commissions.
Well commissions.
The basic social structures are made up of a
three tier system.
The chain of
responsibilities.
The first level is
formed by the creation of 297 self-administered sustainable local development
groups each one typically representing the same 20-25 extended families
(200-300 persons). In this project they are referred to as tank commissions.
The second level is
formed by the creation of 66 self-administered sustainable intermediate level
development groups each one typically representing the 150-200 extended
families (about 1500-2000 persons). In this project they are referred to as
well commissions.
The third level is
formed by the creation of a
self-administered sustainable project-level central committee and development
management unit typically representing all of the 8.000 extended families
(about 80.000 persons in the project area.
A self-administered
sustainable social security structure for the protection of the elderly, the
sick, the poor and the handicapped in the project area, for both their formal
money and their local money needs is built into the systems at each of the
three levels.
