Plan proposal for the integrated development of your country.

 

Preparation of the plan. (At least 2 hours).

 

The steps needed to set up a national integrated development plan, more or less without cost, were described in  the necessary information  in this section 4 Plan proposal for the integrated development of your country of this  seventh block:  Regional and national plans.  It was seen how the local money costs of the system could be distributed at individual level.  It was seen that the contribution amounted to just a few seconds work per inhabitant per year.

 

It was seen that the national office team would have just  4-5 person, being :

 

-one person for the collection (receipt) of information supplied at regional (and individual project) levels

-one person for the coordination of the information and the creation de statistics.

-one person for the physical reproduction of the information (brochures ; reports etc)

-one person for external relations (government ;  press ; requests for information ; communications with those responsible at regional level : etc).

- (optional) one person for on-going analysis of developments.

 

Individual project systems inform their members and manage their relations with each other.

The regional systems inform the individual projects and manage their relations with each other.

The national system informs the regional systems and manages its relations with them

 

It has also been presumed that just 0,25% of 100% of all local money transactions would fall under the  relations amongst regions.

 

What is the purpose of having a national level of a local money system.?

 

1. Opinion.

 

On one page, give your opinion on the function of conservation of registered local money transactions. In principle individual projects would independently keep transaction registrations carried out by their members;   the regions would independently keep registrations on the transactions amongst individual project systems in their region ; the national system would keep registrations of the (few) transactions carried out amongst different regions.

 

2. Opinion.

 

Provide a one-page opinion on the central management of statistics supplied by the regional systems. How would you see them work ?

 

3. Opinion.

 

On one page describe how you think relations between the formal money system and the local money system would be managed.

 

In traditional economic systems, the international level is considered the most important one, then the national level, while the regional level is considered less important and local level economies are not considered very important at all. In integrated development projects under the Model, taking the freedom of users to use formal money to carry out their transactions, the order of importance is exactly the opposite. Local level transactions within individual  project areas dominate, transactions between individual project areas within a region are less important, and those between project areas in different regions less important still.

 

Review your work in section 1 analysis of the causes of poverty  of the first block poverty and quality of life and sections 1. Basic concepts - introduction and   2. Basic concepts – in-depth analysis in section 3 the financial structures  of the fourth block  the structures to be created. 

 

4. Research.

 

On one page, justify  the differences between the two approaches..

 

«Application of the Integrated Development concepts in the Model would take us into a new age of darkness ».

 

5. Opinion.

 

Outline on one page the reasons which might justify this opinion. 

 

6. Opinion.

 

On one page provide answers to the points made in exercise 5.
