#### 04.08 FIVE BASIC CONDITIONS

This project has been worked out with the users, who execute, run, maintain, pay for and own all the structures.

The following five basic conditions have been accepted by the users. Without them the self-financing conditions of the project cannot be satisfied.

They are:

2.1 Acceptation of the Health Clubs. These offer basic hygiene education courses. They also serve as a platform for women, so that they can organise themselves and participate and play an important role in the various structures foreseen. The health clubs therefore help address the so-called "gender problem".

2.2 Willingness to pay (at least Euro 3) per month per family of 5 (Euro 0,60 per person) into the Cooperative Local Development Fund. This payment covers the entire package of basic services foreseen (hygiene education, drinking water supply, sanitation, waste removal, high efficiency stoves and fuel for them, and lighting for study purposes.

2.3 Acceptance of the use of local exchange trading (LETS) systems, which enable goods and services originating in the project area to be exchanged without the need for formal money.

2.4 Acceptance of gypsum composite technologies which enable most of the items required for local development to be made locally with 100% local value added within the framework of the local LETS systems in local low cost labour intensive production units.

2.5 Acceptance of dry composting toilet systems with separation of urine and excreta. Aspects relating to the form, the colour, the finish, privacy and similar will all be discussed with and decided by the users. The dry toilet systems foreseen enable waste to be recycled at household level so that problems connected with the pollution of surface and ground water can be addressed at local level without the need for major investments.
