EXTRA-SHORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
01.
INTRODUCTION
The accompanying Integrated Self-financing Development Project for the
Waso area (
The
project is strongly demand response oriented. It has been worked out together
with the people concerned, who will execute, run, maintain, own and pay for it.
The
project is self-financing, subject to an interest-free seed loan repayable in
10 years. It is structured for about 10000 households (58000 users). The amount
of the loan is Euro 3.750.000 or approximately Euro 65 per user. This is repaid
by a monthly payment of Euro 0,65 per user into a Cooperative Development Fund.
This is enough to cover the basic package offered.
The
project is self-financing because it allows the recipient communities to fully
exploit a network of sustainable development activities using:
(i) The interest-free loan itself
(ii) Local Exchange Trading Systems (LETS)
(iii) Multiple re-cycled interest-free micro-credits for productivity purposes.
Based on an average two year repayment period, the funds recycled are
approximately 18.439.540 Euro, or about Euro 1800 per family over the first
period of ten years.
The
project encourages open competition and free enterprise within the framework of
an interest-free, inflation-free, cooperative and non-profit-making global
financial environment.
The
project structures are created during an initial two years' executive period.
02. THE
MAIN PROJECT PACKAGE
The project is centred on the following main components
i. Hygiene education at community level (Health Clubs) and in schools
ii. Distributed clean drinking water (solar pumps with hand-pumps backup, where
possible locally manufactured)
iii. Sustainable sanitation (based on the separation of urine, faeces, grey
water, other organic waste)
iv. Supply of efficient stoves for cooking (plus solar cookers)
v. Production of biomass to fuel the cookers
vi. Recycling of non-organic waste products (rubbish collection)
vii. Improved structures for schools, and PV lighting for study
viii. Rainwater harvesting and storage for cultivation during the dry season
ix. A local PV powered radio station
