05.34 : On-going maintenance
structures.
All installation and on-going maintenance
operations on project structures will be carried out by local people within the
framework of the local money systems set up. The formal money costs of some
spare parts are covered out of the Cooperative Local Development Fund.
Inhabitants interested in installation and
maintenance are trained during the Moraisian workshops carried out during the
first 12 months of project execution.
They are expected to form one or more
installation and maintenance cooperatives. The people themselves will decide
how the cooperatives, will operate. Organisation may be at project level, well
commission level, or tank commission level. Specialisation may take place
according to the type of service involved.
Since most products for water storage and
harvesting, sanitation, cooking and briquette-making are locally made,
installation and operation and maintenance groups may be run by the productive
facilities involved.
One or more separate installation and
maintenance groups will be formed for the drinking water supply system.
Specific training in the installation
and maintenance of pumps and photovoltaic equipment will usually be supervised
by the general consultant to the project coordinator. The project ensures that
initial stocks of spare parts for pumps and solar equipment are purchased and
made available to the maintenance cooperatives. These stocks are kept and
maintained by the project management our of the Cooperative Local Development
Fund. The formal money costs of all spare parts are included in the monthly
contributions paid by the families into the Cooperative Local Development Fund.
The financial system is inherently sustainable, as only a small part of the
funds paid into the Cooperative Local Development Fund are needed for
maintenance operations. Most maintenance costs are for travelling and labour.
These are paid by the local inhabitants in under the local money systems.
Local money maintenance costs of structures at
project level are distributed amongst all of the inhabitants in the project
area.
Local money maintenance costs of structures at
well commission level are distributed amongst all of the inhabitants in the
well commission area.
Local money maintenance costs of structures at
tank commission level are distributed amongst all of the inhabitants in the
tank commission area.
Expected annual formal money expenditure for
on-going maintenance.
Expected annual formal money income.
