02. General sketch of the
financial structures.(At least 2 hours)
Click to view a chart showing the financial structures for the execution of a typical integrated
development project.
This is obviously about formal
money payments
involving the initial financing provided by donors and financing parties.
Initial finance is received
interest-free from donors, the funds are spent on project structures, and where necessary can be repaid in a single
lump sum at the end of the first ten year period.
Review the introduction and the in-depth analysis of
the financial structures in the
fourth block the structures to be created of the course.
1. Research.
At the centre of the chart, towards the bottom, the «project
coordinator » in marked in.. On one page, trace and described the
financial operations of the project coordinator.
2. Research.
A the top of the chart, toward the left, there are three crimson blocks under the heading «external
finance ». On one page, trace and describe the operations concerning
external funds, both in relation to expenditure and (eventual) repayments.
3. Research.
The formal money (Euro 3.750.000 for each individual project) is spent at
three different levels :.directly in Euros /dollars from a foreign
bank ; from a national level bank account ; and from a local bank
account. On one page explain the reasons for this.
4. Research.
At the bottom of the chart, towards the left, there is an orange
block named « cooperative local
development fund». On one page, trace and describe the financial operations
relating to the Fund, above all its relations with the micro-credit system, the production units,
and the tank commissions. Consult, as necessary :
Interest-free micro-credit
systems - introduction and Interest-free micro-credit
systems - details in the section on
financial structures in the
fourth block the structures to be created of the course.

mini-briquettes, Installation
and maintenance cooperatives in the section productive structures of the fourth
block the structures to be created.

the
structures to be created.
5. Research.
In the upper
part of the chart, towards the left, there is an orange and red block with the
«Executive NGO» .Its financial role seems to be rather limited. On one
page explain why. If
necessary consult :
The cooperative for the execution of the project in the section on the division of tasks in the third bock solutions to the problems.
During the course, reference has
often been made to financial leakage from poor areas. Above all in section 1 analysis of the causes of poverty
in the first block poverty and quality of life. From the
chart, it can be seen that an large part of the formal money finance for the
projects is paid out directly from Euro/dollar accounts. This money «never
reaches its final destination ». It could be said that the errors committed
over 60 years of the modern history of foreign aid are merely being repeated.
6. Opinion.
Write a dialogue of up to two pages between you and a foreign aid
operator who has chosen to take this critical point of view.
