Wahu Kaara, point 8 of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty, 58th
annual NGO Conference, United Nations,
N.B: For each planned result, verifiable indicators
enabling on-going project progress to be identified, described and measured
should be given. Refer also to the Logical
Framework document.
How the action will improve:
(a) the situation of the
target groups and final beneficiaries.
All 80.000 inhabitants, without exclusion,
benefit from all of the social, financial and productive structures and
services set up during the project.
Inhabitants will have
A complete appropriate dry composting
eco-sanitation system will be installed in each of the 8.000 extended family
homes in the project area.
A contribution to the fight against water-borne
diseases will also be made through hygiene education through the formation of
297 Health Clubs for women (however the Clubs will also be open to the
participation of men), and the introduction of institutionalised hygiene
education courses in the 60 schools in the project area together eco-sanitation
and drinking water supplies there.
Students and other persons, especially women,
who wish to study in the evening will be
able to do so under acceptable lighting conditions in 297 study rooms built
under the project and fitted with photovoltaic lighting equipment. Photovoltaic
lighting facilities will also be installed in schools so that evening classes
can be held there.
The introduction of high efficiency bio-mass
stoves made in the project area will lead to a reduction (and later, to the
elimination) of the importation of fuels for cooking into the project area.
The work load on women will be reduced through
the elimination of the need for them to fetch water and wood for cooking
purposes.
Local value added will be increase by the local
recycling of non-organic waste in the project area.
Available financial resources (both local money
under the LETS structures set up and formal money) will be constantly recycling
interest-free within the community in the project area.
Local industrial and agricultural production
will be increased through the use local money LETS systems and interest-free
revolving micro-credit systems.
Ecological and sustainable exploitation of
natural and tourist resources in the project area (to be defined) will be
promoted in cooperation with the (name the Ministries involved) and local flora
and fauna protected.
About 6000 jobs will be created.
Young people will be trained to repeat and
multiply this innovative pilot initiative in other parts of
(b)Describe where applicable the
responsibilities and technical and management capacities of the various
partners involved in project execution.
This is not applicable to the project. Project partners, through their
representatives on the Board of the NGO Kiogoro Integrated Development Project,
approve the project, nominate the project coordination team, an on-going audit
commission and an independent auditor, and set up the NGO Cooperative for Kiogoro which becomes responsible for the
operation and management of project structures as they are created. The NGO Kiogoro
Integrated Development Project plays the role of “Parliament”. Having passed
the law (the project) it monitors its execution.
Project execution is in the hands of a Project
Coordination team whose members may not be directly affiliated with the project
partners. The Project Coordination team is nominated by the NGO Kiogoro
Integrated Development Project . The Project Coordination team seeks the help
of four specialists, some of them for just six months-12 months. The Project
Coordination team is the “government” of the project. It answers to the NGO Kiogoro
Integrated Development Project and to the on-gong auditing commission.
Most of the physical work for the project is
carried out by the local populations themselves. The project involves a general
mobilisation of the entire community.
(c) Describe the situation
WITH THE ACTION in relation to the situation WITHOUT THE ACTION.
The project supplies basic structures necessary
to an acceptable quality of life, including but not limited to hygiene
education, supply a clean drinking water, and sanitation facilities to all of
the 80.000 people, without exclusion, in the project area. At the same time the
project makes a complete range of self-managed social, financial and productive
structures available to the inhabitants. All these structures should be put in
place during the first 15 months of project execution. However, some specific
initiatives will only begin towards the end of the 24 months’ executive period
of the project. The production of items
necessary for eco-sanitation and for rainwater harvesting, and of improved
cooking stoves and mini-briquettes for
them will continue beyond the 24 months’
executive period.
Improvement in the quality of life of all the
inhabitants in the project area and in particular that of the women and children
there should have become a reality by the close of the first period of 24
months. However, several more years will be needed to totally eliminate poverty
fro the project area. During the first
24months about 6000 jobs will have been created, contributing to the reduction
of unemployment in the project area. Women will no longer be fetching water
over long distances and will be participating actively in the operation of the
social, financial and productive organs
set up. Each family will on an average
have been able to benefit from an interest-free micro-credit for about Euro
200-500. Over the first ten year project cycle, each family will receive
interest-free micro-credits for productivity increase for on an average about
Euro 2500. The entire population should be actively participating in the local
money systems set up. A beginning will have been made to the reduction of
financial leakage from the project area and the liberation of more human
resources for local production and development.
A contribution will already have been made to a
reduction in the incidence of water-borne diseases through the formation of 297
Health Clubs and hygiene education courses in the schools, the supply of clean
drinking water, clean conditions around boreholes wells and water tanks, the
improvement of drainage in public places, the operation of waste recycling
structures, and a start to the installation of 8.000 structures sanitary
structures in each extended home in the project area, to be completed over a
period of about 4-5 years.
Fight against smoke hazards to health,
especially of that of women and children, will have begun with the introduction
of improved cooking stoves and mini-briquettes for them. Reduction on the
dependence of the population in the project area on imported fuels for cooking
and lighting will have commenced. Some
of the families will no longer have to fetch wood for cooking. Over a period of 4-5 years, distribution of the 24.000 stoves necessary will have been
completed, and production of the mini-briquettes necessary for their operation
under way.
The following social structures will be in
place :
297 structures for basic
hygiene education for women, and on-going systematic hygiene education courses
in the schools.
297 tank commissions.
66 well commissions.
1 project level central committee
1 management unit.
A three-tiered social security system for the elderly, the sick and the
handicapped.
The
following financial structures will be in place:
A self-run cooperative
interest-free, inflation-free local money system enabling limitless transfer of
locally produced and consumed goods and services to take place.
A self-run cooperative,
interest-free micro-credit system for local productivity increase.
The
following productive structures will be in place :
Two structures for the
production of articles made from gypsum composites, such as those for sanitation purposes, the high-efficiency
stoves, rain-water harvesting.
297 structures for recycling of organic waste, and 66 structures for the
recycling of non-organic waste.
66 structures for the manufacture of
mini-briquettes for the improved stoves ; 595 sources for the growing of
bio-mass for the mini-briquettes.
297 structures enabling students (including women) to study in the evening.
66 mobile bicycle ambulance units
66 medicine distribution points
66 milling units
(d)
Describe in detail steps to be taken to monitor the given indicators.
Most
of the social, financial, and productive structures set are by the project are
physically quantifiable. Since the services are placed at the disposition of
all of the inhabitants without exclusion, control and systematic monitoring are simple to organise. The structures are
concentrated in a clearly drawn territory. In particular, clean drinking water
and sanitation structures are physically
present following a systematic and known
pattern..
According
to the new development principles applied in this project, the basic task of
the applicant is on-gong control over project execution. This control is
continuous, with the participation of a team including (an executive director,
an economist, a civil engineer, a sociologist, a secretariat all or any of whom
may physically attend meetings project execution.

manufacture of the sanitation systems and their installation. Check installation
statistics and statistics on system operation.. Monitor operation amongst
random-chosen households. Organise surveys amongst the population.
With
regard to the operation of the local financial structures set up : the
applicant can carry out a comparison between financial activities at the time
of the survey and those applying at the start of the project. Surveys amongst
users can be held. A list of activities started after project start-up can be
held. Study information and statistics on the operation of the micro-credit
systems. Participate in meetings of the management organs of the funds.
Physically check the work and operation of the local money transaction
registration centres.
The
66 recycling centres can be checked by physical observation of the cleanliness
of the environment in the project area. Surveys amongst users can be held. The
recycling centres can be visited. Liaison can be set up with the Ministry of Public Health and with Public
Health inspectors charged with supervision over the recycling centres.
With
regard to the introduction of 24.000 high efficiency stoves, the production of
mini-briquettes for them, and the elimination of smokes hazards in and around
the homes, the physical presence of the stoves in the homes can be checked,
surveys held amongst users; visits made to the mini-briquette production units;
the books and accounts of the production units checked ; the physical presence
of bio-mass in the fields checked.

The “productive” structures mentioned
receive funds to cover the formal money costs of their formation. Beneficiaries
reimburse these funds into the Cooperative Local Development Fund set up,
usually over a period of 4-5 years. The
funds made available to them are interest-free. The repayments are made
according to the real possibilities of those involved. Decisions as to the rate
of repayment are made by users themselves during the Workshops where the
structures are set up. The reimbursements are financed by the sale, for a
certain period of time, of part of the production for formal money outside the
project area, and, in the case of waste recycling activities, by the “export”
for formal money of solid waste which is not recyclable in the project area.
2.3Multiplying
effects and value added
Describe the possibilities of reproduction and extension of the results of the action.
The proposal responds to the goals of and the
principles behind the tender in a particularly innovative way. It provides for
the development of numerous permanent physical and sustainable social,
financial, and productive structures which all become the property of the
inhabitants themselves, in the management of which women play a dominating
role. The inhabitants participate in the
planning, execution and management of the project structures. They sustainably
organise, run, and maintain all of the structures set up at their own cost. The
monthly contribution (Euro 0,60 per person for the first three years-0,75 per
person for the next following seven years) paid by each family into the
Cooperative Local Development Fund covers the entire range of services offered,
and is affordable even to the poorest families, who benefit from a three tiered
social. Security system itself integrated into the project structures.
Sustainable hygiene education, drinking water, eco-sanitation systems at
household level and structures for the recycling of organic and non-organic
waste and for the elimination of smoke hazards inside users’ homes improve the
conditions of health in the project area, and in particular that of women and
children. Elimination of the use of wood for cooking leads to a reduction in
CO2 emissions and to the protection of forests and the environment in general.
The project sets up a complete, voluntary, cooperative, interest-free,
inflation-free local economic environment entirely managed by the community
itself.
The proposed project is fully integrated in an
innovative way and represents a world-wide precedent. Poverty can be eliminated
in the project area over a period of 4-5 years at a cost of about Euro 100 per
person through the supply of a full range of basic structures necessary to a
good quality of life, with the creation of several thousand individual and
cooperative jobs (in this case about 6.000) and local money systems enabling
limitless exchanges of locally produced goods and services in the project area.
Each extended family receives on an average at least Euro3.250 in interest-free
micro-credits for productivity increase over each period of 10 years. The
success of this first project in
Since a group of interested
qualified persons interested in coordinating future projects is trained during
each single project under the Model, the system on which this project is based
is potentially rapidly self-propagating.
At the same time warnings
must be given. The rate of acceptation and practical application of the
concepts depends on the capacity and leaderships qualities of those responsible
(mostly women) for the different structures. While around one water tank
optimum utilisation may be made from the local money system put in pace, around
another system trading may develop much more slowly. Utilisation of structures
such as those for sanitation and those for high-efficiency stoves and
mini-briquettes may also be subject to major fluctuations from one place to
another. The new financial structures
set up do not substitute the existing
formal money structures. They peacefully co-exist with them. Inhabitants
are always free to choose whether to apply the local money system or the formal
money system to a given transaction. The way this is done may vary sharply not
only from one project area to another, but also within a given project
area.
2.4
Short- and long-term sustainability.
a) Short- and
long-term impact on target groups (especially final beneficiaries).
The short term goals of the project are:
a) To carry out a basic
hygiene education programme by establishing Community Health Clubs in the
project area and promoting hygiene education courses in schools
b) To install technically
appropriate sanitation for the people in the project area.
c) To provide a permanent
safe drinking water supply in the project area in all foreseeable
circumstances.
d) To make safe drinking
water available within a radius of 150-200m from users' homes.
e) To contribute to the
fight against water-related diseases through hygiene education, the supply of
appropriate sanitation and clean drinking water systems.
f) To reduce the work load
on women
g) To provide for the
continuity of health, sanitation and drinking water systems by establishing
appropriate institutional structures.
h) To enable students and
others who wish to study in the evening to do so.
i) To avoid the need to
import wood into the local system.
j) To introduce efficient
bio-mass fuelled means of cooking and solar cookers for daytime applications.
k) To create added value
through recycling of non-organic waste.
l) To keep available
financial resources (LETS money and formal money) revolving within the
beneficiary communities.
m) To stimulate on-going
local industrial and agricultural development through the use of local currency
(LETS) and micro-credit systems.
n) To create large-scale job
opportunities
The long-term goals of the project
are:
a)To sustain on-going improvement
of the general quality of life well-being and health of the local people.
b)To free more human
resources for local production and development.
c)To reduce water-borne
diseases so that medical staff and financial resources can be re-directed to
other health objectives such as vaccination programmes and preventive medicine.
d)To decrease infant
mortality and promote family planning.
e)To increase literacy
levels.
f)To eliminate dependency on
fuels imported from outside the project area.
g)To help reduce
deforestation and global warming.
h)To create value added from
locally recycled non-organic solid waste.
i)To create a
"maintenance culture" to conserve the investments made.
j)To increase the local pool
of expertise so that local people can improve their sustainable well-being and
development by identifying and solving problems, including erosion, with a
minimum of outside help.
k)To create full employment
in the project area.
b) Financial
aspects (how the on-going project activities are financed at the end of project
execution).
The project is
sustainably financially self-financing
once the planned social and financial structures are in place, and before the
distributed drinking water structures
have been installed.
Each family pays 0,60 Euro – 0,75 Euro per person per
month into a Cooperative Local Development Fund.
Assuming a monthly input of Euro 0,60 per person, annual revenues for a population de 80.000
persons amount to Euro 480.000. This is in the first three years. Assuming a monthly
input of Euro 0,75 per person, annual revenues
for a population de 80.000 persons amount to Euro 600.000. This is for the next
following period of seven years. Formal money costs for maintenance amount
to Euro 110.000, bearing in mind that most
activities take place under the local money systems set up. Formal money
interest-free capital for various productive structures set up under the
project are also repaid into the Cooperative Local Development Fund, usually
over a period of 4-5 years.
At the close of the first period of 10 years of project activity, a
large sum, net of all on-going maintenance costs, will have accumulated in the
Cooperative Local Development Fund. During the first ten years’ period, these funds
are continuously recycled interest-free in the project area for productivity
development purposes. The total value of these micro-credit loans is at least
Euro 26.000.000, which is at least Euro 3.250 on an average for each family.
Where the initial seed capital is paid by way of interest-free loan which is repaid in a lump
sum at the close of the first ten years period, or where new capital
investments are made in the project area
after the first ten years project operation, the amount in the Cooperative
Local Development Fund temporarily returns to zero. However, the families
continue to make their monthly payments into the Fund, and the capital in the
Fund, collective mutual property of the population, gradually builds up again
as it did during the first period of ten years.
After 20 years, funds are available where necessary to make to replacements of capital goods or
extensions to project services. The amount in the Cooperative Local Development
Fund will in that case once again temporarily return to zero, only to build up
again during the third period of ten years so as to sustainably cover capital investments for an unlimited
period of time. Where the initial seed
capital is paid by way of grant, the Fund does not return to zero after the first
period of ten years’ activity unless the inhabitants decide to make extensions
to the project services. Where the capital accumulated is not used for loan
repayment or for extensions to project services, the sum accumulated can become
very large, and the amounts available to the families for interest-free
micro-credit finance for productivity purposes plentiful.
Of particular interest are the innovative
application of the compensation principle and the new possibilities offered
under the
Under the compensation principle applied in the
Model, users’ monthly contributions of about Euro 0,60 (or 0,75) per person are
covered by savings on some of their current expenditure as a result of the
execution of the project. For instance, where families now spend a large slice
of their income for wood for cooking or for drinking water or medicines, these
costs will be eliminated or reduced under the projects, releasing formal money
for other uses. Wood will not be used. It will be replaced by mini-briquettes
grown, produced, and distributed under the LETS local money systems. The supply
of drinking water and the maintenance of water supply structures are already
covered under the monthly contributions. General increases in living conditions
(hygiene education, clean drinking water, sanitation, elimination of smoke,
better drainage, a more varied diet) should lead to less illness and less need
to buy medicines.
Some sustainable applications under the
proposed project applications reduce CO2 emissions. The main one is through the
use of locally-produced high efficiency cooking stoves, others are the
substitution of the use of kerosene lamps by solar home systems, and of some
pumping systems by solar or advanced hand-pump technologies, and the reduction of
the use of non-rechargeable batteries. They therefore qualify under the
1.
Institutional level
( will structures enabling activities to be continued at the end of the
action be put in place? Will the results of the action be vested in the
beneficiary population?).
Apart from structures basic to poverty
alleviation and an improved quality of life, such as hygiene education at home
and in the schools, water supply, sanitation in the homes at schools and in
clinics, solar lighting for study purposes, solar refrigeration for medicines
in clinics, improved cooking stoves etc, neither the Model nor the draft rural
development projects presented attempt to list all of the initiatives which
could take place, as these are as varied as the minds and wishes of the people.
Cooperative interest-free self-terminating
building society type structures can be set up at tank commission, well
commission, or central project level to finance the purchase of interest-free
solar home systems and other renewable energy structures of particular common
interest to the people in the project area.
However, any services the local people may
consider of special importance can always be included in the project and
itemised in the budget. Some examples are the setting up of a local radio
station, setting up local milk shops for the pasteurisation and distribution of
milk, the creation of cooperative storage facilities for food, especially for
food for local consumption, the creation of a seed bank and the draining and
re-structuring of market squares and public places. Many such poverty
alleviation initiatives may require some project-level formal money funds.
Other initiatives, for instance, creating sports clubs, theatre groups, local
consultants’ offices, or communications centres, plant nurseries, reforestation
etc would typically be done under a combination of the LETS local money systems
and the interest-free micro-credit systems.
As project structures are set up during project
execution they are passed over to the NGO Kiogoro Integrated Development Project
for on-gong management and maintenance.
The organs of the NGO Cooperative for Kiogoro themselves are part of the
structures created by the project. The NGO Cooperative for Kiogoro is founded
by the founding project partners.
2.
Political level (what will the structural impact of
the action be? Will it bring about an improvement in legislation, codes of
conduct, of methods etc?).
One of the most interesting
aspects of the project is that no changes in legislation or of existing rules
are necessary for it to be put into execution. Project structures do not
replace existing ones. They co-exist peacefully and in harmony with them. Users
are always free (except for activities directly related to project execution)
to choose whether to conduct a give transaction under the existing formal money
system or under the local money system set up.
Having said that, success of
this first project in
The initial executive part
of each project lasts just two years. In principle full national coverage can
be attained well before 2020.
3.
Environmental and
social aspects.
The project is 100%
ecological. With reference to the use of energy, it privileges in first place
human energy in the form of (paid) manual labour through the local money
systems set up which are based on the perceived value of an hour’s work, and on
the principles of continuous interest-free recycling of local money and formal
money funds at local level. Secondly,
the project privileges the use of renewable energy sources. It eliminates the
use of wood for cooking and replaces it with locally produced high-efficiency
stoves using locally produced mini-briquettes. Organic and non-organic wastes
are recycled locally. Production
techniques using locally available gypsum composites for most of the items
needed for project execution are zero-energy activities, requiring no other
energy source than the human muscle. Waste waters including grey waters are
recycled at household level and in the production units themselves.
With regard to
social structures, the social and financial structures set up under the project offer a three-tiered social security system
both under the formal money structures and under the local money structures
covering the interests of the elderly, the sick and the handicapped. The local
money debits of a sick person can be temporarily released from earning credits
at the decision of the local tank commission. Where a problem is permanent, his
debits can be redistributed amongst the members of his family, amongst his
friends, amongst members of socially oriented groups willing to help the weaker
members of society, amongst all of the families referring to a given tank
commission, amongst all of the members referring to a well commission, and in
the most extreme cases amongst all of the families in the project area.
