PART 1222_PARTICIPATION OF PROJECT BENEFICIARIES--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 1222.3  Policy.



    (a) Each potential project sponsor shall establish an advisory group 

for the project, to include substantial membership of potential project 

beneficiaries or, to the extent feasible, their democratically chosen 

representatives, prior to the submission of an application to ACTION for 

volunteers.

    (b) The term ``substantial'' means, in this case, a sufficient 

number of appropriate persons to assure that the concerns and points of 

view of the potential project beneficiaries are adequately presented and 

considered in the deliberations of the group. The phrase ``project 

beneficiaries'' means, in this case, recipients of benefits accruing 

directly from project activities as conducted by ACTION Volunteers.

    (c) Potential sponsoring organizations that have an established 

governing, policy, or advisory group whose membership is composed of at 

least 50% of members of the beneficiary population are not required to 

establish a separate project advisory group for the purposes of these 

regulations.
