In the fourth block: the structures to be
created, especially in section 3: the financial structures and in section 5. other productive structures the possibilities offered by integrated
development concepts in relation to on-going development were underlined.
Amongst other things, sustainable
technologies and services such as small units for the production of energy from bio-mass, milk
pasteurisation shops, the formation of sports clubs, theatre groups and the
like were mentioned.
Above all, the local populations can
dare to dream.
All on-going development is in
principle for 100% self-financed by the populations themselves, as most of the
activities will take place within the framework of the local money and
micro-credit systems set up by the projects.
Of course, if they wish to do so, the
populations always have the option to obtain finance from commercial banks and
operate in the formal economy sector. Those initiatives do not form part of the
range of operations covered by integrated development projects.
The market in each project area is
automatically structured at the levels of the tank commissions, the well commissions and the project area as a whole. What can be done at tank commission level is
organised at tank commission level. Activities of interest to several tank
commission areas are organised at well commission level. Even more specialised
activities are organised at project level.
In principle, producer, service
and consumer should be at the same
level.
