Application to be explored

Earmarked aid and territorial programmes

A local authority or public operator that funds a specific use must be able to frame how it is used and account for it. This is a line of work for MAP’s infrastructure: it is built with the departments concerned, starting from the actual scheme.

This page describes a project framework. MAP announces neither an existing public deployment nor compliance with any particular statutory aid scheme: the regularity of a programme is assessed against the texts that govern it and the resolutions that found it.

The purpose of the discussion is to determine whether earmarked electronic money brings something to the scheme envisaged: what it makes it possible to frame, what it makes legible, and what it does not solve.

What the relevant decision-makers ask for

Elected official, general management

What is the scheme for, and what can be said about it publicly?

A written framework of use, a reading of the programme’s operations, and limits stated without exaggeration.

Finance department

How are the budgetary commitment and its consumption tracked?

An earmarked envelope, consumption statements, and the distinction between the authorised amount and the amount recorded in the accounts.

IT department

What does this mean for our systems?

Exchanges to be defined, data to be provided in order to apply the rules, a test environment before going live.

Assessing department

Who decides that a person enters the scheme?

Assessment remains with the competent department; the programme then applies the scope decided.

The journey, from decision to operation

01

Funding decision

The scheme is decided and its purpose defined by the competent authority.

02

Programme framework

Eligible holders, categories of recipients, period and ceilings are set with the departments.

03

Allocation

The funds paid in give rise to the issuance of electronic money allocated to the programme.

04

Use and tracking

Operations are decided according to the rules, then reported to the departments concerned.

Scoping points

  • The purpose of the funding and the text or resolution that founds it.
  • How it fits with existing budget execution and accounting circuits.
  • The role of the assessing department and the source of the list of beneficiaries.
  • The justification and control obligations applicable to the scheme.
  • The processing of beneficiaries’ personal data and its legal basis.
  • What happens to unused balances at the end of the period, and redemption rights.

Project questions

Has MAP already deployed a programme for a local authority?
No. The only operational use documented to date concerns solidarity, within the Poto / Mon Ami Poto universe. This page presents a framework for work, not a reference.
Does the scheme guarantee the proper use of public funds?
It frames use and reports operations within the scope covered. It does not replace internal control, regularity control or the assessment of whether the expenditure is appropriate.
Can spending be limited to certain products?
A rule can target a category of recipients. It does not describe the contents of the basket: item-by-item control requires a specific integration and suitable data, to be examined case by case.
How does public procurement work?
The applicable purchasing framework is that of your organisation. We provide the supplier-assessment documents requested; the procedure remains conducted by your departments.
Assessment documents
Entity, status, safeguarding of funds, security, data and continuity: the elements a management team asks for before contracting.
