PROTECTION OF THE MODEL
This Model has a
high social and moral value, which must be maintained and protected. The Model cannot itself substitute for poor
quality project preparation and management. Projects prepared by third parties
under the Creative Commons Licence must therefore be submitted for review free
of charge by Stichting Bakens Verzet before implementation. Reviewed projects together with review
comments may be published at the sole discretion of Stichting Bakens Verzet at
this website. Project review will take
place within 30 working days of receipt of the project documents. ( For contact
information, see above)
ONG Bakens Verzet reserves all rights of action in any way deriving
from illegal, abusive or incompetent project implementation of any project
under this Model directly or indirectly bringing this Model into
disrepute. The law applicable is that of
the
The model is built into your main
project index. The index leads you
step by step through the preparation of your own self-financing, ecological,
sustainable integrated development project. The files in the index contain
possible texts for your project. You may
be able to use some of them without making many changes. Where necessary, the texts have to be changed to suit the
needs of the people living in your project area.
The model programme, your project index, is divided into several sections. All the
sections put together form your project.
You can complete the sections of the programme in any order.
You can complete the files within each section in any order.
The main
project index gives you an overview of
your project files. The files are interlinked to help you find your way
from one project document to another. You, and others interested in your work,
can directly open any file, including
the ones listed in the following groups. Some files may appear in
several of the groups.
MORE INFORMATION
: SOME USEFUL GROUPS OF FILES
Short introductions to your project and
instructions on how to get started.
Short
summaries, including an executive summary, with basic information on your project. This group of files includes instructions on
how to get a project started. It also contains an illustration of the
formalities necessary to set up project execution.
Illustrations of your project structures.
Charts,
drawings and diagrams illustrating the main features of your project. They are
available both in English and in French.
Fund-raising and your funding application.
This
section includes some basic tips for fund-raising and a menu of files useful in
applying for seed funding for your project.
Presentations of your project using Powerpoint and Transparents. This
group of files includes course material for local money systems.
Lists
of abbreviations, drawings and illustrations, maps, key words and
acknowledgments. This group also includes files with information on the
applicant NGO and on the project coordinator, environmental reports, and
evidence of the support of local civil society for your project.
Attachments to your project
documents.
A list of documents with information supporting your project. The list
provides extra information on concepts and technologies used in the Model, such
as information on the work of the Brazilian sociologist Clodomir Santos de
Morais, local money systems, micro-credit systems, some recommended appropriate
technologies, and hygiene education courses.
Articles published on specific aspects of
the Model under which your project has been drafted.
The list includes articles on policy aspects, the use of alternative
energy, micro-credits, and drinking water supply.
The working files are split up into operative sections so that you can
work on them. Their names end with the word “work”. To start with, their texts
are identical to those proposed in your main
project programme. Until you have edited each working file and put it into
its final form, you therefore have both an adapted version (the working file) and the original
proposed text (in the index). When you are ready, you can rename the working file by removing
the word “work” from its name and include it in your main project programme.
This Model for self-financing sustainable
integrated development projects is a song of love. It is dedicated to the
world’ poor. Your making it popular is the best possible reward for the many
years’ work which has gone into writing it. Help Stichting Bakens Verzet
("NGO Another Way") sing it the world over. In all languages.
