LE PAPILLON SOURCE and the Vegetal Calderas, infrastructures of the Green Empire of the East and the West.pdf

The LE PAPILLON SOURCE infrastructures and their Vegetal Calderas will be co-financed through an innovative
decentralized cooperation model developed by Paul Elvere DELSART, under the sub-program THE MUNICIPALITIES
COUNTER-ATTACK. This mechanism is based on a strategic alliance between small municipalities (typically with fewer
than 5,000 inhabitants) and the LE PAPILLON SOURCE EL4DEV Think and Do Tank, in a spirit of territorial solidarity
and resource sharing.

A model based on the creation of Societal Economic Interest Groups (E.I.G.s)

At the heart of this process, each participating country forms a national consortium in the form of a Societal Economic
Interest Group (E.I.G.). This national E.I.G. is composed of voluntary small municipalities and the international Think
and Do Tank LE PAPILLON SOURCE EL4DEV. Its main objective is to collectively design, finance, and manage the LE
PAPILLON SOURCE-branded cities and complexes within the national territory.

Pooled financing

Each member municipality of the consortium contributes financially, usually from its investment budget, to support the
design, construction, and management of the infrastructures. The contribution amount is standardized to prevent
inequality, ensuring fair distribution of the economic benefits generated from tourism, agriculture, and education-related
activities within the complexes.
Municipalities may also seek public subsidies, European funds, or initiate non-profit crowdfunding campaigns involving
citizens and diasporas to support the project. These funds can be allocated to projects in other territories, provided they
serve a local or national public interest—which applies here due to the educational, ecological, and diplomatic scope of
the infrastructures.

Operational contracts

The commitments between municipalities and the Think and Do Tank are formalized through operational contracts,
which define governance, management procedures, maintenance, operations, and the redistribution of resources.
These contracts ensure operational transparency, traceability of financial flows, and collective co-ownership of the
constructed facilities. This reinforces local sovereignty and prevents any form of privatization or appropriation.

Benefits for municipalities

By joining a national consortium, each municipality:
•
•

Becomes co-owner of high-value infrastructures (Vegetal Calderas, educational tourist cities, agroclimatic
complexes);
Receives a fair share of generated revenues, regardless of its size or geographic location;
