to the problems.
Review
the 05.07 Statutes of the Cooperative Association for he
On-going Management of Project Structures of the Model.
Article
12 provides:
“Article
12: The Central Committee represents the Association. It may delegate some of
its tasks to a general management which it elects and the activities of which
it controls.
Property
of the Association is held in the name of [name of the cooperative] "the
Central Committee"
Property of the well commissions is held in the name of [name of the cooperative] "the Central Committee for the account
of the [well commission in question]"
Property of the tank commissions is held in the name of [name of the cooperative] " the Central
Committee for the account of the [tank commission in question]"
Ownership of the local money structures is held in the name of [name of the
cooperative] " the Central
Committee for the account of [the local
money structures]"
Ownership of the micro-credit structures is held in the name of [name of the
cooperative] “the Central Committee for
the account of the [the micro-credit structure]" ”
Read the paragraph The traditional chiefs and land ownership in
the second part of
section 9 political implications in the fifth block how fourth block structures solves specific problems.
The ownership and management of
tribal and collectively-owned lands are important issues within the framework
of integrated development projects, both in relation to the formal money sector
and to the local money sector. From the paragraph on the
traditional chiefs and land ownership it can be seen how the
project structures make the management of tribal lands easier.
The issue of property is often
very complex. Article 119 of the Venezuelan Constitution (1999) provides :
“Article
119:
The
State recognizes the existence of indigenous peoples and communities, their
social, political and economic organization, their cultures, practices and
customs, languages and religions, as well as their habitat and original rights
to the lands they ancestrally and traditionally occupy, and which are necessary
to develop and guarantee their way of life. It shall be the responsibility of
the National Executive, with the participation of the native peoples, to
demarcate and guarantee the right to collective ownership of their lands, which
shall be inalienable, not subject to the law of limitations and non
transferable, in accordance with this Constitution and the law. “ Domingo
Sanchez P (FUNDESIN), A New Reality for
1. Opinion.
Make a two-page analysis of the land ownership systems in your project
area and their relationship with integrated development projects. After a short introduction,
describe traditional land tenure, then the formal rights recognised by the laws
of your country. Then analyse the possibilities of «legalising » or
«formalising » those rights within the framework of the permanent
management of integrated development projects. What would be the reaction
of the chiefs and of the populations? In
your conclusion analyse the risks, if you think there are any, linked with
tribal lands in a world subject to economic
globalisation.
2. Research.
On one page, make a list of
traditional activities connected with tribal lands which would be suitable for management within the
framework of an integrated development project in your chosen area. Next to
each item, note your explanation.
Drinking water supply structures
include, amongst others :
Wells, boreholes.
Washing areas.
Hand-pumps.
Guard structures.
Solar pumps.
Photovoltaic panels and support
systems
Land where well/borehole systems
are placed.
Feed pipes.
Water tanks.
Land where water tanks are
placed.
Operative centre for the
maintenance of structures.
Maintenance equipment.
Spare parts stocks.
3. Research.
On one page, define the ownership of the above structures in terms of
Article 12 of the Statutes. Watch out for activities placed in the hands of independent
cooperatives !
Equipment and spare parts are
purchased at central level. This is to obtain the benefits from bulk purchases
and avoid eventual financing problems.
4. Opinion.
Suppose that a tank commission needs to replace the solar pump serving
its tank. There are replacements for the pump in the project stores. On one
page describe in detail exactly which procedure you think would be followed to
get the new pump installed.. Attention should be focused in particular on the registration of
the ownership transfers involved.
