Impact van de Makkie op de Makassaplein Community en op de buurt volgens het Europees Programma CCIA. Stadsdeel Oost (wethouder Nevin Özütok is CCIA-partner).

Results

We expect that after a year the Makassarplein Community/MPC will have become a vital partnership, which is able to realize its goals.
The community currency has contributed to the improvement of the Makassarpleinbuurt: there are many initiatives going on, and new ones are in the pipeline. Residents, businesses, public services, civil society, professional organizations and the local government are actively involved.
There are less people in social isolation and residents and businesses can find each other easier. There are new friendships, there is a greater social involvement, individuals are more confident and know better what their skills are. The collaboration between residents, community and professional organizations, and between local entrepreneurs and community has been strengthened.

After a year:

–       at least 300 residents and at least 15 companies and public service providers are participating in the program.

–       Together they have traded at least 15.000 points.
