UNIDA PRIMER (Second of a Series)
Q. What is the common denominator of all the UNIDA programs?
A. Infrastructure is the common denominator of all the UNIDA programs. In all project sites of the UNIDA, there will always be buildings and equipment to support the operation of the local projects.
Q. What is the UNIDA infrastructure for livelihood?
A. A network of buying stations is the UNIDA infrastructure for livelihood. The buying stations could be operated in tandem with commissary stores that will supply the basic needs of the local community.
Q. What is the UNIDA infrastructure for education?
A. A network of extension schools is the UNIDA infrastructure for education. The extension schools could be operated in tandem with public libraries that will supplement the learning needs of the local community.
Q. What is the UNIDA infrastructure for health?
A. A network of primary hospitals is the UNIDA infrastructure for health. The primary hospitals could be operated in tandem with pharmacy stores that will supply the medical needs of the local community.
Q. How will the buildings be built?
A. The buildings will be built using the Lawin system, a system of construction that was developed by Architect Resty Rosales, a member of the UNIDA. A prototype multi-purpose building was already built in Torrijos, Marinduque by the Lawin Club of Torrijos, under the leadership of Mr. Rosales.
Q. How will the multi-purpose buildings operate?
A. The multi-purpose buildings could jointly or individually house the buying stations, the extension schools and the primary hospitals, depending on the local space considerations. All of the buildings shall be owned and managed by local cooperatives.
Q. How does the Lawin system work?
A. Local Lawin Clubs, patterned after the mother club in Torrijos will be formed in each city and municipality. Club members will be the ones to gather the raw materials and will do the actual construction, as it was done in the Torrijos prototype.
Q. What is the UNIDA housing system?
A. Taken collectively, the UNIDA housing system is a network of medium rise condominiums and apartments, all built using the Lawin system, and all owned and operated by local cooperatives. This network shall be composed of individual UNIDA housing clusters.
Q. What is the objective of the UNIDA housing system?
A. The objective of the UNIDA housing system is to increase public access to affordable condominiums for sale and apartments for rent (rent-to-own). By reducing the costs of housing, UNIDA hopes to be able to increase the number of families that could afford the housing component in the imaginary basket of goods, thus making it a way of graduating people away from the poverty line.
Q. What are UNIDA housing clusters?
A. UNIDA housing clusters are composed of about 20 housing units in a four story building, designed for occupancy as condominiums and/or apartments. All clusters shall have their own provisions for common utilities, either to supplement or to improve upon the utilities that are available in the local communities.
