As the various phases of the project are executed, ownership in the
various structures formally passes to the people of the project area. Until all
debts have been repaid, the project coordinator will retain the right to
recover any installation supplied under the project should the people not meet
their financial obligations for them. Where formal money seed funds are
obtained by way of interest-free seed loan, the interest free loans will be
repaid over a period of 10 years. Until repayment has been completed, the
project coordinator will retain responsibility for maintenance and
administration.
Before the project starts, the project
coordinator will offer to provide on-going maintenance, training of maintenance
operators, and administration for an agreed fee for at least ten years. Pumps
and structures have a life-span of more than 20 years. Once the seed capital
has been fully repaid at the end of ten years, on-going monthly contributions
will create a large surplus for future renewals and extensions of the project
facilities. Until it is needed, this money can be re-invested interest free in
micro-credit loans for local development.
Ownership of drinking water installations, PV
lighting and refrigeration and water testing equipment installations in schools
and clinics will be vested in the tank commissions where the schools and
clinics are located. Ownership of installations at tank commission level is vested
in the tank commissions. Ownership of installations at well commission level is
vested in the well commissions. Ownership of property and equipment at central
project level will be vested in the project management.
(How ownership of structures is formally vested
at the various levels will vary from project to project.) For this project the
creation of several hundred separate trusts and legal entities for the project
would be complicated and expensive. Formal ownership will be vested in the
project through its chosen Central Management and held by Central Management on
trust for the various tank- and well-commissions, the Cooperative Local
Development Fund, and the micro-credit and the local money system
structures.
(Ownership of PV lighting sanitation services
and refrigeration installations in clinics outside the project area serving
users inside the project area needs to be separately discussed. ) (Not
applicable for this project).
