"Money is not
the key that opens the gates of the market but the bolt that bars them"
Gesell, Silvio The
Natural Economic Order
Revised English edition,
Peter Owen,
“Poverty is created scarcity”
Wahu Kaara, point 8 of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty, 58th
annual NGO Conference, United Nations,
Partnership:
Partners
: This project is executed by the Project Coordinator, who is independent
of (the applicant NGO) and acts as
“government”, with a small team of specialists. The local populations
participate fully in project execution for about 25% of the formal money value
of the project. The (applicant NGO)
itself acts as “parliament” to monitor on-going project activities. It reports
to the auditing commission (which may include donor and civil population
representatives and which has wide investigative powers ) which in turn reports
and to the independent auditor (name).
As
a result of (or notwithstanding) this
innovative project structure, which is quite different from that used for
traditional projects, the applicant NGO (does not have, has) partners jointly
responsible for project execution within the meaning of “partnership” as it is
used by (the international funding agency). The (applicant NGO) (will, will
not) make use of executive services of other, local, NGO’s with specialisation
in specific project activities and who (will, will not) support the Project
Coordinator as “specialists”. (In this
role, the NGO’ s in question act as “associates” within the definition of this
term used by most funding organisations.) (The associates are named in the
project documentation and their tasks are defined. However, they do not share
formal responsibility for project execution the way partners do.)

Important:
1. This
application form must be accompanied by a signed and dated partnership
statement from every partner, in accordance with the models provided on the
next page.
2. Partners who are

2. Partnership statement[1][1]
A partnership is a relationship
of substance between two or more organisations involving shared
responsibilities in undertaking the action funded by the (funding agency). To
ensure that the action runs smoothly, the (funding agency) requires all
partners (including the lead applicant that signs the contract) to acknowledge
this by agreeing to the principles of good partnership practice set out below.
Principles of Good Partnership Practice
1.
All partners must have read the application form and understood what their role
in the action will be before the application is submitted to the (funding
agency).
2.
All partners must have read the standard grant contract or contribution
agreement and understood what their respective obligations under the contract
will be if the grant is awarded. They should authorise the lead applicant to
sign the contract with the (funding agency) and represent them in all dealings
with the (funding agency) in the context of the action's implementation.
3.
The applicant must consult regularly with its partners and keep them fully
informed of the progress of the action.
4.
All partners must receive copies of the reports - narrative and financial -
made to the (funding agency).
5.
Proposals for substantial changes to the action (e.g. activities, partners,
etc.) should be agreed by the partners before being submitted to the (funding
agency). Where no such agreement can be reached, the applicant must indicate
this when submitting changes for approval to the (funding agency).
6.
Before the end of the action, the partners should agree on an equitable
distribution of equipment, vehicles and supplies for the action purchased with
the (funding agency) grant among local partners situated in the target
countries. Copies of the transfer titles must be attached to the final report.
Statement of partnership
We have read and approved the contents of the proposal
submitted to the (funding agency). We undertake to comply with the principles of
good partnership practice.

Co-donors:
Co-donors : This
project will be executed by the Project Coordinator, who is independent of (the applicant NGO) and acts as “government”,
with a small team of specialists. The local populations participate fully in
project execution for about 25% of the formal money value of the project. (The applicant NGO) itself acts as
“parliament” to monitor on-going project activities. It reports to the auditing
commission (which may include donor and civil population representatives and
which has wide investigative powers ) which in turn reports and to the
independent auditor (name).
As a result of this
innovative project structure, which is quite different from that used for
traditional projects, the people in the project area themselves self-finance
about 25% of the project costs. This financial participation is not “in kind”.
Nor is the work done by generous “volunteers”. The work carried out by the
local populations is actually paid for by the populations under the local money
systems set up in an early phase of the project. The local money credits earned
by those carrying out the activities are debited to the population in the
project area. For the purposes of expressing this contribution in formal money
as a percentage of the project costs, the credits for services rendered for
project execution have been converted into Euros at the conventional rate of
(Euro 3) for each eight-hour working day. The rate of conversion, and therefore
the percentage participation of the local populations, has been (will be)
agreed between applicants and the funding (agency) agencies. A higher
conversion rate will usually lead to a higher percentage contribution of the
local populations.
