People-Centered Economic Development
People-Centered Economic Development or P-CED is a UK-based entity describing itself as a "profit-for-purpose" company established in 2004.
The name derived from a paper for the steering committee to reelect the President in 1996. Created by Terry Hallman as an honorary researcher, it proposed a new economic paradigm and a business model re-investing 'at least 50%' into social purpose. The model is described in a synopsis of that paper published on the web in January 1997.
P-CED was first applied in 1999 for the Tomsk Regional Initiative, a USAID project which ran between 2000 and 2004. P-CED's ongoing activities are that of re-submitting an earlier proposal for a 'Smart Power' approach in the economic development of the Tatars of Crimea and advocacy for a national scale a 'Marshall Plan' against poverty in Ukraine.
P-CED entered the United Kingdom in 2004 where it operates as a business with the same name, applying the P-CED model to fund ongoing missions in Ukraine.
In a 2004 interview with Inci Bowman of the International Committee for Crimea, P-CEDs founder relates the purpose of his swords to ploughshares endeavour in Crimea and his view of the inadequacy of capitalism, in its present form as an economic paradigm.
The company's activism in Ukraine focuses on the plight of children living on the streets and institutional care, raising awareness through newspaper articles and the citizens action networks. With notable examples in 2003 for the Kyiv Post and in 2006 relating the visit of US based NGO in what was described as a "concentration camp" for children.
In July 2008 the P-CED manifesto, outlining the principles of People-Centered Economics, was published. In the same year, a Ukrainian charity leader deciding he could no longer remain silent, spoke out about conditions in a children's home in Kalinovka.
Terry Hallman was accredited with delivering an example of excellence in the British Telecom Seen and Heard awards in 2008 for his work in raising awareness of the plight of disabled children in institutional care.
