TO ENTER THE MODEL DIRECTLY
The Model helps you write your own integrated development project.
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 can directly open any file.
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.
